Among the many questions unanswered for the COVID-19 pandemic are the origin of SARS-CoV-2
and the potential role of intermediate animal host(s) in the early animal-to-human …

This work describes the functional characterization, cDNA cloning, and expression of a novel
cell surface protein. This protein designated gClq-R, was first isolated from Raji cells and …

… Bertoletti designed the experiments; HE Clapham and LY Hsu conceived and contributed
to study design for the migrant workers study; WN Chia, BL Lim, LF. Wang, SH Lim, and WY …

Emerging severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern
pose a challenge to the effectiveness of current vaccines. A vaccine that could prevent …

The pentatricopeptide repeat ( PPR ) proteins form one of the largest protein families in land
plants. They are characterised by tandem 30–40 amino acid motifs that form an extended …

Bats are special in their ability to host emerging viruses. As the only flying mammal, bats endure
high metabolic rates yet exhibit elongated lifespans. It is currently unclear whether these …

Low phosphorus (P) availability is a major constraint to crop growth and production,
including soybean (Glycine max), on a global scale. However, 50% to 80% of the total P in …

Phytate, the most abundant organic phosphorus compound in soil, dominates the biotic
phosphorus input from terrestrial runoffs into aquatic systems. Microbial mineralization of phytate …

The aim of this work was the selection and comparison of representative infectious bursal
disease virus (IBDV) strains. Nine strains of IBDV, isolated at different times and from different …

Human gC1q‐R (p33, p32, C1qBP, TAP) is a ubiquitously expressed, multiligand‐binding,
multicompartmental cellular protein involved in various ligand‐mediated cellular responses. …
