Tool and hand adaptation and localization in immersive virtual reality

This study shows that visuomotor adaptation in immersive VR leads to recalibration of both hand and tool position perception, demonstrating generalization beyond cursor-based tasks.

Fig4 confers tolerance to rapamycin in a Ste20-dependent manner independent of the Vac14 scaffold

The paper shows that Fig4 mutants in yeast confer rapamycin tolerance independently of Vac14 through Ste20-dependent mechanisms, suggesting Fig4 functions outside the Fab1-Vac14-Fig4 complex.

Reversion to sensitivity explains limited transmission of resistance in a hospital pathogen

The paper investigates how resistance in hospital pathogens reverts to sensitivity when antibiotic pressure is removed, finding that transmitted resistance loses less resistance than de novo resistance.

GpsB is an accessory Z-ring anchor

This paper identifies GpsB as an accessory Z-ring anchor in Bacillus subtilis and shows its interaction with FtsZ through a conserved R-X-X-R motif in several Firmicutes species.

Leveraging the genetic diversity of trout in the rivers of the British Isles and northern France to understand the movements of sea trout (Salmo trutta L.) around the English Channel

This study uses genetic markers to track movements of sea trout in the English Channel and southern North Sea, revealing both local and long-distance migration patterns.

Combining Top-Down and Bottom-Up: An Open Microfluidic Microtumor Model for Investigating Tumor Cell-ECM Interaction and Anti-Metastasis

The paper introduces an open microfluidic microtumor model combining top-down and bottom-up strategies to study tumor cell-ECM interactions and test anti-metastasis drugs.

Hypoxia coordinates the spatial landscape of myeloid cells within glioblastoma to affect outcome

The paper maps myeloid cell spatial organisation in glioblastoma and links it to patient survival.

Assessing Microbial Diversity in Soil Samples Along the Potomac River: Implications for Environmental Health

This study examines microbial diversity in Potomac River soil samples, identifying urbanization and pollution impacts on microbial communities.

Cementochronology using synchrotron radiation tomography to determine age at death and developmental rate in the holotype of Homo luzonensis

This study uses synchrotron radiation tomography to analyze cement lines in a Homo luzonensis tooth, estimating the individual's age at death as 31 years and comparing its developmental pattern to chimpanzees.

Defining Predictors of Successful Early Career to Independent Funding Conversion Among Surgeon-Scientists

This study identifies predictors of successful transition from K awards to independent funding among surgeon-scientists, finding that publication rate and time to funding are key factors.

Lung evolution in vertebrates and the water-to-land transition

This study investigates lung morphology in living lunged osteichthyans to determine the ancestral state of vertebrate lungs as unpaired, evolving to paired lungs in tetrapod lineages.

Transient RNA structures cause aberrant influenza virus replication and innate immune activation

The paper shows that transient RNA structures called template loops enhance innate immune activation by influenza A virus through stalling of the RNA polymerase.

Seasonal and long-term consequences of esca on grapevine stem xylem integrity

This study examines how esca disease affects xylem integrity in grapevines, showing that tyloses cause hydraulic failure in symptomatic shoots, but not in asymptomatic ones.

Comparison of alternative models of human movement and the spread of disease

The paper compares models of human movement and disease spread using measles data from England and Wales, finding that higher-order interaction models fit better than gravity models.

Stirred Suspension Bioreactor Culture of Porcine Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

This study shows that porcine induced pluripotent stem cells can be cultured in stirred suspension bioreactors while maintaining pluripotency and karyotypic stability.
