The E2 glycoprotein holds key residues for Mayaro virus adaptation to the urban Aedes aegypti mosquito

This paper identifies a mutation in the E2 glycoprotein of Mayaro virus that enhances transmission in Aedes aegypti but reduces replication in human cells, suggesting a trade-off in host adaptation.

Biophysical and pharmacokinetic characterization of a small-molecule inhibitor of RUNX1/ETO tetramerization with anti-leukemic effects

This paper characterizes a small-molecule inhibitor of RUNX1/ETO tetramerization, showing it disrupts tetramer stability and has favorable pharmacokinetic properties for potential anti-leukemic therapy.
