Article Synopsis
  • In June 2019, a patient in Inner Mongolia developed severe symptoms after a tick bite, leading to the discovery of a new virus named Wetland virus (WELV) through advanced genetic testing.
  • Active surveillance identified 17 cases of WELV infection across multiple regions in China, with patients exhibiting a range of nonspecific symptoms and laboratory abnormalities.
  • WELV was isolated from various ticks and animals, and studies showed that it can cause serious illness in mice, indicating a potential tick vector for the virus.

The manipulation of cell surface receptors' activity will open a new frontier for drug development and disease treatment. However, limited by the desensitization of drugs, effective physical intervention strategy remains challenging. Here, the controllable internalization of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) on neural cells by local piezoelectric field is reported.

Article Synopsis
  • Therapeutic HPV vaccines are needed to induce strong cellular immunity and treat existing infections but face challenges, particularly with current delivery methods like electroporation (EP), which can cause pain and muscle damage.
  • DNA-based HPV vaccines appear promising with good safety and efficacy, but EP's complexity and cost limit their clinical use.
  • In preclinical tests, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) significantly improved the immune response from DNA vaccines compared to EP, with SM-102 LNP M showing the best results, suggesting LNPs could offer a better delivery method.

Prolonged activation of the type I interferon (IFN-I) pathway leads to autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Metabolic regulation of cytokine signaling is critical for cellular homeostasis. Through metabolomics analyses of IFN-β-activated macrophages and an IFN-stimulated-response-element reporter screening, we identified spermine as a metabolite brake for Janus kinase (JAK) signaling.

Background Although favorable outcomes have been reported with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), the long-term efficacy remains insufficiently investigated. Purpose To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of US-guided percutaneous RFA in patients with SHPT undergoing dialysis and to identify possible predictors associated with treatment failure. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included consecutive patients with SHPT with at least one enlarged parathyroid gland accessible for RFA who were undergoing dialysis at seven tertiary centers from May 2013 to July 2022.

Efforts to develop high-performance electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are of utmost importance in ensuring sustainable hydrogen production. The controllable fabrication of inexpensive, durable, and high-efficient HER catalysts still remains a great challenge. Herein, we introduce a universal strategy aiming to achieve rapid synthesis of highly active hydrogen evolution catalysts using a controllable hydrogen insertion method and solvothermal process.

Importance: The study highlights the potential of large language models, specifically GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, in processing complex clinical data and extracting meaningful information with minimal training data. By developing and refining prompt-based strategies, we can significantly enhance the models' performance, making them viable tools for clinical NER tasks and possibly reducing the reliance on extensive annotated datasets.

We have used the OH laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) method to measure the kinetics of the simplest Criegee intermediate (CHOO) reacting with two abundant amines in the atmosphere: dimethylamine ((CH)NH) and trimethylamine ((CH)N). Our experiments were conducted under pseudo-first-order approximation conditions. The rate coefficients we report are (2.

We present the first measurements of the electric and magnetic form factors of the neutron in the timelike (positive q^{2}) region as function of four-momentum transfer. We explored the differential cross sections of the reaction e^{+}e^{-}→n[over ¯]n with data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII accelerator, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 354.6  pb^{-1} in total at twelve center-of-mass energies between sqrt[s]=2.

While asymmetric insertion of metal carbenes into H-X (X = C, N, O, ) bonds has been well-established, asymmetric control over free carbenes is challenging due to the presence of strong background reactions and lack of any anchor for a catalyst interaction. Here we have achieved the first photo-induced metal-free asymmetric H-X bond insertion of this type. With visible light used as a promoter and a chiral phosphoric acid used as a catalyst, α-diazoesters and aryl amines underwent smooth N-H bond insertion to form enantioenriched α-aminoesters with high efficiency and good enantioselectivity under mild conditions.

  • A randomized, double-blind, phase 2 trial assessed the safety and effectiveness of a new vaccine, NVSI-06-09, as a booster for UAE adults previously vaccinated with BBIBP-CorV.
  • * The trial involved 516 participants who received either NVSI-06-09 or continued with BBIBP-CorV, showing a similar low incidence of mild adverse reactions in both groups.
  • * Results indicated that NVSI-06-09 produced significantly higher neutralizing antibody levels against various SARS-CoV-2 variants, including significantly better responses against Omicron strains compared to BBIBP-CorV.

Type II ganoderic acids (GAs) produced by the traditional medicinal mushroom Ganoderma are a group of triterpenoids with superior biological activities. However, challenges in the genetic manipulation of the native producer, low level of accumulation in the farmed mushroom, the vulnerabilities of the farming-based supply chain, and the elusive biosynthetic pathway have hindered the efficient production of type II GAs. Here, we assemble the genome of type II GAs accumulating G.

The emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, commonly with many mutations in S1 subunit of spike (S) protein are weakening the efficacy of the current vaccines and antibody therapeutics. This calls for the variant-proof SARS-CoV-2 vaccines targeting the more conserved regions in S protein. Here, we designed a recombinant subunit vaccine, HR121, targeting the conserved HR1 domain in S2 subunit of S protein.

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) plays a pivotal role in lipid including cholesterol metabolism. The APOE ε4 (APOE4) allele is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases. Although APOE has recently been associated with increased susceptibility to infections of several viruses, whether and how APOE and its isoforms affect SARS-CoV-2 infection remains unclear.

  • - Upland rice is a special type of rice that grows in dry conditions and can withstand drought, but the genes responsible for this drought resistance were previously unknown.
  • - Researchers discovered a gene called DROUGHT1 (DROT1), which helps enhance drought resistance by modifying cell wall properties, and identified its regulation by specific drought-responsive factors.
  • - A particular genetic variation in DROT1 boosts its expression and drought resistance in upland rice, suggesting that using this elite haplotype from wild rice could support better breeding practices for upland rice.

Background: Macrophages play important roles in renal fibrosis, partially by sensing mechanical forces, including shear stress and increased stiffness. The mechanically activated cationic channel Piezo1 drives vascular formation and blood pressure regulation to inflammatory responses, or cancer, but its role in macrophages in fibrotic kidney is elusive. Here, we hypothesized that Piezo1 in macrophages may have functions in renal fibrosis.

  • Platinum-based chemotherapy, specifically toripalimab combined with paclitaxel and cisplatin, was tested against a placebo in a phase 3 trial for patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
  • The results showed that those treated with toripalimab experienced significantly better progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to the placebo group.
  • Both treatment groups had similar rates of serious side effects, indicating that the toripalimab plus chemotherapy regimen is effective and has a manageable safety profile.
