Early Detection of an Invasive Alien Plant (Phragmites australis) Using Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles and Artificial Intelligence

This study uses UAVs and deep learning to detect invasive Phragmites australis, achieving high recall and F1-score for early detection.

Extracellular matrix signals promotes actin-dependent mitochondrial elongation and activity

This study shows that ECM signals induce mitochondrial elongation and activity through actin polymerization and integrin signaling in mammospheres.

Influence of Temperate Forest Autumn Leaf Phenology on Segmentation of Tree Species from UAV Imagery Using Deep Learning

This study evaluates how autumn leaf senescence affects tree species segmentation using UAV imagery and deep learning, finding best performance at the onset of leaf colour change.

Mitochondria- and ER-associated actin are required for mitochondrial fusion

The paper shows that actin filaments on mitochondria and ER are required for both fission and fusion, with Arp2/3 and INF2 playing distinct roles in fusion.

Contact sites between endoplasmic reticulum sheets and mitochondria regulate mitochondrial DNA replication and segregation

The paper shows that ER sheet-mitochondria contact sites regulate mtDNA replication and distribution, with DRP1 loss disrupting this interaction and causing mtDNA issues.

Mitochondrial fission is required for proper nucleoid distribution within mitochondrial networks

This study develops a computational tool to analyze nucleoid distribution in mitochondrial networks and shows that mitochondrial fission is essential for proper nucleoid positioning and distribution.

Selective packaging of mitochondrial proteins into extracellular vesicles prevents the release of mitochondrial DAMPs

The paper shows cells selectively package mitochondrial proteins into EVs while excluding damaged proteins, using distinct MDVs pathways and Parkin to prevent inflammation.
