Gluebodies improve crystal reliability and diversity through transferable nanobody mutations that introduce constitutive close contacts

The paper engineers nanobody interfaces to improve crystal reliability and diversity, resulting in better diffraction and multiple polymorphs.

Cooperative Communication with Humans Evolved to Emerge Early in Dogs

This study compares dog and wolf puppies to show domestication enhanced dogs' cooperative communication with humans through increased attraction to humans.

Highly Heritable and Functionally Relevant Breed Differences in Dog Behavior

The paper identifies heritable genetic variants associated with breed-specific behaviors in dogs, linking them to brain-expressed genes involved in neurobiology and development.

Validation of Salivary Oxytocin and Vasopressin as Biomarkers in Domestic Dogs

This study validates ELISAs for measuring salivary oxytocin and vasopressin in dogs, finding detectable levels and good assay performance.

Endogenous Oxytocin, Vasopressin and Aggression in Domestic Dogs

This study examines the relationship between endogenous oxytocin and vasopressin levels and aggression in domestic dogs, finding differences in these neuropeptides between aggressive and non-aggressive dogs.

Effects of Human-Animal Interaction on Dog Salivary and Plasma Oxytocin and Vasopressin

This study examines how affiliative human-animal interaction affects salivary and plasma oxytocin and vasopressin levels in dogs, finding significant increases in salivary oxytocin and decreases in plasma vasopressin during interaction.
