CRISPR interference in a Streptococcus agalactiae Multi-locus Sequence Type 17 Strain

William D. Cutts, Aidan W. Flanagan, Brice Gorman…·Brandon J. Kim

This study develops a CRISPR interference system in a Streptococcus agalactiae ST-17 strain to enable tunable gene knockdown, demonstrating its utility in studying virulence factors at the blood-brain barrier.

Investigating the potential role of capsaicin in facilitating the spread of coxsackievirus B3 via extracellular vesicles

Shruti Chatterjee, Ramina Kordbacheh, Haylee Tilley…·Jon Sin

This study shows capsaicin enhances CVB3 egress via EVs by activating TRPV1, promoting mitophagy and increasing viral protein and chaperone levels in EVs.
