This study identifies single domain antibodies that neutralize SARS-CoV2 by targeting the cleavage site and receptor binding domain of the spike protein, showing their stability and effectiveness in blocking infectivity.

The paper shows that host autophagy drives organ wasting and nutrient mobilization to support tumor growth in Drosophila.

This paper shows that the Drosophila odor receptor coreceptor (Orco) enters olfactory cilia in two stages post-eclosion and is localized to the distal ciliary domain by the kinesin-2 motor complex.

This study establishes a mouse model to investigate PPRV pathogenesis, showing that IFNR KO mice succumb to infection regardless of dose, with neutrophils/macrophages transporting virus to CNS and CD8+ T cells providing protection.

This paper identifies an antibody epitope and a risk score to predict severe COVID-19 outcomes with high specificity.

This paper develops a genetic system in Mariprofundus ferrooxydans to engineer lithoheterotrophy, demonstrating energy generation from carbon oxidation in an obligate chemolithoautotroph.

This study uses a coronavirus antigen microarray to identify distinct antibody reactivity patterns in SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma, showing high concordance with existing assays and revealing clusters with potential implications for treatment efficacy.

The paper introduces a low-cost, portable imaging system for specific COVID-19 antibody testing using microarrays, achieving performance comparable to expensive commercial readers.

This paper validates a coronavirus antigen microarray to distinguish SARS-CoV-2 convalescent blood from pre-pandemic controls, showing improved discrimination with spike and nucleoprotein antigens.

The paper develops a coronavirus antigen microarray to study serologic cross-reactivity between common human coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2, finding high IgG reactivity to common coronaviruses and low reactivity to SARS-CoV-2 with some cross-reactivity to conserved antigens.

The paper investigates microbial induced calcite precipitation for manufacturing space bricks and proposes experiments in low-earth orbit using lunar simulant soil.

This study examines the relationship between personality traits and brain hemisphere lateralization in Deccan Mahseer juveniles, finding no correlation between personality and lateralization.

This study investigates the efficiency of microbially induced calcite precipitation using Bacillus velezensis with guar gum as a biopolymer additive, showing significant precipitation and consolidation of sand.

This study identifies Atg8a's interaction with Sequoia and other proteins to regulate autophagy gene expression in Drosophila.

This paper develops a maximum parsimony algorithm to reconstruct ancestral operon states and introduces a software tool for exploring gene block and operon evolution.

This study shows that unrestrained ESCRT-III activity at micronuclei causes chromosome fragmentation and DNA damage, while it facilitates repair in primary nuclei.

The paper introduces evolutionary traceability to improve the reconstruction of ancient gene sets by distinguishing between true absence and non-detection of orthologs.

The paper introduces a method to enhance PDMS bonding for microfluidic devices, improving cell network studies by increasing bond strength and reducing harmful oligomers.

This study evaluates the stability of haematological parameters at different storage temperatures, finding that most parameters degrade rapidly at 33°C but some remain stable.

This study shows that Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 can take up electrons from a cathode, generating ATP and reducing cellular decay rate, suggesting a mechanism for energy conservation in low-growth environments.

This study shows that RNA repeat expansions can undergo gelation, forming clusters that resemble disease-associated nuclear foci, and that this gelation occurs above a critical repeat threshold similar to disease manifestation.
