TL;DR: It is shown that exosomes contain both mRNA and microRNA, which can be delivered to another cell, and can be functional in this new location, and it is proposed that this RNA is called “exosomal shuttle RNA” (esRNA).

TL;DR: The first direct observation of the transition from indirect to direct bandgap in monolayer samples is reported by using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on high-quality thin films of MoSe2 with variable thickness, grown by molecular beam epitaxy.

TL;DR: The primary structure of the poliovirus genome has been determined and Twelve viral polypeptides have been mapped by amino acid sequence analysis and were found to be proteolytic cleavage products of the polyprotein, cleavages occurring predominantly at Gln-Gly pairs.

TL;DR: It is shown that lipopolysaccharide from Gram-negative bacteria activates interleukin-5 (IL-5)- or interferon-γ–primed eosinophils to release mitochondrial DNA in a reactive oxygen species–dependent manner, but independent of eosInophil death, suggesting a previously undescribed mechanism of eOSinophil-mediated innate immune responses that might be crucial for maintaining the intestinal barrier function after inflammation-associated epithelial cell damage

TL;DR: The development of an eosinophil-less mouse now permits an unambiguous assessment of a number of human diseases that have been linked to this granulocyte, including allergic diseases, parasite infections, and tumorigenesis.
