Nature Communications, Published online: 20 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-47743-1Repeat vaccination with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines has been shown to increase breadth of the antibody response. Here the authors demonstrate that B cell clones induced by the ancestral COVID-19 vaccine develop into daughter clones with different reactivity to individual...

Nature Communications, Published online: 19 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-47274-9Persistent millennial Asian winter monsoon variability is shown to be superposed on orbital 41-kyr and 100-kyr cycles across the Pliocene–Pleistocene glacial intensification using a paleomagnetically dated high-resolution Chinese Loess Plateau grain size record.

Nature Communications, Published online: 18 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-47679-6Xenotransplantation is an imminent clinical reality but concerns remain around the logistics of procurement and the experimental immunosuppression regimens required to achieve long-term xenograft survival. Here the authors show more than 6 month survival of genetically...

Nature Communications, Published online: 18 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-47698-3How animals sense and properly avoid predators remains incompletely understood. Here, Jiang et al. show that the B cell co-receptor, CD20 also functions as an olfactory receptor and mediates the innate avoidance of predator derived odors.

Nature Communications, Published online: 18 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-47731-5Developing facile and direct synthesis routes for enantioselective construction of cyclic π-conjugated molecules is crucial but the chirality orginiating from the distorted structure around heptagon-containing polyarenes is largely overlooked. Herein the authors present...

Nature Communications, Published online: 18 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-47161-3Arboviral infections are major public health threats, with 100 million people estimated to get sick annually from dengue infection alone. Globally, the risk of arboviruses is likely to further increase both within, and outside of, affected regions due to a combination...
