The asymmetric opening of HIV-1 Env by a potent CD4 mimetic enables anti-coreceptor binding site antibodies to mediate ADCC
Light-modulated stem cells in the camera-type eye of an annelid model for adult brain plasticity
Abstract Camera-type eyes in vertebrates and cephalopods are striking examples of parallel evolution of a complex structure. While comparisons have focused on th...
Extracellular activation of HCN4 by a subtype-specific nanobody
Dietary lipid content modifies wah-1/AIFM1-associated phenotypes via LRK-1 and DRP-1 expression in C. elegans
Abstract Eukaryotic cells rely on mitochondria to fine-tune their metabolism in response to environmental and nutritional changes. However, how mitochondria adap...
All-optical strategies to minimize photobleaching in reversibly switchable fluorescent proteins
Abstract Photobleaching is a general hurdle of fluorescence-based techniques especially in high-resolution microscopy that relies on prolonged and complex illumination. Strategies to...
