This paper introduces PlantU-net, an end-to-end segmentation network for maize seedling phenotyping from top-view images, achieving high accuracy with minimal training data.

This study shows that silencing LdCPR in Colorado potato beetles increases imidacloprid susceptibility, reduces fecundity, and causes embryonic lethality.

This study examines how smart glass affects stomatal sensitivity in Capsicum plants by altering light conditions, finding that light intensity is more critical than spectral quality for stomatal responses.

Virus-antibody coevolution in rhesus macaques recapitulates developmental features of human antibodies.

This paper shows HCMV drives WDR5 to the virion assembly compartment to facilitate virion assembly, expanding its role beyond nuclear egress.

This study identifies potent human neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 from convalescent patients, with some showing high efficacy in blocking viral entry.

This paper develops a rapid, low-cost method to detect and quantify SARS-CoV-2 virus particles using nanoplasmonic sensors in microplate readers and smartphone devices.

This study uses molecular simulations to predict the structure of AtROP11 and AtABI1 complex and identifies key residues for their interaction, revealing the mechanism of ABA signaling regulation.

This study investigates how syndecan-1 mechanical tension responds to substrate stiffness and fluidic shear stress in endothelial cells.

The paper identifies and analyzes MATE transporter genes in wild chickpea species under aluminum stress, finding that CaMATE2 is upregulated in all lines while CaMATE1 is upregulated in most, correlating with root growth responses.

The paper determines the cryo-EM structure of phosphorylated α-synuclein fibrils at Tyr39, revealing structural changes linked to Parkinson's disease pathology.

The paper investigates the genetic basis of rumen evolution by comparing transcriptomes and genomic data across ruminants, camels, and cetaceans, identifying key genetic innovations.

This study shows that anethole dithiolethione improves liver fatty acid metabolism in hamsters on high-fat diets by altering fatty acid profiles and regulating key metabolic pathways.

This study identifies aberrant GM-CSF+ T cells and inflammatory CD14+CD16+ monocytes in severe 2019-nCoV patients, linking them to immune damage and mortality.

This study determines the cryo-EM structure of a novel α-synuclein fibril formed by the E46K mutation, showing structural changes and altered stability compared to wild-type fibrils.

The paper identifies MLF2 as a component of nuclear envelope blebs and shows that Torsin ATPases are essential for completing nuclear pore complex biogenesis in interphase.

This study investigates the molecular mechanisms of brassinosteroid binding to the BRI1 receptor using molecular dynamics simulations, revealing differences in binding affinity and conformational changes between two bioactive BRs.

This study identifies GT198 mutations in stromal cells as a common cause of prostate and bladder cancers and suggests GT198 as a therapeutic target.

The paper identifies SCREAM as a scaffold that recruits MPK3/6 to downregulate SPEECHLESS, enforcing stomatal initiation through a bipartite motif interaction.

The study examines EGFR exon19 mutation subtypes in non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma and finds that CSS mutations are associated with shorter progression-free survival compared to CD/CSS+SNV mutations.

The paper shows that BAR domain-containing proteins drive membrane fission by crowding disordered domains, challenging the idea that BAR scaffolds stabilize membranes.

This paper introduces a dry method for preserving tear samples using Schirmers strips and vacuum bags, enabling room temperature storage and protein pattern preservation comparable to traditional wet methods.
