   Immunocompetent mouse model for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus

   David W Hawman et al.

   A mouse-adapted strain of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus that recapitulates human disease in wild-type mice significantly improves our ability to study Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus pathogenesis.

   Amplitude modulations of cortical sensory responses in pulsatile evidence accumulation

   Sue Ann Koay et al.

   From as early as primary visual cortex and across posterior cortical areas, neural responses to visual pulses during an evidence-accumulation task exhibit a multitude of task-related amplitude modulations/gain changes.

   Bi-fated tendon-to-bone attachment cells are regulated by shared enhancers and KLF transcription factors

   Shiri Kult et al.

   The molecular identity of bi-fated tendon-to-bone attachment cells, which display a mixture of transcriptomes of two neighboring cell types, enables the formation of the unique transitional tissue of the enthesis.

   Modeling transfer of vaginal microbiota from mother to infant in early life

   Martin Steen Mortensen et al.

   Modeling weighted transfer ratios enable statistical analysis of maternal–infant transfer at a more general level and can indicate whether any transfer is persistent, transient, or originates from alternate sources.

   The orchestrated cellular and molecular responses of the kidney to endotoxin define a precise sepsis timeline

   Danielle Janosevic et al.

   Single-cell RNA-sequencing identifies the precise cellular and molecular events that occur along the sepsis timeline in the kidney, pointing to potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

    Evolutionary conflicts and adverse effects of antiviral factors

    Daniel Sauter, Frank Kirchhoff

    Innate antiviral factors do not always perfectly distinguish between self and foreign, and potential adverse effects of antiviral defense mechanisms for the host have been discussed.
