Construction of whole cell bacterial biosensors as an alternative environmental monitoring technology to detect naphthenic acids in oil sands process-affected water.

This paper constructs bacterial biosensors to detect naphthenic acids in oil sands process-affected water using synthetic biology approaches.

The Impact of SIV-Induced Immunodeficiency on Clinical Manifestation, Immune Response, and Viral Dynamics in SARS-CoV-2 Coinfection

This study examines how SIV-induced immunodeficiency affects SARS-CoV-2 infection in macaques, finding that while immune responses are impaired, viral kinetics and evolution remain unchanged.

Myeloid cell-driven nonregenerative pulmonary scarring is conserved in multiple nonhuman primate species regardless of SARS-CoV-2 infection modality

This study shows that nonhuman primates develop similar pulmonary scarring regardless of SARS-CoV-2 infection route, suggesting conserved disease mechanisms.

The pigtail macaque (Macaca nemestrina) model of COVID-19 reproduces diverse clinical outcomes and reveals new and complex signatures of disease

This study shows that pigtail macaques infected with SARS-CoV-2 exhibit mild-to-moderate disease with specific immune and viral dynamics, making them a potential model for studying COVID-19.

Intra-host SARS-CoV-2 evolution in the gut of mucosally-infected Chlorocebus aethiops (African green monkeys)

This study tracks SARS-CoV-2 evolution in African green monkeys after respiratory infection, identifying mutations lost in vivo and host-adapted variants.
