Multimodal fertility cues in chimpanzees: How body odours complement sexual swellings

This study investigates whether chimpanzee anogenital odours change during the fertile period and if males can detect these changes, finding subtle olfactory cues complement visual swelling signals.

Copper drives remodeling of metabolic state and progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma

This study shows copper drives metabolic remodeling and progression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma by coordinating bioenergy, biosynthesis, and redox homeostasis.

Fecal microbiota transplantation from individual with bipolar disorder and healthy control elicits distinct behaviors and metabolite profiles in mice

This study uses FMT from BD and healthy donors to show distinct behavioral and metabolite profiles in mice, implicating gut-brain signaling in BD.

ARF6 as a novel activator of HIF-2alpha in pulmonary arterial hypertension

This study identifies ARF6 as a novel activator of HIF-2alpha in pulmonary arterial hypertension and shows that the antibiotic CTC inhibits this pathway.

The landscape of biomedical research

The paper creates a 2D map of biomedical literature to visualize research trends and evolution across disciplines.

PEGylated recombinant Aplysia punctata ink toxin depletes arginine and lysine and inhibits growth of tumor xenografts

This study shows that PEGylated APIT reduces tumor growth in xenograft models by depleting arginine and lysine through amino acid oxidation.

Direct observation of motor protein stepping in living cells using MINFLUX

This study uses MINFLUX to track motor protein stepping in living cells and resolve their spatial organization on microtubules.

Delineating organizational principles of the endogenous L-A virus by cryo-EM and computational analysis of native cell extracts

The paper uses cryo-EM and computational analysis to study the structure and organization of the yeast L-A virus in native cell extracts, revealing capsid architecture and viral community dynamics.

Evidence of active oviposition avoidance to systemically applied imidacloprid in the Colorado Potato Beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata)

This study shows that Colorado Potato Beetle females actively avoid ovipositing on imidacloprid-treated plants, suggesting learned behavior contributes to their resistance and spread.

2.7 A cryo-EM structure of vitrified M. musculus H-chain apoferritin from 200 keV \"screening microscope\"

The paper solves the 2.7 Å structure of mouse H-chain apoferritin using a 200 keV cryo-EM screening microscope without energy filters or aberration correctors.

Macrophage-specific NF-kappa B activation dynamics can segregate inflammatory bowel disease patients

This paper uses dynamic NF-kappaB activation assays in macrophages to stratify IBD patients into distinct phenotypic groups based on their response to stimulation.

Open access policies of leading medical journals: a cross-sectional study

This study examines open access policies of high-impact medical journals, finding that most do not provide unrestricted CC BY licenses for commercially funded research.

Red Bull Gives You Incentive Motivation: Understanding Placebo Effects of Energy Drinks on Human Cognitive Performance

This study investigates how belief in consuming energy drinks enhances cognitive performance through placebo effects and motivation, showing that expected consumption, not actual intake, improves performance in high-incentive tasks.
