Climate Change‐Driven Heatwaves Pose Lethal Risks to Newborn Forest Bats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
This is the first recorded case of forest bat mortality in temperate regions caused by heatwaves. The study suggests that forest fragmentation exposes bats to lethal thermal peaks, highlighting a previously overlooked impact of climate change on these mammals and potential interactions with forest fragmentation.

Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1)/NPC1-like1 Chimeras Define Sequences Critical for NPC1’s Function as a Filovirus Entry Receptor [PDF]

, 2012
We recently demonstrated that Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1), a ubiquitous 13-pass cellular membrane protein involved in lysosomal cholesterol transport, is a critical entry receptor for filoviruses.

Process Intensification for Recombinant Marburg Virus Glycoprotein Production Using Drosophila S2 Cells

Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Marburg marburgvirus (MARV) is a highly virulent human pathogen with limited therapeutic options. Recombinant MARV glycoprotein (GP) produced in Drosophila Schneider 2 (S2) cells has been extensively investigated as potential vaccine antigen with promising efficacy demonstrated in nonhuman primate models.
