Unlabelled: HKU5-CoV-2 is a new bat-infecting coronavirus phylogenetically related to MERS-CoV. It has recently been confirmed that HKU5-CoV-2 can enter human cells and organoids via the ACE2 receptor, raising concerns about its pandemic potential due to zoonotic spillover. Whether recombination has an influence on HKU5-CoV-2 infectivity or biological fitness is completely unclear to date.

Despite its capability to create much more realistic microenvironments for culturing of animal or human biological models, the spread of microfluidic tools in the world of biology and medicine has still not reached the predicted scale. Major obstacles to their widespread acceptance by end-users are manufacturing cost and operational complexity. 3D printing is a technology that is now widely democratised, thanks to its ease of use and very attractive cost/performance ratio.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are responsible for colorectal cancer (CRC) chemoresistance, recurrence, and metastasis. Therefore, identifying molecular stemness targets that are involved in tumor growth is crucial for effective treatment. Here, we performed an extensive in vitro and in vivo molecular and functional characterization, revealing the pivotal role of the lysine methyltransferase SET and MYND Domain Containing 3 (SMYD3) in colorectal cancer stem cell (CRC-SC) biology.
