Gestures Of Hunger: Uncovering Intentional Gestural Communication In Free-Ranging Hanuman Langurs

This study identifies intentional gestural communication in Hanuman langurs, showing they use learned gestures to request food from humans and adapt this behavior as a foraging strategy.

KDM6A loss sensitizes human acute myeloid leukemia to PARP and BCL2 inhibition

This study shows that KDM6A loss in AML increases sensitivity to PARP and BCL2 inhibitors, suggesting a new combination therapy approach for KDM6A-mutant AML.

Synergistic collagen-condiment: Streptococcal collagen-like (Scl) protein in cell-adhesion and diabetic wound-closure matrix

This study investigates the biomaterial potential of recombinant Streptococcal collagen-like (rScl1) protein, showing its non-cytotoxicity, cell-adhesion support, and efficacy in diabetic wound closure with increased type III collagen.

Aspiration-assisted freeform bioprinting of mesenchymal stem cell spheroids within alginate microgels

This study demonstrates the use of alginate microgels as a support bath for aspiration-assisted freeform bioprinting of hMSC spheroids, achieving high fusion efficiency and positional accuracy for bone tissue fabrication.

Computational prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on the binding affinity between SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and the human ACE2 receptor
