CD103+ Dendritic Cell - Fibroblast Crosstalk via TLR9 and AHR Signaling Drives Lung Fibrogenesis

This study identifies CD103+ dendritic cell-fibroblast crosstalk via TLR9 and AHR signaling as a driver of lung fibrosis in IPF, showing that inhibiting AHR signaling reduces fibrosis.

Palaeogenomic analysis of black rat (Rattus rattus) reveals multiple European introductions associated with human economic history

This study uses ancient DNA to trace the introduction and population history of black rats in Europe, linking genetic changes to historical events like the Roman Empire's decline and the Plague Pandemic.

Persistence and expansion of cryptic endangered red wolf genomic ancestry along the American Gulf coast

The paper identifies a geographic and genomic gradient of cryptic red wolf ancestry in coyotes, showing increased ancestry along an east-to-west gradient in the southern U.S.

Synchronous diversification of Sulawesi’s iconic artiodactyls driven by recent geological events

The paper tests the hypothesis that recent geological events on Sulawesi drove the synchronous diversification of its endemic artiodactyls, finding that species expanded from a central area that emerged above sea level ~1-2 Myr ago.
