This study compares reticulospinal contributions to limb-trunk coordination during arm curls between strength-trained and untrained individuals, finding tighter coordination and reduced EMG onset latency in trained individuals.

This study improves acetate tolerance in Pseudomonas putida through adaptive laboratory evolution and identifies gacA and fabB as key targets for efficient acetate assimilation.

This study shows IL-27 promotes cardiac inflammation, fibrosis, and heart failure in mice by modulating immune and non-immune cells, suggesting it as a therapeutic target.

This study investigates allosteric regulation mechanisms in AAA+ ATPases using katanin and ClpB, revealing similar and specific mechanisms through simulations and machine learning.

This study identifies tissue-specific NLR expression patterns across legume species using phylogenomics and transcriptomics.

This paper develops an immuno-epidemiological model of FMD in African buffalo, showing that carrier phase immune kinetics and susceptible recruitment rates significantly influence disease persistence.

The paper tracks lineage evolution and transmission of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron across hosts and ecological scales using genomic barcoding and whole-genome sequencing.

The paper identifies SamI as a cytosolic SPFH protein that couples membrane stress to differentiation in Bacillus subtilis by stabilizing a membrane complex involved in stress signaling and biofilm formation.

This study uses lipid hydrogen stable isotope probing to estimate archaeal generation times in hot spring sediments, finding decadal-scale rates in Yellowstone and slower rates in El Tatio.

This study investigates how site-specific O-glycans on lacritin influence its structure and multimerization, revealing their role in conformational flexibility and crosslinking residue positioning.

This study shows that somatic DNA-repeat expansions in cortical and striatal neurons of Huntington's disease initiate similar pathological changes, but lead to distinct gene expression outcomes.

The paper re-annotates and characterizes the DGF-1 gene family in T. cruzi, revealing its modular structure and evolutionary history across trypanosomatids.

This study examines how mechanical injury alters metabolism in bovine and human chondrocytes, revealing differences in oxygen consumption and glutamine accumulation between healthy and osteoarthritic cells.

The paper links entorhinal cortex-tentorial proximity to tau burden and dementia progression using multimodal imaging data from ADNI.

The paper identifies new drug targets in Plasmodium falciparum using thermal proteome profiling combined with molecular docking and MS-CETSA.

This study modifies a computational model to simulate microbial growth in microgravity, finding that reduced gravity-driven flow decreases growth while lack of sedimentation increases it.

The paper updates clade designations for H5N1 avian influenza viruses based on phylogenetic analysis of HA gene sequences from multiple regions.

This study shows that online anodal tDCS of the left PPC improves tactile working memory accuracy over time, with larger benefits for lower baseline performers.

This study introduces an individual self-administration assay in zebrafish to model ethanol abuse and study its behavioral and neurobiological effects.
