Moxidectin and ivermectin inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication in Vero E6 cells but not in human primary airway epithelium cells

This study compares the antiviral activity of moxidectin and ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2 in Vero E6 cells and human airway epithelial cells, finding inhibition in Vero cells but not in human cells.

Density responses of lesser-studied carnivores to habitat and management strategies in southern Tanzanias Ruaha-Rungwa landscape

This study estimates population densities of three understudied carnivores in southern Tanzania, finding higher serval density in miombo woodlands and highlighting the role of habitat and management strategies.

Cooperative Chikungunya virus membrane fusion and its sub-stoichiometric inhibition by CHK-152 antibody

This study investigates how the CHK-152 antibody inhibits Chikungunya virus fusion by shielding virions and altering kinetic competition at lower pH.

A Bacterial Surface Layer Protein Exploits Multi-step Crystallization for Rapid Self-assembly

This paper shows a bacterial surface layer protein uses a multi-step pathway with a nucleation domain to rapidly crystallize, enabling efficient 2D self-assembly on cell surfaces.

Continuous, Topologically Guided Protein Crystallization Controls Bacterial Surface Layer Self-Assembly

This study shows that protein self-assembly alone can form and maintain bacterial surface layers, guided by surface topology without enzymatic assistance.

Self-healing dyes for super-resolution microscopy

This study evaluates self-healing organic fluorophores for improved performance in STED and STORM super-resolution microscopy techniques.

On the impact of competing intra- and intermolecular triplet-state quenching on photobleaching and photoswitching kinetics of organic fluorophores

This study examines how intra- and intermolecular triplet-state quenching affects photobleaching and photoswitching in fluorophores, showing competition between these processes and identifying new roles for intramolecular quenchers.
