Horizontally acquired CSP genes contribute to wheat adaptation and improvement

This study identifies horizontally acquired CSP genes in wheat that enhance drought tolerance and photosynthetic efficiency, contributing to wheat adaptation and improvement.

Habitat fragmentation mediates the mechanisms underlying long-term climate-driven thermophilization in birds

The paper examines how habitat fragmentation influences climate-driven changes in bird communities over time, finding that fragmentation affects colonization and extinction rates of warm- and cold-adapted species.

Lactose and its derivatives are a new class of immune checkpoint inhibitors for cancer therapy

This study identifies lactose and its derivatives as immune checkpoint inhibitors by enhancing CD8+ T-cell function through modulation of galactosylation and Gal-1 interactions.

Discovery of a Novel Chemotype as DYRK1A Inhibitors against Alzheimer's disease: Computational Modeling and Biological Evaluation

This paper identifies a novel DYRK1A inhibitor, compound Q17, through computational screening and validates its efficacy in reducing AD-related pathology in vitro and in vivo.

Natural Circulation of Tick-borne Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus in the City Ecosystem, China

The paper reports the natural circulation of SFTSV between Asian long-horned ticks and hedgehogs in Beijing, highlighting their role in maintaining the virus in the urban ecosystem.

Hedgehogs are the major amplifying hosts of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus

This study identifies hedgehogs as the major amplifying hosts of SFTSV, showing they can sustain viral transmission cycles with ticks in both laboratory and natural settings.
