During infection of bladder epithelial cells, uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) can stop
dividing and grow into highly filamentous forms. Here, we find that some filaments of E. coli …

ABSTRACT HIV-1 must generate infectious virions to spread to new hosts and HIV-1
unspliced RNA (HIV-1 RNA) plays two central roles in this process. HIV-1 RNA serves as an …

Cardiac valves ensure unidirectional blood flow through the heart, and altering their function
can result in heart failure. Flow sensing via wall shear stress and wall stretching through the …

Gasdermins oligomerize to form pores in the cell membrane, causing regulated lytic cell
death called pyroptosis. Mammals encode five gasdermins that can trigger pyroptosis …
