Tiny amphibious insects use tripod gait for seamless transition across land, water, and duckweed

This study analyzes the locomotion of Microvelia insects across different surfaces, finding they maintain consistent leg movements on duckweed and adjust stride length based on surface texture, achieving higher speeds on water.

A single amino acid transporter controls the uptake of priming-inducing beta-amino acids and the associated trade-off between induced resistance and plant growth.

The paper identifies IRI1/LHT1 as the main transporter for beta-amino acids, showing its role in plant resistance and growth trade-offs.

The extracellular matrix supports breast cancer cell growth under amino acid starvation by promoting tyrosine catabolism

This study shows that the extracellular matrix supports breast cancer cell growth under amino acid starvation by enhancing tyrosine catabolism through ECM uptake and lysosomal degradation.
