Fibronectin: a natural barrier against prion infection

This study identifies fibronectin as a natural barrier against prion infection by showing its association with PrPSc and its ability to reduce prion infectivity in vitro and in tissues.

Visualizing Rev1 Catalyze Protein-template DNA Synthesis

This study uses time-lapse X-ray crystallography to visualize Rev1's mechanism of catalyzing protein-template DNA synthesis, revealing key steps in nucleotide incorporation and product release.
