This study uses cryoET to reveal that HIV-1 cell-cell transmission occurs in secluded intercellular spaces, and develops flow cytometry to show CD4 partially mediates conjugate formation but not entry.

This paper introduces a method for purifying HIV virions with high yield and minimal force, enabling detailed structural analysis of virion maturation.

This study shows that UVC irradiation at cryogenic temperatures can inactivate pathogens without damaging their structure, making them suitable for cryo-EM analysis.
