Torque Teno Sus Virus 1: A Potential Surrogate Pathogen to Study Pig-Transmitted Transboundary Animal Diseases

The paper assesses Torque teno sus virus 1 as a surrogate pathogen for studying transmission dynamics in wild pigs, finding high prevalence, genetic variability, and patterns of direct transmission.

Prenylation controls proliferation in human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes

This study identifies prenylation as a regulator of cardiomyocyte proliferation through multiple targets, suggesting its potential for cardiac regeneration.

LiF-MS+, a revised technique for mapping peptide-protein interactions

LiF-MS+ improves peptide-protein interaction mapping by replacing the mass tag with a positively charged compound, enhancing detection of binding sites.

Facile detection of peptide-protein interactions using an electrophoretic crosslinking shift assay

The paper introduces ECSA, an electrophoretic crosslinking shift assay, to detect low-affinity peptide-protein interactions, demonstrating its effectiveness with MAP kinase and D-motif peptides.

High-throughput screening of aqueous two-phase systems for polyphenol extraction from A. nodosum: a green chemistry approach

This paper develops a high-throughput screening method for optimizing aqueous two-phase systems to extract polyphenols from brown macroalgae, demonstrating high recovery rates in both model and real-world systems.

Iron-dependent mutualism between Chlorella sorokiniana and Ralstonia pickettii forms the basis for a sustainable bioremediation system

This paper establishes a mutualistic relationship between Chlorella sorokiniana and Ralstonia pickettii to enhance iron bioavailability and azo dye degradation in bioremediation.

Robust SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell immunity is maintained at 6 months following primary infection

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell immunity remains robust six months after infection, with response magnitude linked to initial infection severity.

Ndr/Lats kinases bind specific Mob-family coactivators through a conserved and modular interface

The paper determines the crystal structures of Ndr/Lats kinase NTR-Mob complexes and identifies conserved residues involved in kinase-coactivator binding and activation.

The cost of enforcing a marine protected area to achieve ecological targets for the recovery of fish biomass

The paper models enforcement needs in a marine protected area to achieve fish biomass recovery targets, finding year-round patrols are needed for pristine levels, but community involvement can benefit specific fish groups.

LiF-MS: Mapping unstructured peptide-protein interactions using Ligand-Footprinting Mass Spectrometry

This paper introduces LiF-MS, a method to map peptide-protein interactions by detecting binding sites and dynamic disorder using mass spectrometry.
