Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Regulates Beclin-1 in Hyperoxic Acute Lung Injury

This study shows that EGFR regulates Beclin-1 and autophagy in hyperoxic acute lung injury, suggesting a novel therapeutic pathway.

An Integrated Platform for in vivo Electrophysiology in Spatial Cognition Experiments

The paper introduces a flexible, cost-effective behavioral platform for spatial cognition research with software tools for precise neural event timing and reward delivery.

Recurrent loss of an immunity gene that protects Drosophila against a major natural parasite

The paper identifies recurrent loss-of-function mutations in the Drosophila immunity gene Lectin-24A, showing natural selection favors these mutations in some populations due to a pleiotropic cost of expression.

Simultaneous aerosol and intra-muscular immunization with influenza vaccine induces powerful protective local T cell and systemic Ab immune responses in pigs

This study evaluates simultaneous aerosol and intramuscular influenza vaccination in pigs, finding that combined immunization induces both strong antibody and local T cell responses, leading to better virus control.

Protective porcine influenza virus-specific monoclonal antibodies recognize similar haemagglutinin epitopes as humans

This study generates pig-specific monoclonal antibodies against H1N1pdm09 influenza virus that target human-like HA epitopes and reduce disease severity in pigs.

Ancient BED-domain-containing immune receptor from wild barley confers widely effective resistance to leaf rust

The paper identifies Rph15, a resistance gene from wild barley, which provides broad-spectrum resistance to leaf rust and develops a diagnostic marker for its introgression into cultivated barley.

An alternative AUG codon in segment 5 of the 2009 pandemic influenza A virus is a swine-derived virulence motif

The paper identifies an alternative AUG codon in the 2009 pandemic influenza A virus as a virulence factor contributing to pathogenicity in swine and humans.
