Managed honey bee colony losses and causes during the active beekeeping season 2022/2023 in nine Sub-Saharan African countries

This study reports honey bee colony loss rates and risk factors in nine Sub-Saharan African countries during 2022/2023, highlighting theft, drought, and pests as major causes.

Reduced Achilles tendon stiffness in aging persists at matched activations and associates with higher metabolic cost of walking

This study finds older adults have reduced Achilles tendon stiffness and higher metabolic cost of walking, linking lower stiffness to increased energy expenditure.

#COVIDisAirborne: AI-Enabled Multiscale Computational Microscopy of Delta SARS-CoV-2 in a Respiratory Aerosol

This paper uses AI-enabled multiscale computational microscopy to study SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant in respiratory aerosols, revealing atomic-level insights into airborne transmission.

The C. albicans virulence factor Candidalysin polymerizes in solution to form membrane pores and damage epithelial cells.

This study reveals that Candidalysin polymerizes in solution to form membrane pores, damaging epithelial cells, and identifies polymerization as a therapeutic target for candidiasis.

A COVID-19 vaccine candidate using SpyCatcher multimerization of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor-binding domain induces potent neutralising antibody responses

This study develops a vaccine candidate using SpyCatcher technology to display the SARS-CoV-2 RBD, showing strong neutralizing antibody responses in mice and pigs.

Differential gene expression in chicken primary B cells infected ex vivo with attenuated and very virulent strains of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV)

This study compares gene expression in chicken B cells infected with attenuated and very virulent IBDV strains to identify differences in immune response and virulence factors.
