The effects of L-carnitine and fructose in improved Ham's F10 on sperm culture in idiopathic severe asthenospermia within 24h

This study evaluates the effects of L-carnitine and fructose in modified Ham's F10 medium on sperm motility in idiopathic severe asthenospermia patients within 24h, finding improved viability at specific concentrations and temperature.

Post-flowering photoperiod sensitivity of soybean in pod-setting responses

This study shows that soybean pod formation is sensitive to photoperiod, with LD conditions delaying pod formation and SD conditions affecting pistil morphology to influence pod-setting timing.

Efficient cloning of genes for wheat yield component traits from QTLs via sequencing of the RIL population

This study develops a method to clone genes for wheat yield traits by sequencing RIL populations, identifying and validating 11 candidate genes from 77 QTLs.

Digital twinning of cardiac electrophysiology for congenital heart disease

The paper develops a computational pipeline to create digital twins of cardiac electrophysiology for pediatric congenital heart disease patients using BLNMs to match clinical ECGs.

Isolating Small Extracellular Vesicles from Small Volumes of Blood Plasma using size exclusion chromatography and density gradient ultracentrifugation: A Comparative Study

This study compares SEC-DGUC and DGUC-SEC protocols for isolating high-purity sEVs from small plasma volumes, finding SEC-DGUC yields higher protein and RNA content.

SoyDNGP: A Web-Accessible Deep Learning Framework for Genomic Prediction in Soybean Breeding

SoyDNGP is a deep learning framework for genomic prediction in soybean breeding that outperforms existing methods in accuracy and efficiency, with a web interface for trait prediction and lookup.

Effect of growing regions on morphological characteristics, protein nutrition, rumen degradation and molecular structures of various whole-plant silage corn cultivars

Force-regulated spontaneous conformational changes of integrins α5β1 and αVβ3

This study compares force-induced conformational changes in integrin ectodomains α5β1 and αVβ3, revealing distinct mechanical behaviors and energy landscapes.

Distinct function of SPL genes in age-related resistance in Arabidopsis

This study identifies SPL genes, particularly SPL10, as activators of age-related resistance in Arabidopsis during vegetative phase change by enhancing the salicylic acid pathway.

Selenium in wheat from farming to food

This paper reviews selenium content in wheat farming soil, grain, and derived foods globally, showing how agronomic practices can enhance selenium levels in wheat and its products.

An oomycete effector impairs autophagy in evolutionary distant organisms and favors host infection

The paper shows an oomycete effector, AVH195, impairs autophagy in diverse organisms, promoting host infection by slowing autophagic flux.

Molecular Mechanisms Governing Shade Responses in Maize

This study identifies molecular mechanisms of shade responses in maize by analyzing transcriptome changes and functionally testing a key transcription factor.
