Human complement Factor H and Properdin act as soluble pattern recognition receptors and differentially modulate SARS-CoV-2 Infection

This study shows that complement factors FH and FP interact with SARS-CoV-2 proteins and differentially modulate viral entry and inflammatory responses in A549 cells.

The wheat head blight pathogen Fusarium graminearum recruits facultative endohyphal bacteria from the soil, making the fungal-bacterial holobiont nitrogen-fixing and increasing the fungal pathogenicity

This study shows that the wheat pathogen Fusarium graminearum can acquire nitrogen-fixing facultative endohyphal bacteria from soil, enhancing its pathogenicity.

Humanized mice bearing CRISPR/Cas9 Disruption of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 1 (STAT1) to Model Primary Immunodeficiency

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to disrupt STAT1 in human hematopoietic stem cells, creating humanized mice that model partial STAT1 deficiency and replicate human immune system impairments.

Expanding the Potential Genes of Inborn Errors of Immunity through Protein Interactions

The paper identifies 2,530 genes potentially related to inborn errors of immunity by linking known genes to new ones through protein interactions and analyzing their genetic variation and expression in immune cells.

A Creb3-Like Transcription Factor Coordinates ER Function uponFood Intake to Regulate Lipid Metabolism

This study identifies CrebA as a conserved transcription factor that regulates ER function and lipid metabolism in response to food intake, promoting satiety through a negative feedback loop.

Effect of leaf temperature on estimating physiological traits of wheat leaves from hyperspectral reflectance

The paper investigates how leaf temperature affects the prediction of physiological traits from hyperspectral reflectance in wheat, finding that temperature does not influence most predicted traits.
