This study shows NMD limits TE-driven transcriptomic innovation by degrading TE-derived transcripts, affecting evolutionary novelty and cancer outcomes.

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 E protein induces LC3 lipidation through the V-ATPase-ATG16L1 axis, which supports viral replication rather than inhibiting it.

This study shows that cancer-specific activation of retroelements disrupts gene function and tumour-promoting genes, with clinical and experimental evidence supporting these effects.

The paper evaluates neutralising antibody titres against SARS-CoV-2 variant JN.1 using live-virus microneutralisation assays in vaccinated individuals, finding higher titres in monovalent vaccine recipients.

The paper identifies a novel ACE2 isoform, LTR16A1-ACE2, induced by interferon, which is non-functional and does not enhance SARS-CoV-2 infection.
