    Early analysis of the Australian COVID-19 epidemic

    David J Price, Freya M Shearer ... James M McCaw
    An analysis of Australian case data demonstrates how the combined strategy of border measures, case targeted interventions, and social distancing effectively contained the first epidemic wave of COVID-19.

    Irisin directly stimulates osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in vitro and in vivo

    Eben G Estell, Phuong T Le ... Clifford J Rosen
    The regulation of bone homeostasis by the exercise-induced myokine irisin is in part potentiated by a direct action on osteoclast differentiation and resorption.

    Rapid stimulus-driven modulation of slow ocular position drifts

    Tatiana Malevich, Antimo Buonocore, Ziad M Hafed
    Slow, continuous changes in eye position when gaze is fixed, previously believed to be random drifts, are shown to exhibit highly systematic and short-latency response characteristics to visual stimuli.

    Par protein localization during the early development of Mnemiopsis leidyi suggests different modes of epithelial organization in the metazoa

    Miguel Salinas-Saavedra, Mark Q Martindale
    Even though the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi develops polarized epithelial tissues, polarization is not mediated by the conserved mechanisms polarizing bilaterian and cnidarian epithelial cells.

    Stem cell regionalization during olfactory bulb neurogenesis depends on regulatory interactions between Vax1 and Pax6

    Nathalie Coré, Andrea Erni ... Harold Cremer
    Vax1 suppresses dopaminergic neuron phenotype by inhibiting Pax6 expression in the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricle and is necessary to generate Calbindin interneurons for the postnatal olfactory bulb.

    TBX3 acts as tissue-specific component of the Wnt/β-catenin transcriptional complex

    Dario Zimmerli, Costanza Borrelli ... Claudio Cantù
    The developmental transcription factor TBX3 co-operates with β-catenin co-factors to operate tissue-specific transcriptional outputs, during forelimb development and colorectal cancer progression.

    A large effective population size for established within-host influenza virus infection

    Casper K Lumby, Lei Zhao ... Christopher JR Illingworth
    Once an influenza infection is established, selection acts efficiently in favouring fitter viral genotypes, its effects being limited only by the short length of a typical infection.

    MARCH8 inhibits viral infection by two different mechanisms

    Yanzhao Zhang, Takuya Tada ... Kenzo Tokunaga
    The host transmembrane protein MARCH8, previously known as an expression regulator of host proteins, is a powerful antiviral host factor with a potentially broad antiviral spectrum through two different mechanisms.

    A mechanistic model and therapeutic interventions for COVID-19 involving a RAS-mediated bradykinin storm

    Michael R Garvin, Christiane Alvarez ... Daniel Jacobson
    Gene expression analysis reveals a novel, integrated molecular mechanism for much of the pathogenesis of COVID-19 that provides therapeutic intervention points that can be addressed with existing approved pharmaceuticals.

    Augmented curation of clinical notes from a massive EHR system reveals symptoms of impending COVID-19 diagnosis

    Tyler Wagner, FNU Shweta ... Venky Soundararajan
    Applying deep learning technology for the large-scale curation of symptoms from unstructured EHR clinical notes accurately predicts the differential signals of COVID-19 diagnosis over the week preceding typical PCR testing.
