Cryoelectron tomography of HIV-1 cell-cell transmission conjugates reveals a secluded environment for viral assembly and transfer

Jacob Jensen, Marcela Sabino Cunha, Broti Adhikary…·Luiza Mendonça

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.

Unique RNA replication characteristics and nucleocapsid protein expression may explain differences in the replication capacity of SARS-COV-2 lineages.

Isadora Alonso Corrêa, Marcos Romário Matos de Souza, Gustavo Peixoto Duarte da Silva…·Luciana Jesus da Costa

This study compares replication capacity and nucleocapsid proteoforms across SARS-CoV-2 variants in human pulmonary cells, finding Omicron BA.1 has reduced replication and variant-specific proteoforms.
