Characterization of Chronic Hepatitis E Virus Infection in Immunocompetent Rabbits

Viruses, 2022
Chronic hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is frequently reported in immunocompromised patients, but has also been increasingly reported in non-immunocompromised individuals. We characterized the course of chronic HEV infection in immunocompetent rabbits.

Impulse lethal control and contraception control of seasonal breeding rodent [PDF]

, 2017
The rodent is one important component of an ecosystem; however, abundance of rodents may have negative effects to humans. Based on a seasonally breeding model and the logistic model, the effect of impulse lethal control and impulse contraception control ...

Molecular mechanisms of melatonin in mitigating compound salt stress in Sophora alopecuroides revealed by physiological and transcriptomic profiling

Plant Stress
Melatonin is a conserved multifunctional signaling molecule in plants, which regulates many developmental processes and responds to stress. Although many studies have involved melatonin in plants, it is not clear whether the application of exogenous ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Ecological responses of Orientallactaga sibirica: Variations in body size and trophic niche across changing habitats

Global Ecology and Conservation
In arid ecosystems, precipitation and temperature are two key factors, with altitude further shaping habitat conditions through its regulatory effects on temperature.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Soil Disturbance of Plateau Zokor (Eospalax baileyi) Promotes the Stability of Alpine Plant Communities

Plants
Alpine meadows on the Tibetan Plateau experience chronic, fine-scale disturbances from the plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi), a subterranean rodent that alters soil and vegetation structure through persistent burrowing and mounding. While classical theory

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...
