Inhibition of EV71 replication by an interferon-stimulated gene product L3HYPDH

The paper identifies L3HYPDH as an IFN-stimulated gene that inhibits EV71 replication by targeting its IRES-mediated translation.

Dispersal and evolution of the invasive snail Pomacea canaliculata, an intermediate host of Angiostrongylus cantonensis: A field study around its initial introduction site in China

This study investigates the spatial distribution, phenotypic variation, and dispersal patterns of the invasive snail Pomacea canaliculata in China, revealing human-mediated evolution and potential complexities in parasite transmission.

Implantable nanophotonic neural probes for integrated patterned photostimulation and electrophysiology recording

This paper introduces implantable nanophotonic neural probes that enable patterned photostimulation and electrophysiology recording with minimal thermal damage.

3D Printed Ti3C2Tx MXene/PCL Scaffolds for Guided Neuronal Growth and Photothermal Stimulation

This paper develops 3D printed scaffolds with MXene coatings to guide neuronal growth and enable photothermal stimulation for neural circuit engineering.

On-Demand Expansion Fluorescence and Photoacoustic Microscopy (ExFLPAM)

This paper introduces ExFLPAM, a method that expands the capabilities of expansion microscopy by enabling on-demand fluorescent labeling and non-fluorescent imaging in live cells and tissues.

Androgen aggravates aortic aneurysms via suppressing PD-1 in mice

This study shows androgen promotes aortic aneurysms in male mice by suppressing PD-1 in T cells, suggesting immune checkpoint therapy risks for patients with aortic aneurysm risk factors.

Age-related seroprevalence trajectories of seasonal coronaviruses in children

This study examines age-related seroprevalence of four seasonal coronaviruses in children and postpartum women, showing waning passive immunity and resurgence of IgGs with age.

Stress granules are shock absorbers that prevent excessive innate immune responses to dsRNA

This study shows stress granules regulate immune responses to dsRNA by preventing excessive inflammation and viral replication.

Sex-specific phenotypic effects and evolutionary history of an ancient polymorphic deletion of the human growth hormone receptor

This study investigates the evolutionary history and phenotypic effects of the GHRd3 deletion, finding sex- and environment-dependent impacts on growth and metabolism.

Honeybee gut microbiota modulates host behaviors and neurological processes

This study shows that honeybee gut microbiota influences olfactory learning, brain neurotransmitter levels, and metabolism, with parallels to human autism-related gene expression.

Honeybee genetics shape the strain-level structure of gut microbiota in social transmission

This study shows that honeybee genetics influence gut microbiota composition and strain-level diversity through social transmission, revealing a gut-brain connection.

Structural analysis of RIG-I-like receptors reveals ancient rules of engagement between diverse RNA helicases and TRIM ubiquitin ligases

The paper reveals conserved interaction rules between RNA helicases and TRIM E3 ligases in vertebrate innate immunity using cryo-EM and biochemistry.
