Feline APOBEC3s, Barriers to Cross-Species Transmission of FIV?

Viruses, 2018
The replication of lentiviruses highly depends on host cellular factors, which defines their species-specific tropism. Cellular restriction factors that can inhibit lentiviral replication were recently identified.

Constraining Exoplanet Mass from Transmission Spectroscopy [PDF]

, 2013
Determination of an exoplanet's mass is a key to understanding its basic properties, including its potential for supporting life. To date, mass constraints for exoplanets are predominantly based on radial velocity (RV) measurements, which are not suited ...

Bat and pangolin coronavirus spike glycoprotein structures provide insights into SARS-CoV-2 evolution

Nature Communications, 2021
The spike glycoprotein in coronaviruses is a key viral protein for cross-species transmission and infection. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of the spike ectodomains from bat and pangolin coronaviruses, compare them with the available ...

MOFs and COFs in Electronics: Bridging the Gap between Intrinsic Properties and Measured Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold promise for advanced electronics. However, discrepancies in reported electrical conductivities highlight the importance of measurement methodologies. This review explores intrinsic charge transport mechanisms and extrinsic factors influencing performance, and critically ...

An All‐Optical Driven Bio‐Photovoltaic Interface for Active Control of Live Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐photovoltaic Interface (BIO‐PV‐I) for live cell manipulation is presented. BIO‐PV‐I can be activated non‐invasively and remotely to control the spatial motility, adhesion, and morphology of cells adhering to it. BIO‐PV‐I uses a patterned light‐induced electric potential in iron‐doped lithium niobate crystals whose light‐driven and reversible nature,

Within-host transmission strategies of transovarial, feminizing parasites of Gammarus duebeni [PDF]

, 1998
The amphipod Gammarus duebeni harbours several species of vertically transmitted, feminizing microsporidian parasites. G. duebeni were collected from 3 localities in the UK. Animals from Budle Bay, Northumberland, were infected with Octosporea effeminans,
