SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein engages with viral RNA and ERGIC lipids to drive viral core assembly

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein interacts with viral RNA and ERGIC lipids to drive viral core assembly through lipid clustering and RNP stabilization.

Stress Granules Buffers Inflammation by Restricting dsRNA-led Mitochondrial Fragmentation

The paper shows stress granules restrict dsRNA-led mitochondrial fragmentation by sequestering dsRNA, thereby suppressing inflammation and maintaining mitochondrial integrity.

Stearic acid enhances membrane fluidization and peptidoglycan stiffness to promote the stability of Gram-positive bacteria

This study shows stearic acid increases membrane fluidity and peptidoglycan stiffness in Gram-positive bacteria, enhancing their viability.

Escherichia coli response to subinhibitory concentration of Colistin: Insights from study of membrane dynamics and morphology.

This study investigates how subinhibitory colistin affects E. coli membrane dynamics and morphology using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and atomic force spectroscopy.

Interactions of surfactants with the bacterial cell wall and inner membrane: Revealing the link between aggregation and antimicrobial activity

This study investigates how surfactants interact with bacterial cell walls and membranes, showing that laurate is more effective than oleate in disrupting bacterial membranes and inducing aggregation.

Bacterial pore-forming proteins induce non-monotonic dynamics due to lipid ejection and crowding

This study investigates how bacterial pore-forming proteins alter lipid dynamics through ejection and crowding, revealing non-monotonic changes in diffusion and mechanical properties.
