    The temporal association of CapZ with early endosomes regulates endosomal trafficking and viral entry into host cells

    Many viruses enter host cells by hijacking endosomal trafficking. CapZ, a canonical actin cap** protein, participates in endosomal trafficking, yet its precise role in endocytosis and virus infection remains...

    ATF3 induction prevents precocious activation of skeletal muscle stem cell by regulating H2B expression

    Skeletal muscle stem cells (also called satellite cells, SCs) are important for maintaining muscle tissue homeostasis and damage-induced regeneration. However, it remains poorly understood how SCs enter cell c...
