BOAS is a platform for building multivalent viral protein immunogens without a scaffold, such as a nanoparticle, to elicit broad influenza vaccine responses.
Mouse embryo cells undergo apical-basal polarization asynchronously at the 8-cell stage, and the timing of polarization influences subsequent lineage allocation.

In vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies reveal that hepatocytes are significantly infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which rewires the host cell metabolism to upregulate the lipid biosynthetic pathways.
Holographic neuronal stimulation shows that auditory cortex neurons with shared functional properties rapidly adjust their responses during sensory processing, revealing a circuit-level mechanism that regulates overall network activity balance.

Children show less robust memory retention overnight and after 2 weeks, with memories transforming more rapidly from detailed to gist-like neural representations, revealing less stable consolidation mechanisms than in adults.
Quantitative Drosophila pupal wing experiments support planar polarity depending on cell-scale signalling that does not involve depletion of a limited pool of core proteins or polarised transport on microtubules.

Amino acids that were abundant since the prebiotic era are enriched in protein binding sites of the most ancient coenzymes, supporting the plausibility of an early coenzyme–peptide world.
