Defining cell type-specific immune responses in a mouse model of allergic contact dermatitis by single-cell transcriptomics

This study uses single-cell transcriptomics to identify cell type-specific immune responses in a mouse model of allergic contact dermatitis, highlighting the role of dermal fibroblasts in type-1 inflammation.

CD5L associates with IgM via the J chain

This study identifies CD5L as a component of IgM pentamers, showing it binds to the J chain via a disulfide bond and reduces IgM binding to pIgR.

Identification of State Markers in Anorexia Nervosa: Replication and Extension of Inflammation Associated Biomarkers Using Multiplex Profiling in Anorexia Nervosa and Atypical Anorexia Nervosa

This study identifies inflammation-related biomarkers in anorexia nervosa and atypical anorexia nervosa using proteomics, replicating prior findings and extending them to atyp-AN.

Brainstem Dbh+ Neurons Control Chronic Allergen-Induced Airway Hyperreactivity

This study identifies Dbh+ neurons in the brainstem as critical for chronic allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity through molecular, anatomical, and functional analyses.

Genome editing of an African elite rice variety confers resistance against endemic and emerging Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strains

The paper edits SWEET promoters in an African rice variety to confer resistance against Asian and African Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strains.

Plasmodium falciparum has evolved multiple mechanisms to hijack human immunoglobulin M

This study identifies how Plasmodium falciparum proteins hijack human IgM to evade immune responses and cause severe malaria.

Development of Equine Polyclonal Antibodies as a Broad-Spectrum Therapy Against SARS-CoV-2 Variants

This paper develops equine polyclonal antibodies that broadly neutralize major SARS-CoV-2 variants, showing high efficacy in vitro and ex vivo with low cost and potential for large-scale production.

Efficient inactivation of African swine fever virus by a highly complexed iodine combined with compound organic acids

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a disinfectant combining highly complexed iodine and compound organic acids in inactivating African swine fever virus under various conditions, showing dose- and time-dependent inactivation with synergistic effects.

Emergence of an adaptive epigenetic cell state in human bladder urothelial carcinoma evolution

This study identifies a TM4SF1-positive cancer subpopulation in bladder cancer that drives intratumor heterogeneity and is associated with poor prognosis.

Association of CD44-/CD24- Breast Cancer Cells with Late Stage Tumor Recurrence

This study links CD44-/CD24- breast cancer cells to late-stage tumor recurrence and identifies RHBDL2 as a regulator of CSC conversion.

β-alanine or L-carnosine prevents the development of pale, soft and exudative pork by inhibiting the glycolysis of porcine longissimus dorsi muscle

The paper investigates how β-alanine and L-carnosine affect pork quality by modulating glycolysis and AMPK activity in porcine muscle.

Mutations, Recombination and Insertion in the Evolution of 2019-nCoV

The paper analyzes 120 SARS-CoV-2 genomes to identify genetic subgroups, recombination events, and a unique spike protein insertion that may enhance infectivity.

Hsa_circ_0001947 suppresses acute myeloid leukemia progression by sponging hsa-miR-329-5p and regulating CREBRF expression

This study identifies hsa_circ_0001947 as a tumor suppressor in AML that inhibits cell proliferation and drug resistance by sponging hsa-miR-329-5p and regulating CREBRF expression.

An efficient method to clone TAL effector genes from Xanthomonas oryzae using Gibson assembly

This paper introduces an efficient method to clone TAL effector genes from Xanthomonas oryzae using Gibson assembly, significantly reducing the time required compared to traditional methods.

Efficacy of fecal sampling as a gut proxy in the study of chicken gut microbiota

This study evaluates how well fecal samples represent chicken gut microbiota, finding that feces can identify most taxa but not fully capture microbial community structure.

Isolation and characterization of antagonistic bacteria with the potential for biocontrol of soil-borne wheat diseases

This study isolates and characterizes Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum XH-9, showing it promotes plant growth and suppresses Fusarium oxysporum in wheat.
