The paper shows that Nirmatrelvir-resistant mutations in SARS-CoV-2 Mpro enhance immune evasion by cleaving NEMO, leading to reduced immune response and improved viral replication.

This study shows that stress increases alcohol consumption in female mice but not males, and microglial depletion reduces stress-induced drinking in females.

This study shows that HCN and Slack channels interact in PFC pyramidal neurons to regulate excitability and working memory through a complex that suppresses neuronal firing.
