This study assesses the infectivity and immune evasion of the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant using pseudotyped viruses and neutralizing assays against convalescent sera and vaccinated individuals.

This paper measures the effect of micromagnetic stimulation on rat hippocampal neurons and models the relationship between stimulation frequency and current amplitude threshold.

This study identifies a TM4SF1-positive cancer subpopulation in bladder cancer that drives intratumor heterogeneity and is associated with poor prognosis.

This study shows that in birds, pair bond strength influences sex differences in parental response to offspring begging, with stronger bonds linked to male responsiveness and weaker bonds to female responsiveness.

The paper evaluates the neutralization efficacy of inactivated and RBD-subunit vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617 and B.1.1.7 variants using a pseudovirus-based assay.

This study evaluates the neutralizing activity of mRNA-1273 vaccine-induced sera against SARS-CoV-2 variants, finding reduced but still effective neutralization against several variants compared to the wild-type virus.

The paper reports cryo-EM structures of human TMEM120A and TMEM120B, revealing similar dimeric assemblies but no structural basis for their differing mechanosensing properties.

This study introduces terahertz wave modulation to enhance hearing perception in animals by increasing cochlear hair cell currents and sensitivity without genetic modification.

This study evaluates mRNA-1273 vaccine efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351 in nonhuman primates, finding that two doses significantly reduce viral replication in the airways.

This study shows that mRNA-1273 vaccine-induced antibody responses correlate with protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection in nonhuman primates.

This study evaluates updated SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines in mice, showing that mRNA-1273.351 boosts neutralization against B.1.351 and mRNA-1273.211 provides broad cross-variant protection.

The paper shows that Bt-cotton adoption in China increased the prevalence of a symbiotic virus in the cotton bollworm, enhancing its resistance to Bt-cotton.

This study evaluates the neutralizing antibody response of mRNA-1273 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 using pseudovirus neutralization assays.
