Transmissibility of clinically relevant atovaquone-resistant Plasmodium falciparum by anopheline mosquitoes

This study shows that atovaquone-resistant Plasmodium falciparum mutants have severe fitness costs in mosquitoes and fail to transmit to mice, reducing the risk of drug resistance spread.

VSGs expressed during natural T. b. gambiense infection exhibit extensive sequence divergence and a subspecies-specific expression bias

This study identifies VSG expression patterns in T. b. gambiense infections, revealing subspecies-specific biases and sequence divergence.

Distinct antibody repertoires against endemic human coronaviruses in children and adults

The paper analyzes antibody repertoires against endemic human coronaviruses in children and adults, finding distinct epitope targets and cross-reactivity patterns.

Renal medullary carcinomas depend upon SMARCB1 loss and are sensitive to proteasome inhibition

This study identifies SMARCB1 loss as critical for RMC survival and shows proteasome inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy.
