This study tests if brief peppermint or clove odor exposure improves immediate visual object recall, finding peppermint enhances recall more than no odor.

The paper identifies endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) as an entry receptor for Langya and related parahenipaviruses and describes the structural basis of this interaction.

This paper introduces a new manufacturing method for infusible extracellular matrix (iECM) using depth filtration and tangential flow filtration (DF-TFF) to improve production efficiency, concentration, and compliance with cGMP standards.

This study surveys microbial plankton in southern Hudson Bay and James Bay using environmental DNA, revealing distinct communities shaped by salinity and environmental factors.

This study evaluates an mRNA vaccine encoding CagW, a component of H. pylori's type IV secretion system, showing it protects mice against bacterial challenge.

This study identifies XRN1 as a key regulator of HDV infection, showing it controls viral replication through dsRNA homeostasis and innate immune activation.

This study examines how predator-associated chemosignals influence risk assessment behaviors and vomeronasal neuron activity in mice, revealing distinct spatiotemporal patterns and neural responses to different predator cues.

This study identifies Gαq as a regulator of mitochondria-lysosome contact dynamics, showing its role in mitochondrial fragmentation and quality control through interactions with Fis1 and RabGAPs.

This study proposes a computational model explaining length-dependent protein synthesis during synaptic plasticity, showing it results from a shift in ribosomal regulation mechanisms.

This study shows that combining APR-246 and Novobiocin synergistically kills TP53-mutant AML cells through p53-dependent and -independent mechanisms, with low toxicity.

The paper reports on the All of Us multi-omics cohort, identifying 182,246 QTLs and demonstrating rare variant effects across proteomic and transcriptomic data.

This paper uses Bayesian causal forests to estimate the causal effect of nitrogen levels on maize traits, finding that environmental factors largely drive trait variation while genomic background influences baseline levels.

In a mouse branch retinal vein occlusion model, retinal ganglion cells die progressively over 14 days. α-RGCs and F-RGCs are lost fastest, and TBR2-positive intrinsically photosensitive RGCs survive best.

The paper analyzes fMRI data to show that infection-related images reduce cortical edge metastability, with significant results surviving multiple corrections.

This study analyzes genetic variation in older Lebanese adults to distinguish reference sampling biases from true allele frequency differences and genotype expectations.

This study compares CD8+ T cell and antibody responses in non-human primates using different ratios of modified and unmodified mRNA-LNP vaccines with IL-12 boosting.

The paper examines how proximity to tangle-bearing neurons affects transcriptional states in human entorhinal cortex cells, finding that nearby neurons and glia show distinct molecular signatures related to disease.

The paper develops PhageScan to study human antibody responses to bacteriophages, finding widespread IgG reactivity and identifying immunogenic epitopes.

Hypo-fractionated FLASH and conventional radiotherapy (3x10 Gy) each ablated orthotopic human medulloblastoma in nude mice; FLASH evoked distinct microglial and hippocampal transcriptional programs and less neuroinflammation.

This paper introduces ramped phase randomization to improve cryo-EM map comparison and data augmentation by reducing fine-scale detail while preserving low-frequency content and enhancing machine learning performance.
