This study shows HOT1 functions as a homodimer to maintain an ALT-permissive chromatin state at telomeres.

This study uses functional ultrasound imaging in marmosets to show that intra-call prosodic features influence large-scale cortical dynamics during vocal interactions.

This study identifies NRT2.2 as the primary nitrate transporter in Nannochloropsis oceanica and shows its critical role in nitrate uptake and carbon-nitrogen balance.

This study compares five methods for detecting the urobiome in urine samples, finding that shotgun metagenomic sequencing provides the broadest species-level view, while culture methods have specific strengths.

This study identifies Msp300 as a novel interactor of Atg8a in Drosophila, linking autophagy to nuclear architecture through the LINC complex.

This study shows that sub-anesthetic ketamine reduces dyskinesia caused by D2R-like receptor agonists but not D1R-like receptor agonists in L-DOPA-primed rats.

This study uses serial intravascular labeling to show dynamic changes in decidual NK cell residency and T-bet expression during pregnancy.

This study identifies DPYD's role in sleep regulation through glial lipid metabolism and myelination across species, linking genetic variants to oligodendrocyte-specific control.

This study shows that the 5-HT6 receptor in pancreatic beta cells, localized to cilia, enhances insulin secretion, highlighting ciliary localization as a key determinant of GPCR function.

This study shows that fentanyl increases locus coeruleus bursts and transient breathing elevations, with divergent respiratory responses after repeated opioid use.

This study shows that disrupting the amino acid stress response pathway reduces tumor growth in multiple aggressive cancers by targeting chronic metabolic stress adaptation.

This paper develops a forward-operator model to predict signal mixing in fMRI and shows that correcting for it improves coarse-resolution cortical mapping.

The paper shows that CO2-concentrating nanoparticles modify photosynthesis and cell wall structure in Arabidopsis cells over time.

This study compares somitogenesis across human, pig, sheep, and cow stem cell-derived embryo models, revealing species-specific WNT signaling and extracellular matrix requirements for axial segmentation.

The paper measures basal activity across the human GPCR family on a single scale and identifies key residues that influence constitutive signaling.

This study examines how antibiotics affect immune cell function by altering mitochondrial activity, showing antibiotic-specific immunomodulatory effects in humans and mice.

This study identifies heavy-metal-remediating bacteria in the gut microbiome of suckermouth catfish from the polluted Buriganga River, highlighting their potential for bioremediation.

The paper compares ranging and territoriality among African apes, finding that economic defendability does not fully explain interspecific variation in territorial behavior.

The paper shows that nociceptive signaling is essential for the brain to represent and replay inflammatory states using human fMRI and mouse activity mapping.
