High-content image-based screening reveals vaccinia virus membrane proteins as potential regulators of LC3 lipidation

Autophagy is a catabolic process used for the degradation of organelles and proteins, and it also functions as a cellular defense mechanism, known as xenophagy, during infection. Vaccinia virus (VACV), the prototypic poxvirus, replicates exclusively in the cytoplasm of host cells...

The UZH protocol: Separating errors and constructing improved CP2K basis sets and pseudopotentials

Reliable density-functional simulations require numerical settings whose residual errors are smaller than the chemical and materials trends being interpreted. In CP2K/QUICKSTEP, this requirement is complicated by the joint use of atom-centered Gaussian basis sets and norm-conserv...

Model-free interpretation of X-ray Thomson scattering measurements

Abstract X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) has emerged as a widely used diagnostics for extreme states of matter in a great variety of situations, and over a broad range of parameters. The standard approach for the interpretation of XRTS measurements is given by the forward modelin...

Spectrally Programmable Spin‐Polarized Photocurrents in WSe 2 –NiPS 3 Magnetic van der Waals Heterostructures

ABSTRACT Efficient generation and control of spin‐polarized currents in semiconductors remain central challenges for spin‐based electronics, particularly due to impedance mismatch and the reliance on magnetic fields or ferromagnetic contacts. Here, we introduce a materials platfo...
