Characterization of cotton virus A, a novel and distinct member of the genus Caulimovirus with endogenous viral elements in Gossypium spp.

The paper characterizes cotton virus A, a new Caulimovirus, and identifies endogenous viral elements in some cotton species.

Antibody landscape of C57BL/6 mice cured of B78 melanoma via immunotherapy

The paper identifies antibodies targeting melanoma peptides in C57BL/6 mice cured of B78 melanoma via immunotherapy, using proteome arrays and ELISA validation.

Plant production of high affinity nanobodies that block SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding with its receptor, human angiotensin converting enzyme

This study produces nanobodies in plants that block SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding to ACE2, offering a scalable method for therapeutic development.

The innate immunity protein C1QBP functions as a negative regulator of circulative transmission of Potato leafroll virus by aphids

This study identifies C1QBP as a negative regulator of Potato leafroll virus transmission by aphids using AP-MS and functional assays.

The conserved metalloprotease invadolysin is present in invertebrate haemolymph and vertebrate blood

This study identifies invadolysin, a conserved metalloprotease present in invertebrate hemolymph and vertebrate blood, suggesting a role in organismal physiology.

A V0-ATPase-dependent apical trafficking pathway maintains the polarity of the intestinal absorptive membrane

The paper identifies a V0-ATPase-dependent apical trafficking pathway essential for intestinal epithelial polarity and shows its depletion mimics Microvillus inclusion disease defects in C. elegans.
