A precise IDMS-based method for absolute quantification of phytohemagglutinin, a major antinutritional component in common bean

This paper introduces an IDMS-based LC-MS/MS method for precise quantification of phytohemagglutinin in common beans, showing high linearity, sensitivity, recovery, and repeatability.

Identification of Host Restriction Factors Critical for Recombinant AAV Transduction of Polarized Human Airway Epithelium

This study identifies host restriction factors critical for rAAV2.5T transduction of polarized human airway epithelium, revealing KIAA0319L's role in transduction but not internalization, and WDR63's role in transduction without involvement in internalization or nuclear entry.

Coupled functional physiological phenotyping and simulation model to estimate dynamic water use efficiency and infer transpiration sensitivity traits

HDL-C as a potential medium between depletion of Lachnospiraceae genera and hypertension under high-calorie diet

This study links gut microbial depletion of Lachnospiraceae genera to lower HDL-C and hypertension in a high-calorie diet population, suggesting HDL-C as a mediator.

Quality Control Framework of TCM Preparations based on Multi-type Fingerprints using a Source Proportion Estimation Model

This paper proposes a quality control framework for TCM preparations using multi-type fingerprints and a source proportion estimation model to evaluate batch consistency and manufacturer differences.

Microbial dysbiosis and metabolic disorders promote rheumatoid arthritis across successive stages: a multi-omics cohort study

This study identifies stage-specific microbial and metabolic changes in RA progression using multi-omics data from a cohort of patients.

The APETALA2 transcription factor LsAP2 regulates seed shape in lettuce

This study identifies LsAP2 as a transcription factor regulating seed shape in lettuce, showing its role in seed development and dispersal through interactions with LsBP and involvement in brassinosteroid pathways.

An Engineered Genetic Circuit for Lactose Intolerance Alleviation Coupled with Gut Microbiota Recovery

This paper presents a genetic circuit that alleviates lactose intolerance by boosting beta-galactosidase activity and restoring gut microbiota through pH regulation in mice.

Long Period Modeling SARS-CoV-2 Infection of in Vitro Cultured Polarized Human Airway Epithelium

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 infection of polarized human airway epithelium is long-lasting with recurring replication peaks every 7-10 days and requires a high viral load.

Time-course transcriptome landscape of achene development in lettuce

This study performs a time-course transcriptome analysis of lettuce achenes to identify gene expression patterns and molecular mechanisms during achene development.

Establishment of a Replicon System for Bourbon Virus and Identification of Small Molecules that Efficiently Inhibit Virus Replication

This study establishes a BRBV replicon system and identifies myricetin as a potent inhibitor of BRBV replication with a high therapeutic index.

Microbial contamination screening and interpretation for biological laboratory environments

This study identifies and analyzes microbial contaminants in biological laboratories, finding that lab type influences microbial communities more than sampling site, and identifies environmental and human factors as key sources.

Gut microbiome of an unindustrialized population have characteristic enrichment of SNPs in species and functions with the succession of seasons

The paper analyzes seasonal SNP patterns in the Hadza gut microbiome, finding that SNP enrichments are independent of species abundance and reveal genomic adaptations to seasonal environmental changes.
