Transcription factor Nrf1 regulates proteotoxic stress-induced autophagy

H. E. K. Kaya, M. A. Ward, J. R. Vangala, H. A. Byers, A. Diaz, S. Kaushik, A. M. Cuervo, S. K. Radhakrishnan

This study shows Nrf1 promotes autophagy in response to proteotoxic stress, enhancing cell survival by upregulating autophagy pathway components.

In vitro evidence against productive SARS-CoV-2 infection of human testicular cells: Bystander effects of infection mediate testicular injury.

S. Giannakopoulos, D. P. Strange, B. Jiyarom, O. Abdelaal, A. W. Bradshaw, V. R. Nerurkar, M. A. Ward, J. Bakse, J. Yap, S. Vanapruks, W. Boisvert, M. Tallquist, C. Shikuma, H. Sadri-Ardekani, P. Clapp, , S. Verma

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 does not directly infect human testicular cells but causes injury through bystander effects from systemic inflammation or viral antigens.
