Ants act as olfactory bio-detectors of tumour in patient-derived xenograft mice

This study shows ants can be trained to detect tumour-specific VOCs in mice urine, indicating their potential as cancer bio-detectors.

Within and among population differences in cuticular hydrocarbons in the seabird tick Ixodes uriae.

The paper examines cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) variation in seabird ticks Ixodes uriae across different host populations, finding distinct CHC profiles associated with host species.

Discrimination of non-nestmate early brood in ants: behavioural and chemical analyses

The paper investigates chemical and behavioral discrimination of non-nestmate early brood in ants, finding species-specific cues and limited discrimination against heterospecific brood.

Epidermal stem cell compartment remains unaffected through aging in naked mole-rats.

This study shows that epidermal stem cell compartments and differentiation processes remain unchanged in naked mole-rats during aging, correlating with preserved skin healing.

Climate influences the response of community functional traits to local conditions

The paper quantifies how climate and local conditions influence functional trait composition in bromeliad invertebrate communities, finding climate explains more variation than local conditions.

Targeting MOG to skin macrophages prevents EAE in macaques through TGFβ-induced peripheral tolerance

This paper shows that targeting MOG to skin macrophages via a fusion protein prevents EAE in macaques by inducing TGFβ-mediated peripheral tolerance.
