Cleavage region organizes the structural architecture of the B2 SINE ribozyme

The paper determines the structural ensemble-to-function relations of the B2 SINE ribozyme using RNA chemical probing, X-ray scattering, and modeling, showing cleavage site dependency on its structure and function.

Elevated prevalence of the global panzootic chytrid strain in 1 Ecuadorian anurans of the Amazonian lowlands

The paper investigates Bd infection prevalence in Ecuadorian Amazonian anurans, finding 58% overall infection rate and significant negative association between host weight and infection proportion.

Mapping the unicellular transcriptome of the ascending thoracic aorta to changes in mechanosensing and mechanoadaptation during aging

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze aging-related changes in the ascending thoracic aorta, revealing mechanosensing and mechanoadaptation alterations linked to immune and vascular changes.

Biophysical and functional characterization of K+-Cl- co-transporters from Drosophila melanogaster and Hydra vulgaris

This study characterizes the biophysical and functional properties of K+-Cl- co-transporters from Drosophila melanogaster and Hydra vulgaris using purification and assay techniques.

Wiring multiple microenvironment proteomes uncovers the biology in head and neck cancer

The paper analyzes proteomes from multiple sites in head and neck cancer patients to identify metastasis-associated biomarkers and signatures in blood and saliva.

Protomer alignment modulates specificity of RNA substrate recognition by Ire1

The paper shows that changing two amino acids in S. cerevisiae Ire1 to their S. pombe counterparts makes it promiscuous, revealing that protomer alignment modulates RNA substrate specificity.

A framework for studying behavioral evolution by reconstructing ancestral repertoires

This paper introduces a framework to study behavioral evolution by estimating ancestral behavioral repertoires using computational methods and behavioral data from fruit flies.
