Deciphering the impact of cancer cells secretome and its derived-peptide VGF on breast cancer brain metastasis

This study identifies VGF as a key mediator in breast cancer brain metastasis, showing its association with poor prognosis and BBB disruption.

FSTL1 is an antagonist of ERK1/2 phosphorylation during ciliogenesis and preadipocyte differentiation.

This study identifies ERK1/2 phosphorylation as a mediator of FSTL1's role in ciliogenesis and preadipocyte differentiation, showing FSTL1 antagonizes BMP non-canonical signaling.

What Primates Know About Other Minds and When They Use It: AComputational Approach to Comparative Theory of Mind

This study uses a computational framework to analyze non-human primates' Theory of Mind by examining their success and failure patterns in perspective-taking tasks.

Bridging the gap between movement data and connectivity analysis using the time-explicit Step Selection Function (tSSF)

This paper introduces the time-explicit Step Selection Function (tSSF) to analyze animal movement and connectivity, revealing how habitat selection and time of day influence movement patterns in giant anteaters.

Unveiling the role of osteosarcoma-derived secretome in premetastatic lung remodeling

The paper investigates how osteosarcoma secretome remodels the lung microenvironment to promote metastasis using mouse models and multi-omics analysis.

SARS-CoV-2 immune complex triggers human monocyte necroptosis

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 and its immune complexes induce monocyte necroptosis via RIPK3 and MLKL, with Syk kinase involvement, and links elevated LDH to COVID-19 pathogenesis.

Gut microbiota diversity and C-Reactive Protein are predictors of disease severity in COVID-19 patients
