Model-based analysis of the circadian rhythm generation of bioluminescence reporter activity in duckweed

This study uses model-based analysis to determine that luminescence efficiency, not luciferase stability, drives circadian bioluminescence rhythms in duckweed.

High-resolution temporal profiling of the gut microbiome through the whole life of mice

This study tracks the gut microbiome of mice over their entire lifespan, revealing patterns of microbial persistence and age-related changes linked to longevity.

No circadian clock-gene circuit in the generation of cellular bioluminescence rhythm of CaMV35S::PtRLUC in duckweed

The paper shows that the CaMV35S::PtRLUC bioluminescence rhythm in duckweed is not controlled by the circadian clock gene circuit, unlike the AtCCA1::LUC+ rhythm.

Laterally biased diffusion of males of the water flea Daphnia magna

The paper analyzes swimming behaviors of Daphnia magna adults, finding males exhibit laterally biased diffusion while females show homogeneous, nondirectional diffusion.

Detection of uncoupled circadian rhythms in individual cells of Lemna minor using a dual-color bioluminescence monitoring system

This paper develops a dual-color bioluminescence monitoring system to observe circadian rhythms in individual Lemna minor cells, revealing uncoupling between oscillator and output.

Plagiarism in Brazil: A perspective of 25,000 PhD holders across the sciences

This study surveys 25,157 Brazilian PhD holders across sciences to assess plagiarism perceptions, finding shared principles aligning with Merton's observations on scientific discovery.
