Pick one, but be quick : 5' splice sites and the problems of too many choices by Roca, Xavier, Krainer, Adrian R., Eperon, Ian C.

“…Splice site selection is fundamental to pre-mRNA splicing and the expansion of genomic coding potential. 5′ Splice sites (5′ss) are the critical elements at the 5′ end of introns and are extremely diverse, as thousands of different sequences act as bona fide 5′ss in the human transcriptome. …”

Unconventional split aptamers cleaved at functionally essential sites preserve biorecognition capability by Wang, Ruoyu, Zhang, Qiansen, Zhang, Yi, Shi, Hanchang, Nguyen, Kim Truc, Zhou, Xiaohong

“…However, only a limited number of SPAs have been developed so far because the traditional theory restricts the splitting to the functionally dispensable site that many parent aptamers do not possess. In this work, the traditional mechanism and hypothesis that SPAs can also be generated by splitting the parent aptamer at the functionally essential site while still preserving the biorecognition capability are challenged. …”

Vitrimer-like shape memory polymers : characterization and applications in reshaping and manufacturing by Wang, Tao Xi, Chen, Hong Mei, Salvekar, Abhijit Vijay, Lim, Junyi, Chen, Yahui, Xiao, Rui, Huang, Wei Min

“…Vitrimer, which is between thermoset and thermo-plastic, is featured by the reversible cross-linking. Vitrimer-like shape memory polymers (SMPs) combine the vitrimer-like behavior (associated with dissociative covalent adaptable networks) and SME, and can be utilized to achieve many novel functions that are difficult to be realized by conventional polymers. …”

Dok3 restrains neutrophil production of calprotectin during TLR4 sensing of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by Loh, Jia Tong, Teo, Joey Kay Hui, Lam, Kong-Peng

“…In this study, we showed that Dok3 adaptor restrains calprotectin production by neutrophils in response to SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein engagement of TLR4. Dok3 recruits SHP-2 to mediate the de-phosphorylation of MyD88 at Y257, thereby attenuating downstream JAK2-STAT3 signaling and calprotectin production. …”
