Chronically elevated FGF23 drives sustained renal ERK signaling and inflammatory transcriptional programs mitigated by cFGF23 gene therapy

This study shows that chronic FGF23 elevation causes kidney inflammation via sustained ERK signaling, which is reduced by cFGF23 gene therapy.

Piperidine CD4-mimetic compounds expose vulnerable Env epitopes sensitizing HIV-1-infected cells to ADCC

The paper describes piperidine-based CD4-mimetic compounds that expose HIV-1 Env epitopes, increasing sensitivity to ADCC by targeting Asp368.

Indoline CD4-mimetic Compounds Mediate Potent and Broad HIV-1 Inhibition and Sensitization to Antibody-dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity

This study designs and evaluates indoline-based CD4-mimetic compounds that inhibit HIV-1 more potently and broadly than existing indane-based compounds and sensitize HIV-1 to antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.

Disease Risk Analysis in sea turtles: A baseline study to inform conservation efforts

This study conducts a disease risk analysis for all seven sea turtle species, identifying knowledge gaps and suggesting management strategies for conservation.

Network analyses implicate a role for PHYTOCHROME-mediated light signaling in the regulation of cuticle development in plant leaves

The paper identifies PHYTOCHROME-mediated light signaling as a regulator of cuticle development in plants through network and genetic analyses.

Changes in lipid composition and ultrastructure associated with functional maturation of the cuticle during adult maize leaf development

The paper examines cuticle composition, ultrastructure, and permeability in adult maize leaves during development, revealing roles for wax esters and an osmiophilic layer in dehydration protection.
