Article Abstract
Neutralizing antibody responses gradually wane against several variants of concern (VOCs) after vaccination with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine messenger RNA-1273 (mRNA-1273). We evaluated the immune responses in nonhuman primates that received a primary vaccination series of mRNA-1273 and were boosted about 6 months later with either homologous mRNA-1273 or heterologous mRNA-1273.β, which encompasses the spike sequence of the B.1.351 Beta variant. After boost, animals had increased neutralizing antibody responses across all VOCs, which was sustained for at least 8 weeks after boost. Nine weeks after boost, animals were challenged with the SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant. Viral replication was low to undetectable in bronchoalveolar lavage and significantly reduced in nasal swabs in all boosted animals, suggesting that booster vaccinations may be required to sustain immunity and protection.

Carbapenemases, β-lactamases hydrolysing carbapenem antibiotics, challenge the treatment of multi-drug resistant bacteria. The OXA-48 carbapenemase is widely disseminated in , necessitating new treatments for producer strains. Diazabicyclooctane (DBO) inhibitors, including avibactam and nacubactam, act on a wide range of enzymes to overcome β-lactamase-mediated resistance.

Background And Aim: is a multidrug-resistant (MDR) zoonotic pathogen increasingly implicated in infections in both humans and animals, including avian species. Raptors, particularly peregrine falcons, are vulnerable due to their exposure to diverse environments and intensive management practices. This study aimed to identify isolates from peregrine falcons in Saudi Arabia and to characterize their genomic features, phylogenetic relationships, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles using whole-genome sequencing (WGS).

Young-onset monogenic disorders often show variable penetrance, yet the underlying causes remain poorly understood. Uncovering these influences could reveal new biological mechanisms and enhance risk prediction for monogenic diseases. Here we show that polygenic background substantially shapes the clinical presentation of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), a common monogenic form of diabetes that typically presents in adolescence or early adulthood.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is caused by inactivating variants of ALPL, the gene encoding tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). In order to deepen our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of HPP, we herein generated ALPL-knockout (KO) human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by applying CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene deletion to an iPS clone derived from a healthy subject. We analyzed two ALPL-KO clones, one ALPL-hetero KO clone, and a control clone isogenic except for ALPL.

Sulfonylureas are effective for NDM caused by KCNJ11 or ABCC8 mutations, which are among the most common genetic causes, therefore they are often given before genetic testing. Unfortunately, in certain ethnicities, this mutation rarely occurs.
