Super-Resolution Microscopy: A Virus’ Eye View of the Cell
It is difficult to observe the molecular choreography between viruses and host cell components, as they exist on a spatial scale beyond the reach of conventional microscopy. However, novel super-resolution microscopy techniques have cast aside technical limitations to reveal a nanoscale view of virus replication and cell biology. This article provides an introduction to super-resolution imaging; in particular, localisation microscopy, and explores the application of such technologies to the study of viruses and tetraspanins, the topic of this special issue
Charlie Hebdo is nothing new
Since January’s tragic events in Paris, Charlie Hebdo is undoubtedly the
planet’s best-known journal of satirical cartooning, as well as now being
the one with by far the highest sales. Yet its trademark features—scatology,

The Shadow Side of Second-Person Engagement: Sin in Paul’s Letter to the Romans
This paper explores the characteristics of debilitating versus beneficial intersubjective engagements, by discussing the role of sin in the relational constitution of the self in Paul’s letter to the romans. Paul narrates ”sin’ as both a destructive holding environment and an interpersonal agent in a lethal embrace with human beings.
