Contrasting Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination vs. Infection on Antibody and TCR Repertoires

This study compares antibody and TCR repertoires in SARS-CoV-2 infectees, vaccinees, and controls to predict neutralizing antibody titers and identifies subtle differences in adaptive immune responses.

Interactions between environmental sensitivity and gut microbiota are associated with biomarkers of stress-related psychiatric symptoms

The paper examines how interactions between environmental sensitivity and gut microbiota relate to inflammation and gut permeability biomarkers in adults.

PTEN-induced kinase 1 gene single-nucleotide variants as biomarkers in adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer

The paper identifies two single-nucleotide variants in the PTEN-induced kinase 1 gene associated with lower recurrence rates in colorectal cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy.

Emergence and evolution of antimicrobial resistance genes and mutations in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

This study traces the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae by analyzing genome sequences from multiple countries and time periods, revealing recombination events and antibiotic-driven mutations.

Iodine staining as a useful probe for distinguishing amyloid fibril polymorphs

The paper demonstrates that iodine staining can distinguish amyloid fibril polymorphs by color differences, linked to specific iodine binding sites and surface structures.
