Overexpressing NRT2.7 induces nitrate export from the vacuole and increases growth of Arabidopsis

This study shows that overexpressing NRT2.7 increases nitrate export from vacuoles and enhances Arabidopsis growth under low nitrogen conditions.

A Blood Immunological Signature of Subclinical Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis in People Living with HIV-1 Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy

This study identifies immunological markers associated with subclinical coronary artery atherosclerosis in HIV+ individuals on ART, finding reduced Th17/Treg ratios and increased non-classical monocyte frequencies correlate with atherosclerosis burden.

Corythauma ayyari (Insecta, Heteroptera, Tingidae) depends on its host plant to invade Europe

The paper models the distribution and niche overlap of the invasive bug Corythauma ayyari, showing its dependence on host plants for invasion into Europe.

3D-printed polymeric scaffolds with optimized architecture to repair a sheep metatarsal critical-size bone defect

This study develops a 3D-printed scaffold with a polyelectrolyte coating delivering BMP-2 to repair a sheep metatarsal defect, showing optimal bone regeneration with specific scaffold geometry and BMP-2 dose.

Subclinical Atherosclerosis is Associated with Discrepancies in BAFF and APRIL Levels and Altered Breg Potential of Precursor-like Marginal Zone B-Cells in HIV Treated Individuals

The paper investigates the association between BAFF and APRIL levels and subclinical atherosclerosis in HIV-treated individuals, finding elevated BAFF correlates with CVD risk factors while APRIL shows inverse correlations.

The Arabidopsis transcription factor NLP2 regulates early nitrate responses and integrates nitrate assimilation with energy and carbon skeleton supply

The paper identifies NLP2 as a key transcription factor regulating early nitrate responses and linking nitrate assimilation with carbon and energy metabolism in Arabidopsis.

Covid-19 vaccine immunogenicity in people living with HIV-1

This study evaluates mRNA vaccine immunogenicity in HIV-positive individuals, finding similar anti-RBD IgG responses to controls in those with CD4 counts >250 cells/mm3, but significantly lower responses in those with <250 cells/mm3.

Large-scale simulations of biological cell sorting driven by differential adhesion follow diffusion-limited domain coalescence regime

The paper simulates cell sorting driven by differential adhesion and finds it follows a power-law scaling with exponent 1/4, independent of mixture ratio.
