Mucosal Adenoviral-vectored Vaccine Boosting Durably Prevents XBB.1.16 Infection in Nonhuman Primates

This study shows that mucosal adenoviral-vectored vaccines provide durable protection against XBB.1.16 infection in nonhuman primates, outperforming intramuscular boosting in reducing virus replication in both upper and lower airways.

Critical reproductive behaviors in Scaled Quail and Northern Bobwhite are affected by thermal variability and mean temperature

The paper examines how thermal variability and mean temperature affect incubation behaviors in Scaled Quail and Northern Bobwhite across different timescales, finding that high thermal variability reduces off-bout length and that behavioral responses vary with temporal scale.

mRNA-1273 or mRNA-Omicron boost in vaccinated macaques elicits comparable B cell expansion, neutralizing antibodies and protection against Omicron

This study compares B cell responses and protection against Omicron after boosting vaccinated macaques with mRNA-1273 or mRNA-Omicron vaccines, finding comparable immunity and protection.

Vitamin D Receptor Upregulates Tight Junction Protein Claudin-5 against Tumorigenesis

This study links VDR regulation of Claudin-5 to intestinal barrier function and tumorigenesis in colorectal cancer, showing VDR deficiency reduces Claudin-5 and increases tumor formation.

Extracellular vimentin as a target against SARS- CoV-2 host cell invasion

The paper identifies extracellular vimentin as a potential target for preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection by showing it facilitates viral entry through interaction with the spike protein and ACE2.

Adaptor protein Bbc1 regulates localization of Wsp1 and Vrp1 during endocytic actin patch assembly

This study identifies Bbc1 as a regulator of Wsp1 and Vrp1 localization during endocytic actin patch assembly in S. pombe by disrupting Myo1 interactions.

Recurrent loss of heterozygosity correlates with clinical outcome in pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer

The paper identifies two distinct aneuploidy patterns in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) associated with poor and good clinical outcomes, respectively, and highlights MEN1 mutations as a significant driver.
