The paper traces the evolutionary origin of wheat blast resistance gene Rmg8 and shows its ability to recognize both wheat blast and powdery mildew pathogens.

This study compares two live-attenuated vaccines in hamsters, showing that B/HPIV3/S-6P induces stronger immune responses and better protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants than B/HPIV3/S-2P.

The paper investigates whether lepidopteran prolegs are serial homologs of thoracic legs, finding they are novel traits with distinct gene regulatory networks.

This study evaluates an intranasal parainfluenza virus-vectored SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in macaques, showing it induces mucosal and systemic immunity and protects against viral challenge.

The paper investigates how the gene Ultrabithorax (Ubx) regulates a three-gene network for eyespot development in butterfly wings, revealing sector-specific regulatory differences between forewings and hindwings.

The paper shows butterfly eyespots evolved by repurposing the antennal gene-regulatory network, using transcriptome analysis and CRISPR experiments to demonstrate shared genetic control.

This study shows that Hox genes Antp and Ubx are essential for eyespot development in Bicyclus anynana butterflies, with Antp also required for silver scales in males.

This study examines how Rac inhibition affects apoptosis in different grades of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, showing varying responses based on malignancy grade and JNK activation.

This paper shows that a convolutional neural network can classify hematopoietic tumor cell lines with >90% accuracy using bright-field images.
