Identification of a multipotent lung progenitor for lung regeneration

The paper identifies a multipotent lung progenitor that co-expresses endothelial and epithelial markers and contributes to multi-lineage regenerative patches in a transplantation model.

The Colon Mucosal Sialylglycome Is Redox-Regulated by the Golgi Enzyme QSOX1

This study shows that QSOX1 regulates sialylation of the colon glycome by forming disulfides in Golgi glycosyltransferases, not by catalyzing mucin crosslinking.

SARS-CoV-2 RBD in vitro evolution follows contagious mutation spread, yet generates an able infection inhibitor

The paper shows that in vitro evolved SARS-CoV-2 RBD mutations, like S477N, E484K, and N501Y, correlate with increased infectivity and are inhibited by high-affinity RBD drugs.

Coronacept - a potent immunoadhesin against SARS-CoV-2

The paper describes the design of a modified human ACE2 immunoadhesin with enhanced affinity for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, showing its potential as an antiviral agent.
