Bivariate multilevel meta-analysis of log response ratio and standardized mean difference for robust and reproducible environmental and biological sciences

This paper introduces a bivariate multilevel meta-analysis method for log response ratio and standardized mean difference to improve reproducibility and reduce false positives in environmental and biological meta-analyses.

Keywords to success: a practical guide to maximise the visibility and impact of academic papers

The paper provides evidence-based recommendations to improve the discoverability and impact of academic papers through optimized use of keywords and abstract structure.

Active communities and growth of soil microorganisms are framed by mean annual precipitation in three California annual grasslands

The paper examines how mean annual precipitation affects microbial community growth and soil carbon cycling in three California grasslands, finding that growth rates and community composition vary with precipitation.

Belowground allocation and dynamics of recently fixed plant carbon in a California annual grassland soil

This study tracks the fate of plant-fixed carbon in a California grassland soil over two years, showing rapid mineral association and long-term persistence of carbon in heavy soil fractions.

Toward Minimally Invasive Therapeutic Ultrasound: Ultrasound-guided Ablation in Neuro-oncology

The paper develops and validates an ultrasound-guided focused ultrasound probe for minimally invasive neuro-oncology procedures, demonstrating its ability to ablate lesions in tissue-mimicking phantoms.

The oncogenic Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus encodes a mimic of the tumor suppressive miR-15/16 miRNA family

This study identifies KSHV miR-K6-5p as a functional mimic of the tumor suppressive miR-15/16 family, showing it inhibits cell cycle progression and promotes growth in KSHV-transformed B cells.

Neurochondrin interacts with the SMN protein suggesting a novel mechanism for Spinal Muscular Atrophy pathology.

The paper identifies neurochondrin as an interacting partner of SMN in mobile vesicles, suggesting its role in SMA pathology and potential as a therapeutic target.
