TL;DR: It is reported that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) expresses miRNAs during its productive lytic infection of four clinically relevant human cell types: fibroblast, endothelial, epithelial and astrocyte cells, and the sequences of the miRN as expressed from the UL23 and US24 loci of the viral genome were conserved among all HCMV strains examined and in chimpanzee cytomeGalovirus.

TL;DR: This study has shown that IsrM sRNA functions as a pathogenicity island-encoded sRNA directly involved in Salmonella pathogenesis in animals, and suggests that sRNAs may represent a distinct class of virulence factors that are important for bacterial infection in vivo.

TL;DR: COWL introduces label-based mandatory access control to browsing contexts in a way that is fully backward-compatible with legacy web content and allows both the inclusion of untrusted scripts in applications and the building of mashups that combine sensitive information from multiple mutually distrusting origins, all while protecting users' privacy.

TL;DR: This paper implements instruction-based scheduling, a new kind of scheduler that is indifferent to timing perturbations from underlying hardware components, such as the cache, TLB, and CPU buses, and shows this scheduler is secure against cache-based internal timing attacks for applications using a single CPU.

TL;DR: The work evaluates the attack surface, showcases examples of vulnerable high-profile applications, and provides a set of practicable and low-overhead solutions to defend against these kinds of attacks.
