Vaccination generates functional progenitor tumor-specific CD8 T cells and long-term tumor control

This study shows vaccination generates functional progenitor tumor-specific CD8 T cells and halts liver cancer progression in a mouse model, while immune checkpoint blockade does not.

The impact of late Pleistocene mammal extinctions on pathogen richness in extant hosts.

The paper examines how late Pleistocene mammal extinctions affected pathogen richness in extant mammals, finding increased viral and bacterial richness in regions with high historical extinctions.

Climatic niche evolution of infectious diseases driving amphibian declines

This study shows that amphibian pathogens are intensifying their impact as their climatic niches evolve, with implications for global amphibian declines.

Taxonomic classification methods reveal a new subgenus in the paramyxovirus subfamily Orthoparamyxovirinae

The paper uses taxonomic classification methods to identify a new subgenus in the Orthoparamyxovirinae subfamily based on viral genome sequences from bats.

Inhibition of amyloid formation of the Nucleoprotein of SARS-CoV-2

The paper identifies amyloid-forming segments in SARS-CoV-2 Nucleoprotein and designs peptide inhibitors based on their atomic structures to target Covid-19.

The effect of resource depletion on the thermal response of mosquito population fitness

This study shows that resource depletion in juvenile mosquito habitats reduces population growth rate and narrows thermal niche width across temperatures.

Poor protection of amphibian evolutionary history reveals opportunities for global protected areas

The paper assesses how well the global protected area network conserves amphibian evolutionary history and identifies opportunities for improvement.

The effect of resource limitation on the temperature-dependence of mosquito population fitness

This study shows that resource limitation reduces mosquito population growth rates across temperatures and shifts the optimal temperature for growth, affecting disease transmission predictions.
