Melanoma Addiction to GCDH is Mediated by NRF2 Tumor Suppressor Function

This study identifies melanoma addiction to GCDH, showing that GCDH controls NRF2 glutarylation, which limits apoptotic UPR signaling and tumor growth.

Coronavirus surveillance in Congo basin wildlife detects RNA of multiple species circulating in bats and rodents

The paper surveys coronaviruses in Congo Basin wildlife, finding RNA in 121 animals, mostly bats, with some sequences closely related to human coronaviruses.

Predicting range shifts of African apes under global change scenarios

The paper predicts future distribution shifts of African apes under climate and land-use change scenarios using ensemble forecasting and occurrence data.

Coronavirus testing indicates transmission risk increases along wildlife supply chains for human consumption in Viet Nam, 2013-2014

The paper detects coronaviruses in wildlife along supply chains in Viet Nam, finding higher prevalence in animals sold in markets and restaurants, suggesting increased transmission risk to humans.

Coronavirus surveillance of wildlife in the Lao People's Democratic Republic detects viral RNA in rodents

The paper detects Betacoronavirus RNA in 12 rodents from Laos, belonging to two genetic clusters related to regional rodent coronaviruses and distantly to human coronaviruses.

Incorporating evaporative water loss into bioenergetic models of hibernation to test for relative influence of host and pathogen traits on white-nose syndrome

This study integrates evaporative water loss into a hibernation model to assess how host and pathogen traits influence survival in white-nose syndrome.

Lek-associated movement of a putative Ebolavirus reservoir, the Hammer-headed fruit bat (Hypsignathus monstrosus), in northern Republic of Congo

This study tracks hammer-headed fruit bats to understand their movement patterns and supports the site as a lek, with males showing stronger association than females.
