Emergence of bluetongue virus serotype 3 in western Germany, October 2023, and ad-hoc monitoring in Culicoides biting midges

Bluetongue virus serotype 3 was detected in Culicoides biting midges in Germany in October 2023, coinciding with its emergence in ruminants and the presence of Schmallenberg virus in midge pools.

Species- and strain-effects in interferon, innate immunity, and barrier transcriptional response of microbiome interactions of 3D respiratory epithelial cultures

The paper examines how different microbes affect host immune and barrier responses in respiratory epithelial cultures, finding that interferon variability is not linked to microbial diversity or other innate pathways.

Axis convergence in C. elegans embryos

The paper identifies two physical mechanisms for AP axis convergence in C. elegans embryos, with the pseudocleavage furrow-dependent mechanism being key.

Human TRMT2A methylates tRNA and contributes to translation fidelity

This study identifies TRMT2A as a tRNA methyltransferase that contributes to translation fidelity by modifying tRNA with m5U at position 54.

An engineered monomer binding-protein for α-synucleinefficiently inhibits the proliferation of amyloid fibrils

The paper engineers a monomer-binding protein that inhibits α-synuclein fibril proliferation in vitro and in vivo, showing it reduces aggregates and related pathologies.
