This paper designs an mRNA vaccine with fused SARS-CoV-2 RBDs from different variants to elicit cross-reactive antibodies without extensive somatic hypermutation.

This study shows that circRNA vaccine performance depends on RNA quality and epitranscriptomic modifications rather than innate immune activation.

This study determines the trimeric structures of FAM171A1 and FAM171A2 extracellular domains, revealing a novel structural superfamily and their oligomerization properties.

This study identifies LRRC37B as a human-specific gene that modulates neuronal excitability by interacting with voltage-gated sodium channels in cortical pyramidal neurons.
