Species wide inventory of Arabidopsis thaliana organellar variation reveals ample phenotypic variation for photosynthetic performance

The paper identifies organellar genetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana and shows its impact on photosynthesis through cybrid analysis and high-throughput phenotyping.

Ancient DNA Reveals China as a Historical Genetic Melting Pot in Tiger Evolution

This study uses ancient DNA to trace tiger evolution, revealing China as a genetic melting pot and resolving taxonomic disputes among tiger subspecies.

Dexamethasone Enhances CAR T Cell Persistence and Function by Upregulating Interleukin 7 Receptor

This study shows dexamethasone enhances CAR T cell persistence and function by upregulating IL7R, improving anti-tumor efficacy in vivo.

Social determinants of health and disease in companion dogs: A cohort study from the Dog Aging Project

This study examines how social environmental factors affect dog health across their lifespan using data from the Dog Aging Project.

KAT5 regulates neurodevelopmental states associated with G0-like populations in glioblastoma

This study identifies KAT5 as a regulator of G0-like states in glioblastoma, showing its role in suppressing non-dividing subpopulations and associating with worse patient outcomes.

The oxytocin system regulates tearing

This study identifies the role of the oxytocin system in regulating tear production by linking hypothalamic oxytocin neurons to the superior salivatory nucleus.

Single-cell RNA Sequencing Reveals the Temporal Diversity and Dynamics of Cardiac Immunity after Myocardial Infarction

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze cardiac immune cell dynamics after myocardial infarction in mice, identifying key immune subsets and their roles in disease progression.

Implicating Gene and Cell Networks Responsible for Differential COVID-19 Host Responses via an Interactive Single Cell Web Portal

The paper creates a web portal to compare single-cell transcriptome data from COVID-19 and control samples, identifying gene and cell network hypotheses related to differential host responses.

iPSC modeling shows uncompensated mitochondrial mediated oxidative stress underlies early heart failure in hypoplastic left heart syndrome

This study uses iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes to show that mitochondrial oxidative stress and ER stress underlie early heart failure in HLHS patients.

An Aerobic Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacterium Fixes CO2 via the Calvin-Benson-Bassham Cycle

The paper identifies a novel aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium, strain B3, capable of photoautotrophy via the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle using sulfite or H2 as electron donors.

An emerging role of Prevotella histicola on estrogen-deficiency induced bone loss through the gut microbiota-bone axis

This study identifies Prevotella histicola as a protective agent against estrogen-deficiency induced bone loss via the gut microbiota-bone axis in mice.
