From Bat to Worse: The Pivotal Role of Bats for Viral Zoonosis
Thanks to a dampened inflammatory innate immune response, various Chiropteran (bat) species frequently carry ‐ without showing symptoms – diverse viruses that can cause severe diseases in humans. The reasons why bats are a pivotal virus reservoir for emerging viral diseases are discussed in this Lilliput contribution.

Christian Bohr. Discoverer of Homotropic and Heterotopic Allostery
ABSTRACT This essay recounts and revisits the scientific contributions of Christian Bohr, highlighting his pivotal role in discovering allostery about 120 years ago. Bohr's meticulous experimentation led to identifying two distinct forms of allostery: homotropic (single‐ligand) and heterotropic (multi‐ligand), the latter widely recognized as the Bohr ...
