Subcellular visualization of the distribution of atmospheric dinitrogen fixed by Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus bacteria in maize

The paper uses NanoSIMS imaging to visualize subcellular distribution of fixed nitrogen in maize inoculated with Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus, showing nitrogen incorporation into chloroplasts.

T-cell inflammation is prognostic of survival in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma enriched for an adrenergic signature

The paper identifies T-cell inflammation (TCI) as a prognostic marker in high-risk neuroblastoma, showing improved survival in ADRN tumors but not MES tumors.

Mechanical Dissociation of Tissues for Single Cell Analysis Using a Simple Motorized Device

This paper introduces a low-cost motorized device for automated tissue dissociation, improving reproducibility and reducing time compared to manual methods.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells mediate CpG-ODN induced increase in survival in a mouse model of lymphangioleiomyomatosis

This study shows that CpG-ODN improves survival in a mouse LAM model by enhancing immune responses, mediated by plasmacytoid dendritic cells, and synergizes with anti-PD1 and rapamycin.

Are we moving the dial? Canadian Health Research Funding Trends for Women's Health, 2S/LGBTQ+ Health, Sex, or Gender Considerations

This paper analyzes Canadian health research funding trends from 2009-2020, finding minimal increases in mentions of sex, gender, female-specific health, or 2S/LGBTQ+ health in funded grant abstracts.

Long-read powered viral metagenomics in the oligotrophic Sargasso Sea

This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze viral communities in the Sargasso Sea, identifying new phage populations and highlighting the importance of long reads for viral genome diversity and function.

Nutrient and salt depletion synergistically boosts glucose metabolism in individual bacteria

This study shows that nutrient and salt depletion in E. coli increases glucose accumulation rates at the translational and posttranslational levels, challenging the view that growth rate alone reflects metabolic status.

Evidence of recent increased pathogenicity within the Australian Ascochyta rabiei population

This study shows an increase in the pathogenicity of Australian Ascochyta rabiei isolates, with more aggressive strains causing severe damage on resistant chickpea cultivars since 2013.

The role of conidia in the dispersal of Ascochyta rabiei

This study investigates the distance conidia of Ascochyta rabiei spread during rainfall and irrigation, finding they travel farther than previously thought and developing a model to predict their spread.

Meiotic Genes In Colpodean Ciliates Support Secretive Sexuality

The paper shows that colpodean ciliates have meiotic genes under functional constraint, suggesting they are sexual despite being thought asexual.

Substrate-triggered position-switching of TatA and TatB is an essential step in the Escherichia coli Tat protein export pathway.
