This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to identify cell type-specific molecular changes and altered intercellular communications in COPD, linking them to alveolar epithelial dysfunction.

This study measures the binding affinity of SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 Spike variants to human ACE2 using MST, finding increased binding for both variants compared to the original SARS-CoV-2 RBD.

The paper evaluates the optimal cut-off value of the Nelwan Score for diagnosing typhoid fever in adults, finding a cut-off of 10 with 71.3% AUC and high NPV.

This study identifies FAM114A1 as a regulator of cardiac fibrosis by modulating Ang II signaling in cardiac fibroblasts, showing its role in fibrosis and potential as a therapeutic target.

This study examines vaccine storage and handling practices in rural Kenyan agro-shops for Newcastle disease vaccines, identifying challenges like power outages and cost that affect vaccine safety.

This study detects a high transmission rate of Actinidia seed-born latent virus (ASbLV) from both paternal and maternal parents in kiwifruit plants.

This study identifies changes in the proteome of gut-derived extracellular vesicles in prediabetic mice, showing altered protein packaging that may transmit metabolic signals to other tissues.

This paper links SARS-CoV-2 infection to RyR2 channel dysfunction and oxidative stress, showing similar neuropathological pathways as in Alzheimer's Disease.

This study analyzes the time trend, spatial distribution, and social vulnerability factors affecting tuberculosis incidence in Brazil from 2001 to 2017.

This study shows that nuclear HMGB1 suppresses liver lipogenesis in NAFLD by inhibiting LXR activity, preventing steatosis and insulin resistance.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze aging-related changes in subcutaneous adipose tissue, revealing shifts in cellular roles and metabolic phenotypes associated with aging.

The paper assesses CeMV prevalence in stranded dolphins in Brazil under non-epizootic conditions, finding 27.5% prevalence and suggesting potential marine ecosystem degradation.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of fungicides, botanical extracts, and biocontrol agents in inducing physio-biochemical tolerance in turmeric plants infected with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.

This study examines health issues in falcons treated at a clinic in Al Ain, UAE, identifying common conditions and treatments.

The paper characterizes immune cell subsets in brain metastases and finds that low TILs correlate with high VISTA expression and high TILs with activated microglia.

This study compares the efficacy of mTOR inhibitors in tuberculosis treatment, finding that CC214-2 reduces relapses more than rapamycin in mouse models.

The paper identifies a truncated variant of ASIC2b responsible for sodium retention in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, independent of ENaC and aldosterone.

The paper validates 126 antibodies on frozen sections and finds that only 30% work across all fixations, highlighting the need for context-specific validation.

This study uses a microRNA-based droplet digital PCR assay to identify the tissue-of-origin and predict prognosis in cancers of unknown primary (CUPs).

This study shows albendazole reduces endoplasmic reticulum stress in mice infected with Echinococcus multilocularis by modulating UPR-related proteins and miRNAs.
