Crystal Structure Reveals How Neutralizing Antibody Blocks Astrovirus Infection
A team of molecular virologists used X-ray crystallography to establish how a neutralizing antibody bound to the surface of the gastroenteritis-causing astrovirus and blocked its entry into uninfected cells. More...08 Dec 2016


Antibody-Zika Virus Interaction Visualized by Cryo-Electron Microscopy
An international team of molecular virologists used advanced cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) techniques to visualize how the potent anti-Zika virus antibody C10 acts to prevent the virus from infecting human cells. More...07 Dec 2016

Two Classes of Fibroblasts Inhabit the Synovial Membrane in RA
Rheumatoid arthritis researchers have identified two distinct classes of synovial fibroblasts (SFs) differentiated by expression of either PDPN (podoplanin) or CD248 (endosialin), which were located within different anatomical compartments of the inflamed synovial membrane. More...07 Dec 2016

HDL Increases Macrophage Immune Response
While high-density lipoproteins (HDL) protect against atherosclerosis by inhibiting inflammation in the endothelial and smooth muscle cells that comprise the arterial wall, in immune macrophages HDL instead increases the inflammatory response. More...01 Dec 2016

Faulty Protein Interaction Disrupts Neuromuscular Junctions and Triggers ALS
Humans and mice are protected from developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by the action of muscle fibers that secrete and concentrate the fibroblast growth factor binding protein 1 (FGFBP1) at neuromuscular junctions. More...01 Dec 2016
