This study shows that the SARS-CoV-specific antibody CR3022 binds strongly to 2019-nCoV RBD with a KD of 6.3 nM, while other antibodies targeting the ACE2 site fail to bind, highlighting the importance of RBD differences for cross-reactivity.

This study shows that a diversified learning environment improves active avoidance learning and mitigates stress-induced learning impairments in animals.

This study uses laser-induced DNA damage in mitotic cells to show DNA repair occurs, is affected by DNA-PKcs and ATM, and reveals 25% of damaged cells proceed to mitosis.

This study shows that IL-22 and IL-18 prevent and cure rotavirus infection by distinct mechanisms involving cell extrusion and pyroptosis in intestinal epithelial cells.

This study shows that calorie restriction leads to BMI loss in nonobese individuals, with variations linked to gut microbiota enterotypes.

The paper compares gut metagenomics and metaproteomics in prediabetics and treatment-naïve type 2 diabetics to identify host-microbial interplays across disease stages.

The paper compares nitrogen allocation in leaves of nitrogen-fixing and non-nitrogen-fixing tree species, finding lower photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency in nitrogen-fixing species due to reduced allocation to Rubisco and bioenergetics.

This study shows that membrane tension does not propagate across intact cells, challenging the idea that it mediates long-range signaling.

This study identifies 208 imprinted genes in rice, showing limited transposable element association, intraspecific variation, and conservation of imprinting at some loci across plant species.
