Fast growth and prodigious cellular outputs make fungi powerful tools in biotechnology. Recent modeling work has exposed efficiency gains associated with dividing the labor of transcription over multiple nuclei, and experimental innovations are opening new windows on the capacities and adaptations that allow nuclei to behave autonomously or in coordination while sharing a single, common cytoplasm. Although the motivation of our review is to motivate and connect recent work toward a greater understanding of fungal factories, we use the analogy of the assembly line as an organizing idea for studying coordinated gene expression, generally.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) particle assembly occurs on the surface of infected cells at specialized membrane domain called lipid rafts. The mature RSV particles assemble as filamentous projections called virus filaments, and these structures form on the surface of many permissive cell types indicating that this is a robust feature of the RSV particle assembly. The virus filaments also form on nasal airway organoids systems providing evidence that these structures also have a clinical relevance.

Phytochemical-based nanosystems: recent advances and emerging application in antiviral photodynamic therapy.

Nanomedicine (Lond)

January 2025

Clinical Laboratory Science Section, Institute of Medical Science Technology, Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia.

Phytochemicals are typically natural bioactive compounds or metabolites produced by plants. Phytochemical-loaded nanocarrier systems, designed to overcome bioavailability limitations and enhance therapeutic effects, have garnered significant attention in recent years. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has intensified interest in the therapeutic application of phytochemicals to combat viral infections.

The global burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and severe associated disease is prodigious. RSV-specific vaccines have been launched recently but there is no antiviral medicine commercially available. RSV polymerase (L) protein is one of the promising antiviral targets, along with fusion and nucleocapsid proteins.

RNA viruses possess small genomes encoding a limited repertoire of essential and often multifunctional proteins. Although genetically tagging viral proteins provides a powerful tool for dissecting mechanisms of viral replication and infection, it remains a challenge. Here, we leverage genetic code expansion to develop a recoded strain of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in which the multifunctional nucleoprotein is site-specifically modified with a noncanonical amino acid.
