The paper examines microbial communities of invasive and native Drosophila species in French Guiana, identifying candidate taxa linked to host adaptation and competitiveness.

This study shows that ARNT's role in breast cancer growth changes with tumor architecture, with CPE mediating spheroid expansion in luminal breast cancer.

This study shows that traumatic brain injury in mice disrupts and remodels excitatory synapse populations across multiple brain regions, similar to other plasticity-inducing conditions.

The paper investigates whether AD-like pathology affects thalamic projections to the retrosplenial cortex in hAPP-J20 mice, finding no impairment in synaptic strength or c-Fos expression.

This study examines how combined climate change and arsenic pollution affect rice grain micronutrient and toxin levels, finding increased cadmium with minimal impact on iron and zinc.

The paper develops a morphological identification protocol for large Southeast Asian ruminants using machine learning to classify postcranial remains across taxonomic ranks.

This paper uses HiP-CT to image the human spine at high resolution, revealing multiscale anatomy and microstructural features without exogenous contrast.

The paper identifies RvPeti, a novel metalloprotease from a tardigrade, through structural and biochemical analysis, revealing its Zn2+-dependent proteolytic activity.

The paper shows that eye motion compensates for cone loss in vision, maintaining acuity even with significant cone cell reduction.

The paper challenges the hypothesis of multiple freshwater invasions in otophysan fish by showing that a single invasion is more likely, based on phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses.

The paper shows introgression from black kites into red kites increased genetic diversity and reduced genetic load in northern red kites by 18%.

This study shows fungal volatiles promote lateral root formation and enhance plant tolerance to osmotic stress by modulating auxin signaling and nutrient transport.

The paper demonstrates that a fixed neural wiring diagram in Drosophila can store and retrieve memories through neuronal adaptation, dependent on specific brain states.

This study shows that vertical sleeve gastrectomy reduces 11βHSD1 and IL6 in mice and humans, linking glucocorticoid metabolism to improved glucose homeostasis and reduced inflammation.

CellMethMarker provides a database of DNA methylation markers specific to human cell and tissue types, improving deconvolution accuracy in single-cell methylomes.

This study identifies crown structure and growth characteristics as key predictors of maple syrup yield, explaining up to 47% of inter-individual variability in syrup production.

This study transplants gut microbiota from Indigenous Yanomami and urban donors into mice to show Yanomami microbiota protects against diet-induced metabolic dysfunction.

This paper evaluates cross-slice protein imputation methods, finding that learning-based approaches outperform alignment-based ones for imputation, while alignment-based methods are better for interpolation and 3D reconstruction.

The paper shows weak climate-bloom relationships in a temperate shelf sea due to ecological filtering and biological constraints on nutrient-to-biomass translation.

This paper shows that adjusting Activin A levels in a 3D bioreactor system can generate liver-like structures from human stem cells, mimicking early liver development.
