    Differences in the immune response elicited by two immunization schedules with an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in a randomized phase 3 clinical trial

    Nicolás MS Gálvez, Gaspar A Pacheco ... Alexis M Kalergis
    The humoral and cellular immune responses were evaluated for two immunization schedules for the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, CoronaVac, with two doses separated by 2 or 4 weeks, showing that these responses are mostly similar, with differences in neutralization capacities.

    Comprehensive machine-learning survival framework develops a consensus model in large-scale multicenter cohorts for pancreatic cancer

    Libo Wang, Zaoqu Liu ... Yu-ling Sun
    AIDPS derived by 76 machine-learning algorithm combinations in 13 independent multicenter cohorts exhibited superior capability than clinical traits and 86 published prognostic signatures and could serve as an ideal biomarker for stratified management and individualized treatment of pancreatic cancer.

    Combining transgenesis with paratransgenesis to fight malaria

    Wei Huang, Joel Vega-Rodriguez ... Marcelo Jacobs-Lorena
    The combination of mosquito transgenesis with paratransgenesis provides maximum parasite-blocking activity and has high potential for fighting malaria.

    Starting to have sexual intercourse is associated with increases in cervicovaginal immune mediators in young women: a prospective study and meta-analysis

    Sean M Hughes, Claire N Levy ... Alison C Roxby
    The immune system in the vagina becomes more active when young women begin to have sexual intercourse, and this immune activity could influence the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections.

    Continuous sensing of IFNα by hepatic endothelial cells shapes a vascular antimetastatic barrier

    Ngoc Lan Tran, Lorena Maria Ferreira ... Giovanni Sitia
    Continuous perioperative IFNα therapy stimulates hepatic endothelial cells to build up physical vascular barrier that limits tumor cell entry into the liver and promotes long-term antitumor immunity.

    Oxytocin signaling in the posterior hypothalamus prevents hyperphagic obesity in mice

    Kengo Inada, Kazoku Tsujimoto ... Kazunari Miyamichi
    Conditional knockout mice revealed that oxytocin secretion from the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus suppresses hyperphagic obesity partly via the oxytocin receptor expressed in the arcuate hypothalamic nucleus.

    How should COVID-19 vaccines be distributed between the Global North and South: a discrete choice experiment in six European countries

    Janina I Steinert, Henrike Sternberg ... Tim Büthe
    In a large discrete choice experiment, respondents from six European countries reveal preferences for global vaccine solidarity, where female, younger, more educated respondents are most likely to prioritise candidates from the Global South in their allocation choices for COVID-19 vaccines.

    Phosphoproteomic mapping reveals distinct signaling actions and activation of muscle protein synthesis by Isthmin-1

    Meng Zhao, Niels Banhos Danneskiold-Samsøe ... Katrin J Svensson
    The role of Isthmin-1 in muscle function is defined by using phosphoproteomics to identify distinct and overlapping signaling pathways between Isthmin-1 and insulin.

    Structure of the HOPS tethering complex, a lysosomal membrane fusion machinery

    Dmitry Shvarev, Jannis Schoppe ... Christian Ungermann
    The structure of the yeast HOPS tethering complex suggests how this large complex may catalyze fusion by tethering Rab-decorated membranes and promoting the assembly of SNAREs.
