This paper introduces an automated pipeline for analyzing dynamic 3D MRI data to assess gastric motility and emptying in healthy humans.

This paper develops a robust neutralization assay using SARS-CoV-2 S-bearing VSV pseudovirus and ACE2-overexpressed BHK21 cells to screen antibodies and quantify neutralizing titers.

This study shows that IgT is the main immunoglobulin induced in trout skin mucosa during bacterial infection, with SALT serving as a key inductive site.

This study shows that in vitro cellular aging models can reflect multi-tissue epigenetic aging in vivo, using DNAmCULTURE as a measure that tracks aging across tissues and responds to interventions.

This study screens a botanical drug library to identify inhibitors of Lassa virus entry, finding two compounds with distinct mechanisms of action.

This study develops a virus-free live-cell visualization system for SARS-CoV-2 entry using a fluorescent spike trimer probe, enabling analysis of neutralizing antibodies and inhibitors.

The paper describes electron microscopy of KHV GY01 infected cells and whole genome analysis to study its characteristics and phylogenetic relationships with other KHV strains.

This study shows that microbubble-mediated cavitation induces apoptosis and reduces invasion in AsPC-1 cancer cells through increased calcium, cleaved Caspase-3, BAX, and decreased Bcl-2, HIF-1, and Vimentin.

This study identifies 30 known drugs that inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication, with six showing effective concentrations likely to be therapeutic in patients.

NAD+ supplementation enhances T cell activation and tumor-killing capacity in immunotherapies.

This study identifies 12 immune-related prognostic genes in lung adenocarcinoma by analyzing immune scores, differentially expressed genes, and their associations with immune cell types.

The paper reports the cryo-EM structure of the human TIM22 complex at 3.7 angstrom resolution, revealing its architecture and potential mechanism for protein import.

This study investigates how mixed-species malaria parasite infections in mice and mosquitoes affect disease severity, parasite fitness, and transmission success.

This paper introduces a device that provides current stimulation during MRI, powered by MRI gradient fields, and shows it can power stimulation with minimal impact on image quality.

This study compares the effects of afferent and efferent vagus nerve stimulation on gastric motility using MRI in anesthetized rats, finding afferent stimulation more effective.
