ERBB signalling contributes to immune evasion in KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma

The paper investigates how ERBB signaling contributes to immune evasion in KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma using a novel mouse model and finds that transient ERBB blockade can restore immune surveillance when combined with PD1 blockade.

Integrative reappraisal of the Amazonian nurse frog Allobates gasconi (Morales 2002) based on topotypical data, with implications for the systematics and taxonomy of a large species complex

This paper redescribes the Amazonian nurse frog Allobates gasconi using topotypical specimens and integrates morphology and bioacoustic data to clarify its phylogenetic placement and taxonomy.

Effects of fire regime on the bird community in an Amazonian savanna

The paper examines how different fire regimes affect bird communities in an Amazonian savanna over 23 years, finding that regular fires are crucial for maintaining savanna bird species.

Proteome remodeling in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis PknG knockout: molecular evidence for the role of this kinase in cell envelope biogenesis and hypoxia response.

This study uses proteomics to show that PknG knockout in M. tuberculosis alters the proteome, affecting cell envelope biosynthesis and hypoxia response.

Validation and Comparison of a Modified CDC Assay with two Commercially Available Assays for the Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Respiratory Specimen

The paper validates a modified CDC SARS-CoV-2 assay and compares it with two commercial assays, finding 100% agreement and differences in throughput and time-to-result.

Aspirin-mediated DKK-1 increase rescues Wnt-driven stem-like phenotype in human intestinal organoids

The paper shows aspirin reduces Wnt-driven stem-like traits in intestinal organoids by increasing DKK-1, suggesting a mechanism for its anti-cancer effects.

RATIONAL DECISION ON THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS DURING THE DRY PERIOD IN DAIRY COWS

This study evaluates antibiotic use in dry dairy cows, finding that targeted treatment reduces antibiotic use and improves milk quality compared to blanket therapy.
