Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

This paper synthesizes research on biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline, highlighting gaps in geographic and taxonomic coverage and the need for improved data to support conservation efforts.

Lactate-carried Mitochondrial Energy Overflow

The paper investigates mitochondrial lactate metabolism, finding that mitochondria produce lactate as an overflow mechanism to regulate redox levels and conserve energy.

Exogenous stimulation of Tanacetum vulgare roots with pipecolic acid leads to tissue-specific responses in terpenoid composition

This study examines how pipecolic acid treatment affects terpenoid composition in different tissues of tansy plants, revealing tissue-specific responses and metabolic differentiation.

Bessel Beam Optical Coherence Microscopy Enables Multiscale Assessment of Cerebrovascular Network Morphology and Function

This study introduces Bessel beam optical coherence microscopy to assess cerebrovascular network morphology and function in mice at high resolution and across multiple scales.

Cancer associated fibroblast subtypes modulate the tumor-immune microenvironment and are associated with skin cancer malignancy

This study identifies three CAF subtypes in skin cancers and shows their association with tumor malignancy and immune modulation.

Spatial Signatures of Biological Soil Crusts and Community Level Self-Organization in Drylands

This study examines spatial patterns of biological soil crusts (BSCs) and their interactions with vascular plants in drylands, finding that light cyanobacterial BSCs vary in shape complexity with aridity, while dark-mixed BSCs are influenced by soil and plant factors.

Acoustic trapping and navigation of microrobots in the mouse brain vasculature

This paper demonstrates acoustic navigation of microrobots in the mouse brain vasculature, achieving upstream velocities of 1.5 m/s against blood flow.

VRK1 is a Paralog Synthetic Lethal Target in VRK2-methylated Glioblastoma

This study identifies VRK1 as a synthetic lethal target in VRK2-methylated glioblastoma by showing that VRK1 inhibition leads to tumor growth inhibition in xenograft models.

Genome-wide analysis of long terminal repeat retrotransposons from the cranberry Vaccinium macrocarpon

This study characterizes LTR retrotransposons in the cranberry genome, identifying their abundance, structure, and activity, and highlights potential markers for breeding.

Comparative repeat profiling of two closely related conifers (Larix decidua and Larix kaempferi) reveals high genome similarity with only one fast-evolving satellite DNA

The paper compares repeat profiles of two conifer species, finding high genome similarity with only one fast-evolving satellite DNA.

Broken, silent, and in hiding: Tamed endogenous pararetroviruses escape elimination from the genome of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris)

The paper characterizes endogenous pararetroviruses in sugar beet genomes, showing their structural diversity, epigenetic suppression, and chromosomal localization.

Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived vessels as dynamic atherosclerosis model on a chip

This study develops an in vitro atherosclerosis model using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived vessels, showing comparable immune and mechanical features to human lesions.

Respiratory and gut microbiota in commercial turkey flocks with disparate weight gain trajectories display differential compositional dynamics

This study compares respiratory and gut microbiota in two turkey flocks with different weight gain trajectories, finding that microbial composition changes over time and correlates with weight gain differences.

Emergence of a novel Salmonella enterica serotype Reading clone is linked to its expansion in commercial turkey production, resulting in unanticipated human illness in North America

This study identifies a novel Salmonella enterica serotype Reading clone linked to human outbreaks and commercial turkey production in North America through genomic analysis.

Satellite DNA landscapes after allotetraploidisation of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) reveal unique A and B subgenomes

This study analyzes satellite DNA landscapes in quinoa to trace satDNA evolution during allopolyploidization and identify potential parental species.

Forgot what you like? Evidence for hippocampal dependence of value-based decisions

The paper shows that hippocampal damage leads to inconsistent value-based decisions, suggesting a role for the medial temporal lobe in preference construction and decision consistency.
