Rat hepatitis E virus (HEV) cross-species infection and transmission in pigs

This study investigates whether pigs can transmit rat HEV to other pigs, finding that an infectious clone of rat HEV replicates in vitro and infects pigs, which then transmit the virus to cohoused animals.

Lecithin:Retinol Acyl Transferase (LRAT) inducesthe formation of lipid droplets

This study shows that LRAT produces retinyl esters in yeast, leading to lipid droplet formation, which is morphologically similar to wild-type droplets and confirmed by in silico and in vitro experiments.

Apolipoprotein L9 interacts with LC3/GABARAP and is a microtubule-associated protein with a widespread subcellular distribution

This study identifies Apolipoprotein L9 as a lipid-binding protein that interacts with autophagy-related proteins and has diverse subcellular functions.
