Study on the ecology of viruses in urban rodents with special emphasis on SARS-CoV-2

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated whether commensal rodent pests such as rats and mice, sourced from sewers and urban settings, are exposed to and are infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). They also investigated viruses present in commensal rodents.

Comprehensive atlas of protein kinases could help scientists decipher many cellular signaling pathways

One of the most important classes of human enzymes are protein kinases - signaling molecules that regulate nearly all cellular activities, including growth, cell division, and metabolism.

The 2022 U.S. RSV surge consisted of a variety of pre-existing viruses

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated whether the upsurge in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections during the autumn season of 2022 occurred due to the emergence of a novel, highly transmissible RSV strain or whether multiple pre-existing RSV strains were responsible for the increase in RSV case counts during the period.

Reshaping the gut microbiome could be a possible way to prevent or treat neurodegeneration

A growing pile of evidence indicates that the tens of trillions of microbes that normally live in our intestines - the so-called gut microbiome - have far-reaching effects on how our bodies function.

Study reveals why older male fruit flies are more likely to pass mutations onto their offspring

The male reproductive system serves as a hotspot for the emergence of new genes. Perhaps that explains why more new mutations are inherited from fathers than from mothers.

Genomic analysis of mpox virus genomes reveal multiple lineages with human-to-human transmissibility

Researchers from Nigeria and the United Kingdom (U.K.) analyzed mpox virus genomes and found that divergent lineages of the mpox virus exhibiting human-to-human transmission existed in the Nigerian population before the 2022 spread of the virus outside of the endemic regions.

Deletions in the antigenic regions in SARS-CoV-2 increase transmission and immune evasion ability

A recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports examined the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) whole genome data to determine the deletion mutations around the spike protein region associated with increased transmission of the virus and identified an increase in the deletion-prone spike protein regions indicating an evolution strategy for immune escape.
