The effects of cell-cell orientation in modeling the hallmarks of lung cancer in vitro

This study compares 3D tumoroid and 2D cultures of lung cancer cells to assess how cell-cell orientation affects cancer-related features and finds that 3D cultures better mimic primary human lung cancer.

Assembly processes inferred from eDNA surveys of a pond metacommunity are consistent with known species ecologies

The paper uses eDNA surveys to infer metacommunity assembly processes in ponds and finds environmental factors and species interactions shape community composition.

Systematic Nature Positive Markets

The paper argues that current biodiversity credit markets fail to prevent ecosystem loss and proposes defining credits by site irreplaceability to ensure effective and equitable conservation outcomes.

An association between the gut microbiota and immune cell dynamics in humans.

The paper identifies associations between gut bacteria and white blood cell dynamics in humans during recovery from hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Comparative primary paediatric nasal epithelial cell culture differentiation and RSV-induced cytopathogenesis following culture in two commercial media.

This study compares two commercial media for culturing primary nasal epithelial cells and evaluates their impact on cell morphology, physiology, and RSV infection outcomes.

Studying ecosystems with DNA metabarcoding: lessons from aquatic biomonitoring

The paper evaluates DNA metabarcoding's potential and challenges in ecological studies, focusing on its application in freshwater ecosystems and its implications for biodiversity monitoring.

Metabarcoding a Metacommunity: detecting change in a wetland wilderness

The paper uses DNA metabarcoding to detect ecological changes in a wetland, showing it captures more taxa and reveals stochastic community dynamics than traditional methods.
