An antiphage defence system has an activation mechanism that relies on the sensing of phage-encoded proteins that enforce geometry crucial to activation and are not typically present in non-infected cells.
A specialized, open-source, retrieval-augmented language model is introduced for answering scientific queries and synthesizing literature, the responses of which are shown to be preferred by human evaluations over expert-written answers.
Improved technologies facilitate the detection of molecules linked to neurodegenerative brain changes at very low concentrations in the blood, complementing the clinical evaluation of suspected neurodegenerative disease.
