Exogenous mitochondrial transfer increases energy expenditure and attenuates adiposity gains in mice with diet-induced obesity

This study shows that transferring mitochondria from lean mice to obese mice increases energy expenditure, reduces adiposity, and improves metabolic health.

Effects of finfish farms on pelagic protist communities in a semi-closed stratified embayment

This study uses 18S rRNA sequencing to assess how finfish farms affect pelagic protist communities in a marine embayment, finding depth stratification has a stronger impact than aquaculture activity.

A novel camera trap design for studying wildlife in mountain glacier ecosystems yields new insight for glacier biodiversity in the Pacific Northwest, USA

This study tests a novel camera trap design for glacier ecosystems and documents wildlife and human activity in a mountain glacier in the Pacific Northwest.

BIN1 protein isoforms are differentially expressed in astrocytes, neurons, and microglia: neuronal and astrocyte BIN1 implicated in Tau pathology

The paper identifies BIN1 protein isoforms expressed in astrocytes, neurons, and microglia, finding that neuronal and astrocytic BIN1 containing exon 7 is associated with tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease.

Multi-plane Imaging of Neural Activity From the Mammalian Brain Using a Fast-switching Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator

The paper introduces a new two-photon microscope using a liquid crystal spatial light modulator to record neural activity in awake mice, finding heterogeneous responses in excitatory neurons across cortical layers.
