Structural models predict a significantly higher binding affinity between the NblA protein of cyanophage Ma-LMM01 and the phycocyanin of Microcystis aeruginosa NIES-298 compared to the host homolog

Isaac Meza‐Padilla, Brendan J. McConkey, Jozef I. Nissimov

The paper uses structural modeling to show that the viral NblA protein from cyanophage Ma-LMM01 binds more strongly to host phycocyanin than the host's own NblA.

A comparative analysis of cannabis and tobacco smoke exposure on human airway epithelial cell gene expression, immune phenotype, and response to formoterol and budesonide treatment

Jennifer A. Aguiar, Ryan D. Huff, Wayne Tse…·Jeremy A. Hirota

This study compares the effects of cannabis and tobacco smoke on human airway epithelial cells, showing similar impairments in barrier function and antiviral responses, with no benefit from formoterol/budesonide treatment.
