This paper evaluates HTCC as a potential inhibitor for SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV, highlighting its antiviral activity against highly pathogenic coronaviruses.

This study shows that microbial adaptation reduces soil carbon loss under long-term warming by decreasing temperature sensitivity of respiration.

The paper re-analyzes soil carbon data from a tropical forest elevation gradient experiment, finding no significant SOC loss under warming, contradicting previous conclusions.

This paper introduces A-Star, a method for detecting rare mutations with high sensitivity and multiplexing capability, achieving detection as low as 0.01% allele frequency.

This study evaluates the binding of ritonavir, lopinavir, and darunavir to SARS-CoV-2 proteases using molecular modeling, finding that ritonavir and lopinavir inhibit CEP_C30 more effectively than darunavir inhibits PLVP.

This study examines how varying levels of dietary NFC/NDF affect rumen microbiomes in Karakul sheep over four periods, finding reduced ruminal pH and bacterial counts with higher NFC/NDF, but no significant changes in dominant bacterial phyla or genera.

The paper compares PAM-flexible Cas9 variants (xCas9 and Cas9-NG) and wild-type Cas9 across gene knock-out, activation, and suppression using a high-throughput screen, finding that PAM flexibility reduces targeting efficiency and that Cas9-NG outperforms xCas9.

The paper establishes a clinically and genomically annotated nerve sheath tumor biospecimen repository to support research on NF1-related tumors.

The paper introduces a microbial microdroplet culture system (MMC) that enables automated, high-throughput microbial cultivation and adaptive evolution, showing improved growth rates compared to conventional methods.

This study develops SSR markers linked to seed storability traits in maize by mapping QTL in two populations and identifies four markers with high selection efficiency.

This paper identifies a stepwise endonuclease activity in PfAgo that enables multiplex gene detection through a platform called RADAR, applied to distinguish human papillomavirus serotypes.

This study shows that the Gly129 residue in FMDV-VP3 enhances viral pathogenicity by promoting apoptosis and autophagy through p53 interaction, and this residue is conserved across picornaviruses.

This paper uses ultraconserved elements to resolve phylogenetic relationships in gekkonid lizards, leading to a new subgeneric classification within the genus Gekko.

The paper identifies OMA1, DELE1, and HRI as a pathway that relays mitochondrial dysfunction to the integrated stress response, showing its role in activating eIF2 kinase activity and potential therapeutic relevance.

This study investigates diversification patterns in Annonaceae, finding that traits like liana habit and pollinator trapping correlate with higher diversification rates, while pollen aggregation and anther septation are linked to lower rates.

This study heterologously expresses Stlac2 from Setosphaeria turcica and demonstrates its ability to decolorize malachite green with high efficiency.

This study identifies SmbHLH37 as an antagonist of SmMYC2 in regulating jasmonate-mediated phenolic acid biosynthesis in Salvia miltiorrhiza.
