Large ungulates will be present in most of Japan by 2050 owing to natural expansion and human population shrinkage

The paper predicts that sika deer and wild boar will occupy most of Japan by 2050 due to natural expansion and declining human population.

Intranasal vaccination induced cross-protective secretory IgA antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants with reducing the potential risk of lung eosinophilic immunopathology

This study shows that an intranasal vaccine with CpG ODN2006 induces secretory IgA antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants and reduces lung eosinophilic immunopathology compared to subcutaneous vaccination.

The Smc5/6 complex is a DNA loop extruding motor

The paper identifies Smc5/6 as a DNA-loop-extruding motor, showing it extrudes loops via dimerization and ATP hydrolysis at 1 kb/s.

Reverse transcription-PCR using a Primer Set Targeting the 3D Region Detects Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus with High Sensitivity

This study develops a new RT-PCR primer set (FM8/9) for detecting FMDV with higher sensitivity than existing methods.

Rifampicin or capreomycin induced remodelling of the Mycobacterium smegmatis mycolic acid layer is mitigated in synergistic combinations with cationic antimicrobial peptides

This study shows that rifampicin and capreomycin induce mycolic acid layer remodeling in M. smegmatis, which is mitigated by synergistic combinations with cationic antimicrobial peptides.
