This study tracks the development of a potent ZIKV-specific antibody in a convalescent human, revealing limited somatic hypermutation and high germline identity.

The paper validates a CRISPR/Cas9 platform for studying immune gene functions in a murine IBD model, demonstrating its utility for in vivo validation of therapeutic targets.

This study shows that glutathione reductase is essential for maintaining a reducing stromal glutathione redox potential in chloroplasts, which supports efficient photosynthesis and plant growth.

This study identifies linalool as a safe, fast-acting, and reversible anesthetic for Hydra, enabling repeated in vivo imaging over multiple days without long-term toxicity.

This study shows that the shift in shape oscillation patterns during Hydra regeneration is caused by the formation of a functional mouth.

The paper identifies novel haplotypes and evolutionary pathways of AVR-Pik alleles in Magnaporthe oryzae using DNA sequence analysis and field-based avirulence testing.

The paper identifies 196 differentially expressed proteins in TGF-β1-treated lung fibroblasts and finds that VLDLR and SDC2 are upregulated in silica-exposed lungs, with knockdown reducing collagen production.

This study identifies a novel maize gene, glossy6, involved in epicuticular wax trafficking and drought tolerance by analyzing a mutant with reduced wax load and increased water loss.

The paper analyzes the global spread of the mcr-1 gene by sequencing isolates and phylogenetic analysis, finding all mcr-1 elements originated from a single mobilization event in the mid-2000s.

This study shows FGF21 reduces melanogenesis in alpaca melanocytes by activating ERK1/2 and downregulating MITF, leading to decreased melanin production.
