Cytoskeletal tension and Bazooka tune interface geometry to ensure fusion fidelity and sheet integrity during dorsal closure

Epithelial fusion establishes continuity between the separated flanks of epithelial sheets.Despite its importance in creating resilient barriers, the mechanisms that ensure stable continuity and preserve morphological and molecular symmetry upon fusion remain unclear.Using the segmented embryonic epidermis whose flanks fuse during Drosophila dorsal

Validation of Candidate Host Cell Entry Factors for Bovine Herpes Virus Type-1 Based on a Genome-Wide CRISPR Knockout Screen

To identify host factors that affect Bovine Herpes Virus Type 1 (BoHV-1) infection we previously applied a genome wide CRISPR knockout screen targeting all bovine protein coding genes.By doing so we compiled a list of both pro-viral and anti-viral proteins involved in BoHV-1 replication.Here we provide further analysis of those that are potentially
