  RNA N6-methyladenosine modification-based biomarkers for absorbed ionizing radiation dose estimation

  Radiation dosimetry are critical for the medical management of individuals exposed to ionizing radiation (IR). Here, authors show that the RNA m6A levels of Ncoa4, Ate1 and Fgf22 genes in peripheral blood cells could serve as dosimetry of IR exposure.

  Induction of lysosomal exocytosis and biogenesis via TRPML1 activation for the treatment of uranium-induced nephrotoxicity

  The roles of lysosomes in uranium (U) decorporation and detoxification remain to be elucidated. Here, the authors demonstrate that TRPML1 activation is an attractive therapeutic strategy to induce lysosomal exocytosis and biogenesis for the treatment of U-induced nephrotoxicity.

  SARS-CoV-2 exposure, symptoms and seroprevalence in healthcare workers in Sweden

  Healthcare workers may be at higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection than the general population. Here, the authors report 19% seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among 2,149 employees in a Swedish hospital. Seroprevalence was associated with patient contact and higher than the seroprevalence in the community in same time period.
