OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the epidemiologic features of the confirmed cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in Pyeongtaek St. Mary’s Hospital, where the outbreak first began, in order to identify lessons relevant for the…
International students form an important element of most universities' internationalisation strategies, especially for research and the recruitment of high calibre PhD students (PGRs). Despite the numerous studies of PGRs' post-arrival experiences,…
Most cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) infection in Korea (outbreak: May 11-July 4, 2015) occurred in hospital settings, with uncertain transmission modes in some cases. We performed an in-depth investigation epidemiological survey on…

Abstract Background The identification of target molecules is important for understanding the mechanism of “target deconvolution” in phenotypic screening and “polypharmacology” of drugs. Because conventional methods of identifying targets require…
We remain largely without effective prophylactic/therapeutic interventions for COVID-19. Although many human COVID-19 clinical trials are ongoing, there remains a deficiency of supportive preclinical drug efficacy studies to help guide decisions.…
While vaccines protecting against SARS-CoV-2 infection are approved, currently, there are no drugs suitable for high-risk exposure use against SARS-CoV-2. Here, Rosenke et al. provide evidence that orally delivered MK-4482, a nucleoside analog,…
Coevolutionary theory has long predicted that the arms race between plants and herbivores is a major driver of host selection and diversification. At a local scale, plant defenses contribute significantly to the structure of herbivore assemblages and…
