This study identifies ZIKV proteins that downregulate AXL and TIM-1 via autophagy, enhancing viral replication and spread by preventing superinfection and dampening innate immunity.

This paper develops properly-polarized trophoblast stem cell-derived organoids that mimic the in vivo placental structure, enabling better modeling of placental development and maternal-fetal interactions.

This study uses low-input ribosome profiling to analyze translational selectivity in bovine oocytes and preimplantation embryos, revealing four modes of translational regulation and their temporal dynamics.
