Grasping at the organization of object knowledge: testing different object-related dimensions as organizational principles of ventral temporal cortex.

The paper tests how object-related dimensions like animacy, graspability, and texture organize object representations in ventral temporal cortex using fMRI and multivariate analysis.

Population estimates of shorebirds on the Atlantic Coast of southern South America generated from large-scale, simultaneous, volunteer-led surveys

The paper estimates shorebird populations along the Atlantic Coast of southern South America using volunteer-led surveys and remote sensing, finding high densities in wetlands and population declines for Nearctic species.

High capacity of Brazilian Aedes aegypti populations to transmit a locally circulating lineage of Chikungunya virus

This study shows Brazilian Aedes aegypti populations efficiently transmit a locally circulating Chikungunya virus ECSA lineage, contributing to its high prevalence.

The FIBRILLIN multigene family in tomato, their roles in plastoglobuli structure and metabolism

This study investigates the role of FIBRILLIN genes in plastoglobuli structure and metabolism in tomato, revealing functional redundancy and specific roles in isoprenoid accumulation and lipid metabolism.

A Cdh3-Lam332 signaling axis in a leader cell subpopulation controls protrusion dynamics and tumor organoid collective migration

The paper identifies a Cdh3-Lam332 signaling axis in a subset of leader cells that drives protrusion dynamics and collective migration in tumor organoids.

Mechanically primed cells transfer memory to fibrous matrices for persistent invasion

The paper shows that cells primed by stiff matrices apply higher forces and align collagen fibers for sustained invasion, demonstrating mechanical memory transfer between cells and matrices.
