This study shows that the lack of ancestral SARS-CoV-2 immune imprinting in children makes them more susceptible to BA.3.2.2 infection, as it evades neutralizing antibodies typically present in adults.

The paper demonstrates that a stable homologous parallel triplex (HP-triplex) can be formed using a Z-DNA/B-DNA junction, suggesting it may act as an intermediate in DNA recombination and other interactions.

This study shows that V(D)J-humanized mice can replicate severe SARS-CoV-2 immune imprinting in humans, revealing that pre-existing antibody abundance influences imprinting severity.

This study analyzes the humoral immune response to SARS-CoV-2 XBB and JN.1 lineages, showing JN.1 elicits superior neutralization and highlights the need for JN.1-based vaccine boosters.

The paper investigates how Omicron-specific naive B cell maturation after breakthrough infection alleviates immune imprinting from inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

The paper introduces Cabernet, a bisulfite-free single-cell method for high-resolution 5mC and 5hmC profiling, revealing epigenetic dynamics in mouse embryos and demonstrating scalability for complex tissues.

This study investigates the role of HIPP1, a partner of the Drosophila Su(Hw) insulator protein, showing it suppresses enhancer-blocking function and affects DNA replication timing.
