The paper examines how host age affects virome abundance and diversity in birds, finding higher viral diversity and abundance in juveniles compared to adults.

This study analyzes immune responses in COVID-19 patients using single-cell RNA sequencing to identify differences in immune cell behavior across disease severity stages.

This study identifies two bacterial lipases with broad-spectrum antiviral activity against multiple enveloped viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, by disrupting viral envelopes.

The paper identifies novel hepaciviruses and pegiviruses in Australian wildlife and supports virus-host co-divergence through phylogenetic analysis.

The paper identifies a novel glymphatic pathway in the optic nerve for clearing amyloid-beta from the vitreous, which is impaired in glaucoma.

The paper analyzes virome diversity in Antarctic penguins and their ticks, finding comparable diversity to Australian waterbirds and rejecting the idea of low pathogen pressure in penguins.

The paper identifies a new lineage of segmented RNA viruses using small RNA data from Drosophila and meta-transcriptomic datasets, showing evidence of vertebrate infections.

This study investigates the transcriptome changes in grass carp brains under low temperature, identifying key pathways and genes involved in cold acclimation.

The paper compares virome composition between rabbits and their ectoparasites, finding limited overlap and suggesting barriers to virus transmission.

The paper identifies a new lineage of arteriviruses and a novel hepacivirus in Australian brushtail possums, showing co-infection and genetic divergence from New Zealand strains.

The paper compares the RNA viromes of two northern European Culex mosquito species, identifying 40 viruses including 28 novel ones, and shows geographical factors influence virome diversity.

The paper assesses antibiotic resistance gene expression in birds across different habitats, finding higher levels in wastewater treatment plant birds.

The paper identifies HDV-like viruses in non-human vertebrates and invertebrates, showing they share genomic features with HDV but are not associated with hepadnavirus infection.

The paper characterizes viromes of waterfowl and shorebirds, revealing 27 viral species, 24 novel, and highlighting virome connectivity and heterogeneity across host species.

The paper discovers three new hare lagoviruses in Australian hares, highlighting unexplored viral diversity and suggesting extensive unsampled diversity in the genus.

This study shows MAIT cells protect against lethal influenza infection by accumulating and being activated early, with their absence increasing mortality in mice.

This study identifies 19 novel RNA viruses in Australian ticks, including some potentially capable of infecting mammals, and finds no evidence of Borrelia burgdorferi s.l., the causative agent of Lyme disease.

The paper identifies that amino acids stimulate endosome-to-Golgi trafficking via Ragulator and Arl5, linking nutrient signaling to retrograde transport.

This study identifies SmWRKY1 as a positive regulator of tanshinone biosynthesis in Salvia miltiorrhiza by enhancing MEP pathway gene expression.
