Genetic diversity and population structure of Ethiopian taro Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) as revealed by SSR markers

This study assesses genetic diversity and population structure of Ethiopian taro using SSR markers, finding low diversity at individual loci but high multilocus genotypic diversity and weak genetic differentiation among populations.

Invasion and spread of the neotropical leafhopper Curtara insularis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Africa and North America and the role of high-altitude windborne migration in invasive insects

This study investigates the invasion of Curtara insularis in Africa and North America, finding that high-altitude windborne dispersal plays a key role in its spread.

A Single-Short Partial Reprogramming of the Endothelial Cells decreases Blood Pressure via attenuation of EndMT in Hypertensive Mice

This study shows that reprogramming endothelial cells in hypertensive mice with OSK factors reduces blood pressure by inhibiting EndMT and vascular damage.

HIGH THROUGHPUT QUANTITATION OF HUMAN NEUTROPHIL RECRUITMENT AND FUNCTIONAL RESPONSES IN AN AIR-BLOOD BARRIER ARRAY

The paper develops a high-throughput assay to study neutrophil recruitment and function in an air-blood barrier array, showing improved throughput and sample efficiency compared to existing methods.

Algorithmic design of 3D wireframe RNA polyhedra

The paper introduces an algorithmic design process and software pipeline for creating 3D wireframe RNA polyhedra, validated through experimental characterization of three structures.

Pancreatic cancer ductal cell of origin drives CD73-dependent generation of immunosuppressive adenosine

This study identifies CD73 as a key driver of immunosuppression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, showing its role in adenosine generation and tumor progression.

Brominated Lipid Probes Expose Structural Asymmetries in Constricted Membranes

The paper uses brominated lipids and cryo-EM to reveal structural asymmetries in constricted membranes.

Treatment with a polyherbal extract improves fat metabolism, attenuates hepatic stellate cell activation and fibrogenesis.

This study shows that Liv.52, a polyherbal extract, improves fatty acid metabolism and reduces hepatic stellate cell activation and fibrogenesis in NASH models.

Machine Learning Identifies Complicated Sepsis Trajectory and Subsequent Mortality Based on 20 Genes in Peripheral Blood Immune Cells at 24 Hours post ICU admission

This paper identifies 20 genes predictive of sepsis complications and mortality using machine learning on gene expression data from ICU patients.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the human blood index of the major African malaria vectors

This study systematically reviews and meta-analyzes the human blood index (HBI) of major African malaria vectors, finding higher HBI in Anopheles gambiae and An. funestus compared to An. arabiensis, with location being a stronger predictor than species.

Assessing the blood-host plasticity and dispersal rate of the malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii

The paper introduces a method to assess blood-host plasticity and dispersal rate of Anopheles coluzzii using blood-meal source detection and molecular analysis.
