A novel genetically distinct Amdoparvovirus in Sorex araneus in the United Kingdom highlights an unexplored ancestral link

Tiernan Briggs, Dan Maskell, Dan Henderson, Courtney Graham, Bill Mansfield, David Jorge, Audra-Lynne D. Schlachter, Matthieu Bernard, Rebecca Callaway, Damian Osmond, Joan Amaya-Cuesta, Florian Pfaff, Henry F. Ashpitel, G. C. Smith, Yogesh Kumar Gupta, , Mirjam Schilling

The study identifies a novel amdoparvovirus in shrews, challenging the notion that these viruses are restricted to carnivores and highlighting the need for broader wildlife surveillance.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) de-amidation by host-microbiome interactions

L.-J. Kim, T. J. Chalmers, R. Madawala, G. C. Smith, A. Das, E. W. K. Poon, J. Wang, S. P. Tucker, D. A. Sinclair, L.-E. Quek, L. E. Wu

This study shows orally delivered NMN undergoes deamidation and incorporation into mammalian tissue via the de novo pathway, with microbiome disruption reducing this process and increasing gut NAD+ availability.
