    Excitatory and inhibitory D-serine binding to the NMDA receptor

    Remy A Yovanno, Tsung Han Chou ... Albert Y Lau
    Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that D-serine competes with glutamate for binding to the NMDA receptor, a finding supported by electrophysiology experiments with consequences for D-serine-focused therapeutic strategies for myriad neurological disorders.

    Novel fast pathogen diagnosis method for severe pneumonia patients in the intensive care unit: randomized clinical trial

    Yan Wang, Xiaohui Liang ... Wenkui Yu
    A novel species-specific detection method could obtain pathogenic bacteria information in 4 hr with high clinical sensitivity and specificity, which guided the faster antibiotic treatment in ICU and brought some clinical benefit in a real-world scenario.

    Descending neuron population dynamics during odor-evoked and spontaneous limb-dependent behaviors

    Florian Aymanns, Chin-Lin Chen, Pavan Ramdya
    In the fly, Drosophila melanogaster, the population activity of descending neurons (DNs) projecting from the brain to the motor system is predominantly correlated with locomotion with only a few DNs encoding grooming or olfactory signals in the absence of behavior.

    Anopheles homing suppression drive candidates exhibit unexpected performance differences in simulations with spatial structure

    Samuel E Champer, Isabel K Kim ... Jackson Champer
    Continuous space models indicate that current homing suppression drives may have difficulty eliminating wild mosquito populations, but building a successful drive may still be possible with current tools.

    Effectiveness of rapid SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing in supporting infection control for hospital-onset COVID-19 infection: Multicentre, prospective study

    Oliver Stirrup, James Blackstone ... Judith Breuer
    Sequencing of viral genomes could be useful for infection prevention and control within hospitals, but did not lead to a reduction in the rate of hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections over winter 2020/2021 in a large multicentre UK study.
