Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) are ubiquitous, double‐stranded DNA viruses that establish lifelong infections in human hosts. Central to their cycle is the process of membrane fusion, which permits ...

Experiments reveal that unsaturated lipid membranes promote vesicle fusion and DNA retention during freeze–thaw cycles, highlighting icy environments as potential drivers of protocell evolution. Today ...

Researchers have identified a lipid-driven biophysical mechanism that allows tuberculosis-causing mycobacteria to survive inside human immune cells, a discovery that could inform novel ...
