Chromosome-level genome assembly of autotetraploid Selenicereus megalanthus and gaining genomic insights into the evolution of trait patterning in diploid and polyploid pitaya species

Diet composition drives tissue-specific intensity of murine enteric infections

This study shows that diet composition affects tissue-specific susceptibility to enteric infections in mice, with fiber-rich diets increasing pathogen burden in some cases.

Wound healing and anti-inflammatory potential of Ajuga bracteosa-conjugated silver nanoparticles in Balb/c mice

This study evaluates the wound healing and anti-inflammatory effects of Ajuga bracteosa-conjugated silver nanoparticles in Balb/c mice, finding they promote wound contraction and reduce inflammation.

Introducing CELLBLOKS: a novel organ-on-a-chip platform allowing a plug-and-play approach towards building organotypic models

The paper introduces CELLBLOKS, a plug-and-play organ-on-a-chip platform that enables the creation of organotypic models, demonstrating its effectiveness in replicating liver function and detecting drug toxicity.

The role of Staphylococcus agnetis and Staphylococcus hyicus in the pathogenesis of buffalo fly skin lesions in cattle

This study identifies Staphylococcus agnetis and Staphylococcus hyicus as potential contributors to buffalo fly-induced skin lesions in cattle through bacterial isolation and genomic analysis.

Sensitization of FOLFOX-resistant colorectal cancer cells via the modulation of a novel pathway involving protein phosphatase 2A

This study identifies NSC49L as a PP2A agonist that sensitizes FOLFOX-resistant colorectal cancer cells to TRAIL by downregulating the AKT1/mTOR/4EBP1-axis and p21 translation.

SF3B1 mutant-induced missplicing of MAP3K7 causes anemia in myelodysplastic syndromes

This study identifies SF3B1 mutations causing anemia in MDS by inducing missplicing of MAP3K7, leading to reduced p38 MAPK activity and disrupted erythroid differentiation.
