Metagenomic and metabolomic analysis of a bryozoan-associated microbial complex from the Hanjiang River, China

This study analyzes the metagenomic and metabolomic composition of a bryozoan-associated microbial complex in the Hanjiang River, revealing its structure, functional roles, and interactions.

Rhizobial effector NopM ubiquitinates Nod factor receptor NFR5 and promotes rhizobial infection in Lotus japonicus

This study identifies NopM as a rhizobial effector that ubiquitinates NFR5, enhancing infection of Lotus japonicus by modulating Nod factor signaling.

Mechanical evolution of metastatic cancer cells in three-dimensional microenvironment

This study uses optical Brillouin microscopy to analyze mechanical features of cancer spheroids over time, showing improved classification accuracy using these features.

In situ observation of water transport through the urothelium with optical coherence tomography

This study uses OCT to show the urothelium absorbs and expels water in response to NaCl, challenging its traditional view as impermeable and linking osmotic stress to urothelial damage.

Cold protection allows local cryotherapy in a clinical-relevant model of traumatic optic neuropathy

This paper develops a cold-protective treatment for traumatic optic neuropathy using a clinically relevant animal model, showing that combined hypothermia and cold protection reduces inflammation and metabolic stress without cellular damage.
