In vivo risk assessment of yellow fever virus transmission through breastfeeding, and mechanistic insights

This study investigates YFV transmission through breastfeeding using an animal model, finding both vaccine and wild-type strains can infect mammary glands and potentially transmit to neonates.

A recombinant CHIKV-NLuc virus identifies chondrocytes as target of Chikungunya virus in a immunocompetent mouse model

This study uses a recombinant CHIKV-NLuc virus in a mouse model to show CHIKV infects chondrocytes, leading to apoptosis and inflammation in joints, contributing to chronic arthritis.

The genomic landscape of contemporary western Remote Oceanians

This study analyzes genome-wide data from 1,433 ni-Vanuatu individuals to trace their genetic ancestry and admixture history, revealing synchronous admixture events and social assortative mating patterns.

Intragenic recruitment of NF-κB drives alternative splicing modifications upon activation by the viral oncogene TAX of HTLV-1.

The paper shows that NF-κB recruitment to gene bodies via TAX activates alternative splicing through DDX17, affecting oncogenic pathways in HTLV-1 infection.
