Article Synopsis
  • Current COVID-19 vaccines effectively protect against severe illness but offer limited protection against infection itself.
  • The study shows that XBB.1.5 mRNA boosters enhance serum neutralizing antibodies against various SARS-CoV-2 variants but do not significantly improve mucosal immune responses.
  • This reveals a gap between systemic (peripheral) and mucosal immunity, suggesting the need for future vaccine developments aimed at boosting mucosal protection against respiratory viruses.

Article Synopsis
  • Lucid dreaming is when you know you're dreaming, and it can help with personal goals and studying how our minds work.
  • A method called Targeted Lucidity Reactivation (TLR) helps people become lucid dreamers by using sounds they learned before sleep, and it doesn't need fancy machines.
  • In experiments, people who used TLR had more lucid dreams and did better when they heard the same sounds they practiced with before going to sleep.

Computer simulations using ever-increasing computing power and machine learning techniques allow advanced molecular modelling, molecular dynamics simulations and studies of intermolecular interactions. However, due to the complexity of biological systems and chemical processes at the molecular level, their accurate representation using classical computer models and techniques has faced a number of significant limitations for many years. A new and promising direction for the development of computational science and its potential applications in biochemistry is quantum computing and its integration with classical high-performance supercomputing systems.

Research has identified neurocognitive and contextual risk factors of externalizing behaviors. However, fewer studies have examined the interaction among neurocognitive and other risk factors in predicting externalizing behaviors. The goal of the current study was to examine the relation between neurocognitive and contextual factors in predicting externalizing behaviors in a community sample of adolescents.

: Coordination in ice hockey skating has been minimally investigated, particularly in females. The objective was to compare lower-extremity inter-segment coordination of collegiate male and female ice hockey players during forward skating starts. : 3D kinematic data were collected on collegiate male ( = 9) and female ( = 10) participants during accelerative steps.
