This study shows that AP-4 is required for rapid vacuolar sorting of the borate transporter BOR1 in Arabidopsis under high-B conditions.

This study develops bispecific antibodies that restore effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 variants resistant to existing antibodies by combining non-neutralizing antibodies targeting different epitopes.

The paper identifies key virus-prokaryote infection pairs that drive viral shunt in a freshwater lake by analyzing metagenomic data from surface and deep layers over a year.

The paper shows that vacuolar invaginations in yeast result from changes in membrane physicochemical properties and cellular factors like Hfl1 and the ESCRT machinery.

This study compares the neutralizing activity of IgA and IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients and vaccine recipients, finding that IgA response is modest, peaks earlier, and declines faster than IgG.

This study investigates the genetic basis of postmating isolation and morphology in two rockfish species, identifying QTLs and genes associated with reproductive isolation and color patterns.

This study shows that Notch signaling, specifically through DLL4, promotes intestinal GVHD in mice and non-human primates by enhancing effector T-cell infiltration and reducing regulatory T-cell activity.

This study investigates how oriental bezoar induces antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes through the Nrf2-ARE pathway in HepG2 cells.

This study shows that saffron and crocetin protect against motor symptoms, short lifespan, and rough-eyed phenotypes in Drosophila Parkinson's disease models.

This study constructs a live-attenuated SHIV expressing Ag85B and shows it induces strong sterile immunity against pathogenic SHIV in macaques.
