The paper identifies two plant cell division inhibitors through chemical screening in Arabidopsis zygotes and validates their effects in tobacco BY-2 cells and multiple plant species.

The paper compares the efficacy of neutralizing antibodies and antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants BA.1 and BA.2, finding differential responses to specific treatments.

This study identifies endocytosis-mediated vitellogenin absorption and lipid metabolism in the trophotaenia of Xenotoca eiseni, revealing a unique mechanism for maternal nutrient transfer in viviparous teleosts.

This study shows that oral S-217622 reduces SARS-CoV-2 viral load and improves recovery in hamsters, with activity against multiple variants.

This study compares the virological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 BA.2 and BA.1 variants, finding BA.2 has higher transmissibility, different antigenicity, greater replicative capacity, and higher pathogenicity in hamsters.

The paper presents a cryo-EM structure of tetrameric PSI from Cyanophora paradoxa, revealing structural differences from cyanobacterial PSI that suggest evolutionary changes in PSI organization.

This study identifies RTL5 and RTL6 as retrovirus-derived genes involved in microglial innate immune responses against pathogens in the eutherian brain.

The paper shows that two doses of mRNA vaccine generate cross-neutralizing memory B-cells against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, which are retained and contribute to enhanced antibody responses after a third dose.

This study develops a stable SARS-CoV-2 replicon system for high-throughput antiviral screening under BSL2 conditions, demonstrating its utility with remdesivir and interferon-β.

This paper shows engineered ACE2 neutralizes Omicron and other sarbecoviruses effectively despite its high number of spike mutations.

This study investigates the effects of histone acetylation manipulation using HDACi and BETi on canine hemangiosarcoma cells, finding that SAHA and JQ1 induce apoptosis and anti-tumour immunity, while JQ1 inhibits proliferation.

The paper shows that glutamine deficiency in cancer cells prevents p53 activation by rRNA synthesis inhibitors, promoting survival during nutrient stress.

The paper develops novel PCR primer sets for DNA metabarcoding of aquatic insects and identifies cryptic species using mtDNA regions.

MeDUsA automates axon quantification in Drosophila to assess neuroaxonal degeneration, showing axonal degeneration occurs with ND-related proteins but not correlated with REP.

This study identifies two structurally distinct oomycete MAMPs, ceramides and diacylglycerols, that induce different plant immune responses through unique molecular patterns.

This study identifies a transcriptional network involving SCL28 and AtSMOS1 that regulates cell size and number in Arabidopsis by controlling G2 phase transitions through CDK inhibitors.

The paper reviews biotic and physical interactions affecting marram grass and their role in dune development, emphasizing spatial organization and its importance for coastal protection.

The paper solves the structure of a cyanobacterial PSI lacking low-energy chlorophylls, revealing their absence and functional roles in photoprotection and evolution.

The paper shows that green spotted puffers are attracted to 5,6,11-trideoxyTTX, an almost nontoxic TTX analog, detected by crypt-type olfactory sensory neurons.

The paper investigates whether grass puffers detect tetrodotoxin (TTX) and finds that they respond to a less toxic TTX analog, 5,6,11-trideoxyTTX, suggesting it may function as an odorant for chemical communication.

This study shows that reducing cytokinin perception in roots increases shoot growth by altering trans-zeatin distribution in Arabidopsis.

This study shows that NKG2D signaling promotes IL-17A-producing γδT cells, which drive cancer progression in intestinal tumors.

This study shows that subacute SARS-CoV-2 replication can be controlled without CD8+ T cells in cynomolgus macaques, suggesting CD8+ T-cell dysfunction may not solely cause viral control failure.

This study shows that highly-neutralizing COVID-19 convalescent plasmas significantly reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral titers and lung lesions in Syrian hamsters compared to moderately neutralizing plasmas.

This study shows that activating auxin biosynthesis transcription is essential for reprogramming differentiated Arabidopsis leaf cells to pluripotency by reactivating the cell cycle.

The paper identifies Cubam receptor-mediated endocytosis and cathepsin L proteolysis as mechanisms for maternal nutrient absorption in the pseudoplacenta of a viviparous teleost fish.

The paper shows that trichome cells in Arabidopsis detect mechanical stimuli from raindrops, triggering calcium waves that activate immune responses against pathogens.

This study compares gene expression responses in Solanum torvum infected with two Meloidogyne arenaria pathotypes, identifying distinct molecular mechanisms of resistance and susceptibility.

The paper identifies tryptophan derivatives that regulate germination and radicle growth in the root parasitic plant Orobanche minor, including compounds that induce germination and inhibit post-radicle growth.

This study shows that Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris FC extends C. elegans lifespan, improves cognition, and enhances host defense through mechanisms involving the SKN-1/Nrf2 pathway.
