Heterologous mRNA vaccine boosters induce a stronger and longer-lasting antibody response against Omicron XBB variant

The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron recombinant XBB subvariant was first detected in September 2022, and rapidly spread across South-East Asia, notably overtaking BA.5 to become the dominant variant in Singapore.

A concerted increase in readthrough and intron retention drives transposon expression during aging and senescence

This study presents fundamental findings on the role of transcription readout and intron retention in transposon expression during aging in mammals. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is compelling, strongly supporting the authors' claims. The work will be of interest to scientists studying aging, transcription regulation, and epigenetics.
