HIV-1: revealed during the nuclear entry step. Direct visualization in living cells using “HIV-1 ANCHOR” technology
Researchers from Institut Pasteur (Paris), Paris-Descartes University and CNRS, studying HIV-1, have been able to visualize in living cells (direct visualization) the retrotranscribed viral genome, which is capable to integrate into the human genome. They also observed that multiple viral capsid proteins are responsible to lead the retrotranscribed HIV-1 DNA inside the host nucleus. Those direct...

A comprehensive analysis of midbodies, bridges between dividing cells
Scientists at the Institut Pasteur have developed a method to isolate midbodies, bridges that link cells undergoing cytokinesis. Using the latest mass spectrometry methods, they produced a comprehensive inventory and revealed the presence of 1,732 proteins! By characterizing three of these proteins in detail, they pinpointed novel molecular mechanisms involved in both cell division and virus...
