Evidence for the Existence of a Bacterial Etiology for Alzheimers Disease and for a Temporal-Spatial Development of a Pathogenic Microbiome in the Brain

The paper identifies bacterial communities in Alzheimer's Disease and control brains, finding a complex microbiome dynamics associated with AD pathogenesis.

Mechanically induced nuclear shuttling of β-catenin requires co-transfer of actin

This study shows dynamic mechanical strain induces nuclear translocation of β-catenin via actin transport, while static strain promotes YAP1 nuclear entry, highlighting distinct mechanoresponses.

Secretome of senescent hepatoma cells modulate macrophage polarization and neutrophil extracellular traps formation

This study shows that senescent hepatoma cells secrete factors that promote M2 macrophage polarization and neutrophil extracellular trap formation, contributing to a tumor-promoting microenvironment.

Lamin A/C functions independently from mechanical signaling during adipogenesis

This study shows that Lamin A/C is essential for adipogenesis but not required for mechanical signaling during MSC differentiation.

Inter-specific Variability in Demographic Processes Affects Abundance-Occupancy Relationships

The paper tests the vital rates mechanism for abundance-occupancy relationships using mark-recapture data from 17 bird species, finding weak positive correlations and variability in density dependence across species.

Estimating fecundity and density dependence from mark-recapture data for making population projections

This paper introduces a Bayesian framework to estimate fecundity and density dependence from mark-recapture data, improving population projections by reducing population extinctions and explosions.

Empirical Analyses of Associations between State Political Attitudes and Gains in Health Insurance Coverage after the Affordable Care Act (ACA)

This study examines the relationship between state political attitudes and health insurance gains after the ACA, finding higher insurance gains in states with higher anti-Obama voting despite fewer Medicaid expansions.
