This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein activates macrophages and induces acute lung inflammation in mice.

The paper tests resistance of new cacao hybrids against Phytophthora megakarya using Leaf Disc and Whole Leaf Tests, identifying resistant and moderately resistant hybrids for breeding programs.

This study investigates how belt electrode-skeletal muscle electrical stimulation (B-SES) affects immobilization-induced muscle fibrosis by reducing macrophage accumulation and fibrotic markers in rats.

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein damages endothelial cells by reducing ACE2 expression and impairing mitochondrial function, leading to vascular inflammation.

This study shows that loss of Tmem30a in podocytes causes albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis in mice, with reduced TMEM30A expression observed in human podocytopathies.

This study identifies and characterizes five garlic viruses using coat protein gene sequences, revealing complex mixtures and high diversity in Ethiopian garlic samples.

This study shows OPG levels are elevated in fibrotic lung tissue and correlate with IPF disease progression and reduced lung function.

This study shows that inhibiting LOXL2 reduces renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis in a mouse model and affects TGF-β/Smad signaling.

This study tests a commercial autogenous vaccine for ballan wrasse against Aeromonas salmonicida vapA type V, showing high protection and immune response.

This paper evaluates strategies to control cucumber green mottle mosaic virus in greenhouses using disinfectants and resistant cucumber varieties, finding that specific cleaning methods and certain varieties reduce infection spread.

This study evaluates ischaemic postconditioning in equine jejunal ischaemia, finding reduced mucosal denudation and paracellular permeability in the postconditioned group.

This study shows that fat tissue loss in mice infected with Trypanosoma cruzi worsens cardiac parasite load, inflammation, and severity of chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy.

This study examines how furfural residue amendments affect rhizosphere microbiota diversity and composition in long-term maize monocropping, showing increased beneficial microbes and reduced pathogens.

This study identifies RpoS as a key factor enabling enteric pathogens to colonize plants during disease, highlighting its role in nutrient metabolism and stress response.

The paper introduces CQU-ConceFT, a standardized version of the ConceFT algorithm, to analyze non-stationary time series and visualize spindle structures in EEG signals.

The paper shows that Eip74EF rescues VCP mutant phenotypes in Drosophila, while miR-34 overexpression is lethal, suggesting different roles for miR-34 targets in ALS-FTD.

This study shows that the PNPLA3 148M variant in human hepatocytes worsens non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in chimeric mice on a hypercaloric diet.

This study examines how endogenous AngII levels change with exogenous AngII infusion and their impact on AAA and atherosclerosis in mice.

The paper identifies a regulatory loop between MITF and HERV-K Rec that influences melanoma progression from proliferative to invasive stages.

This study tests the antiviral effect of Cynodon dactylon extract on IMNV in shrimp, finding 98% survival rate with extract treatment.
