Mechanisms of Nuclear Pore Complex disassembly by the mitotic Polo-Like Kinase 1 (PLK-1) in C. elegans embryos

The paper identifies how PLK-1 dismantles nuclear pore complexes in C. elegans zygotes by phosphorylating intrinsically disordered regions of nucleoporins.

Flexible hidden Markov models for behaviour-dependent habitat selection

This paper introduces an integrated HMM-SSF model to jointly analyze behavior-dependent habitat selection in animals, identifying distinct behavioral states and their spatial preferences in zebras.

Cytoplasmic nucleoporin foci are stress-sensitive, non-essential condensates inC. elegans

The paper characterizes cytoplasmic nucleoporin foci in C. elegans, finding they are stress-sensitive, non-essential condensates formed by FG-Nups and dissolve during mitosis.

Evolutionary responses of a reef-building coral to climate change at the end of the last glacial maximum

This study examines the evolutionary responses of the coral Acropora digitifera to climate change by analyzing genetic divergence and adaptation mechanisms during the last glacial maximum.

C. difficile may be overdiagnosed in adults and is a prevalent commensal in infants

This study finds that C. difficile is often overdiagnosed in adults and is a common commensal in infants, with distinct microbial associations across age groups.

Captivity-induced behaviour and spatial learning abilities in an enigmatic, aquifer-dwelling blind eel, Rakthamichthys digressus

This study examines how captivity affects behavior and spatial learning in the blind eel Rakthamichthys digressus, finding altered behaviors but no change in behavioral syndromes or spatial learning ability.

IL-1-driven stromal-neutrophil interaction in deep ulcers defines a pathotype of therapy non-responsive inflammatory bowel disease

SPINT2 controls SARS-CoV-2 viral infection and is associated to disease severity

This study identifies SPINT2 as a regulator of SARS-CoV-2 infection, showing its negative correlation with viral expression and down-regulation in COVID-19 patients and chronic disease datasets.

Citrullination of proteins as a specific response mechanism in plants

This study identifies citrullination as a post-translational modification in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing its presence in the proteome and its response to cold stress.

Distance Sampling in R

The paper introduces an R package for distance sampling methods to estimate animal and plant population abundance and density.
