Cross-species transmission and PB2 mammalian adaptations of highly pathogenic avian influenza A/H5N1 viruses in Chile

The paper tracks the emergence and mammalian adaptation of H5N1 HPAIV in Chile, identifying key mutations in the PB2 gene associated with cross-species transmission.

Like mother, like daughter? Phenotypic plasticity, environmental covariation, and heritability of size in a parthenogenetic wasp

This study investigates heritability, plasticity, and environmental covariation of body size in the parthenogenetic wasp Dinocampus coccinellae across different host environments, finding little heritable variation and a size-host tradeoff.

SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific memory B cells express markers of durable immunity after non-severe COVID-19 but not after severe disease

This study compares memory B cell responses in non-severe and severe COVID-19 patients, finding that non-severe cases show stronger durable immunity markers.

The Effects of Incline Level on Optimized Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Assistance

This study optimizes whole-leg exoskeleton assistance for incline walking, reducing metabolic cost by at least 50% across 5°, 10°, and 15° grades.

Optimized hip-knee-ankle exoskeleton assistance at a range of walking speeds

This study optimizes hip-knee-ankle exoskeleton assistance across walking speeds, finding it reduces metabolic cost by 26-50% but is less effective at slow speeds.

Comparing optimized exoskeleton assistance of the hip, knee, and ankle in single and multi-joint configurations

This study compares the metabolic cost reduction of single and multi-joint exoskeleton assistance in walking, finding that whole-leg assistance reduces energy expenditure by 50%.
