Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zika virus produces noncoding RNAs using a multi-pseudoknot structure that confounds a cellular exonuclease

TL;DR: The authors solved the structure of one of ZIKV's sfRNAs by x-ray crystallography and found that the multi-pseudoknot structure that it adopts underlies its exonuclease resistance, clarifying the mechanism of exonuclelease resistance and identifies features that may modulate function in diverse flaviviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Respiratory viral infections in patients with chronic, obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: Respiratory viral infections are commonly associated with acute respiratory illness in COPD patients, and the use of RT-PCR assays significantly increases the ability to diagnose these infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alpha-Synuclein Expression Restricts RNA Viral Infections in the Brain

TL;DR: It is discovered that native neuronal expression of alpha-synuclein inhibited viral infection in the central nervous system, and this work proposes a model in which virus-induced Asyn localizes to ER-derived membranes, modulates virus- induced ER stress signaling, and inhibits viral replication, growth, and injury in the CNS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zika virus: An emergent neuropathological agent.

TL;DR: The rapid advance of the virus in the Americas and its likely association with microcephaly and Guillain–Barré syndrome make Zika an urgent public health concern.
