Dietary protein from different sources escapes host digestion and is differentially modified by gut microbiota

The paper quantifies dietary protein digestion and microbial processing in mice, showing some proteins escape host digestion and are modified by gut microbiota, with health-relevant proteins differentially enriched.

Dietary protein source alters gut microbiota composition and function

This study shows that different dietary protein sources alter gut microbiota composition and function in mice, affecting amino acid and mucus degradation processes.

Large Quantities of Bacterial DNA and Protein in Common Dietary Protein Source Used in Microbiome Studies

This study identifies microbial DNA and protein in casein-based diets, showing they contribute to microbiome measurements and are absent in other protein sources.

Intracellular K+ limits T cell exhaustion and preserves antitumor function

This study shows that lowering intracellular K+ in T cells by disrupting Na+/K+ ATPase reduces T cell exhaustion and improves antitumor function by mitigating ROS accumulation.

Using Conspecific Playbacks to Investigate Contact Calling in Southeast Alaskan Humpback Whales

The paper uses acoustic playbacks to test if humpback whale whups function as contact calls, finding increased whup rates during playback but no approach responses.

Divergence in a stress-associated gene regulatory network underlies differential growth control in the Brassicaceae family

The study identifies conserved and divergent ABA gene regulatory networks across Brassicaceae species, revealing how network structure influences growth control under stress.

Single nucleus multi-omics regulatory atlas of the murine pituitary

The paper creates a single nucleus multi-omics atlas of the murine pituitary, revealing cell type-specific regulatory mechanisms and identifying a cis-regulatory region linked to fertility.

Microbe-dependent heterosis in maize

This study shows that maize heterosis for root biomass and germination depends on soil microbes, as inbred lines perform as well as F1 hybrids under sterile conditions but not when microbes are present.

Integrated Multi-omic Framework of the Plant Response to Jasmonic Acid

The paper develops an integrated multi-omic framework to study the plant response to jasmonic acid, identifying new regulatory components and crosstalk points with other signaling pathways.

Recurrent loss of heterozygosity correlates with clinical outcome in pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer

The paper identifies two distinct aneuploidy patterns in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) associated with poor and good clinical outcomes, respectively, and highlights MEN1 mutations as a significant driver.
