Prevotella copri-related effects of a therapeutic food for malnutrition

The paper investigates the role of Prevotella copri in mediating the metabolic effects of a therapeutic food for malnutrition using gnotobiotic mouse models and multi-omics analyses.

Functional brain region-specific neural spheroids for modeling neurological diseases and therapeutics screening

The paper develops brain region-specific neural spheroids for disease modeling and drug screening, demonstrating their utility in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Opioid Use Disorder.

Pyrimidine biosynthesis inhibitors synergize with nucleoside analogs to block SARS-CoV-2 infection

The paper screens 18,000 drugs for antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, identifies synergistic combinations of pyrimidine biosynthesis inhibitors and nucleoside analogs, and validates their efficacy in vitro and in vivo.

Modeling SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza Infections and Antiviral Treatments in Human Lung Epithelial Tissue Equivalents

The paper validates in vitro human lung tissue models for studying SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus infections and antiviral treatments.

Real-time sharing of drug screening data on the NCATS OpenData Portal accelerates translational research

This paper describes the NCATS OpenData Portal, a platform for real-time sharing of drug screening data that accelerates translational research by enabling immediate access to large-scale datasets.

An Integrated Systems Biology Approach Identifies the Proteasome as a Critical Host Machinery for ZIKV and DENV Replication

The paper identifies the proteasome as critical for ZIKV and DENV replication through three systems biology approaches and finds proteasome inhibitors suppress both viruses.

Cytoprotection by a naturally occurring variant of ATP5G1 in Arctic ground squirrels

This study identifies a naturally occurring ATP5G1 variant in Arctic ground squirrels that enhances mitochondrial function and cell resilience to metabolic stress through a specific amino acid substitution.
