Investigating genomic prediction strategies for grain carotenoid traits in a tropical/subtropical maize panel

This study evaluates genomic prediction strategies for carotenoid traits in maize, finding that genome-wide markers outperform gene-specific markers and that GP methods are effective across environments.

The expression profile and tumorigenic mechanisms of CD97 (ADGRE5) in glioblastoma render it a targetable vulnerability

This study identifies CD97 as a targetable vulnerability in glioblastoma through its role in tumor metabolism and signaling, supported by transcriptomic, proteomic, and functional analyses.

Crystal structures of bacterial Small Multidrug Resistance transporter EmrE in complex with structurally diverse substrates

The paper determines crystal structures of EmrE, a bacterial SMR transporter, in complex with various substrates, revealing structural flexibility in the binding site.

Two-dimensional multiplexed assay for rapid and deep SARS-CoV-2 serology profiling and for machine learning prediction of neutralization capacity

This paper introduces a 2D-MBBA assay for SARS-CoV-2 serology profiling and uses machine learning to predict neutralization capacity from antibody profiles.

Zinc Dependent Conformational Changes in the Cation Diffusion Facilitator YiiP from S. oneidensis

This study examines how Zn2+ binding affects the conformational changes in YiiP from S. oneidensis using cryo-EM and molecular dynamics simulations, revealing an intermediate state and a hydrophobic gate closure mechanism.

The ACE2-binding interface of SARS-CoV-2 Spike inherently deflects immune recognition

This study investigates antibody targeting of the ACE2-binding interface of SARS-CoV-2 Spike, finding that only a small fraction of RBD-binding antibodies target this region, suggesting it is less immunogenic.

High titers of multiple antibody isotypes against the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain and nucleoprotein associate with better neutralization.

The paper assesses neutralization capacity and antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2 antigens in recovered healthcare workers, finding that high titers of multiple isotypes correlate with neutralization.

SHP2 Inhibition Abrogates Adaptive Resistance to KRASG12C-Inhibition and Remodels the Tumor Microenvironment of KRAS-Mutant Tumors

This study shows that combining SHP2 inhibitors with KRASG12C inhibitors enhances efficacy in PDAC and NSCLC by overcoming resistance and remodeling the tumor microenvironment.
