Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a major human pathogen, causing serious diseases in immunocompromised populations and congenially infected neonates. One of the main immune cells acting against the virus are Natural Killer (NK) cells. Killing by NK cells is mediated by

NK cells kill various cells using activating receptors, such as the natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCRs). NKp46 is a major NCR and is the only NCR expressed in mice (denoted Ncr1). Using Ncr1-deficient mice (Ncr1(gfp/pfp)) we demonstrated that Ncr1 controls various

Emerging studies indicate that intracellular eukaryotic ceramide species directly activate cathepsin B (CatB), a lysosomal-cysteine-protease, in the cytoplasm of osteoclast precursors (OCPs) leading to elevated RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis and inflammatory osteolysis. However, the possible impact of CatB on osteoclastogenesis elevated by
Polymer nanoparticles are widely used in drug delivery and are also a potential concern due to the increased burden of nano- or microplastics in the environment. In order to use polymer nanoparticles safely and understand their mechanism of action, it

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a rodent-borne zoonotic arenavirus that causes congenital abnormalities and can be fatal for transplant recipients. Using a genome-wide loss-of-function screen, we identify host factors required for LCMV entry into cells. We identify the lysosomal mucin
