Evidence for kilometer-scale biophysical features at the Gulf Stream front

This study investigates how submesoscale frontal dynamics at the Gulf Stream front affect biological communities and productivity, finding two key processes linked to meander phases that influence phytoplankton biomass and composition.

The Impact of Gulf Stream Frontal Eddies on Ecology and Biogeochemistry near Cape Hatteras

This paper investigates a frontal eddy in the Gulf Stream near Cape Hatteras, finding physical and biogeochemical differences from adjacent waters and proposing a conceptual model linking eddies to zooplankton supply for top predators.

Phytoplankton adaptive resilience to climate change collapses in case of extreme events; A modeling study

This study models how phytoplankton communities adapt to temperature changes, finding that they can adapt to gradual increases but fail under rapid extreme events, suggesting current climate models may overestimate resilience.

Iron Chelation Improves Ineffective Erythropoiesis and Iron Overload in Myelodysplastic Syndrome Mice

This study shows that iron chelation with deferiprone improves ineffective erythropoiesis and iron overload in MDS mice by normalizing iron metabolism and reducing oxidative stress.

miR319-targeted TCP4/LANCEOLATE directly regulates OVATE and auxin responses to modulate tomato gynoecium patterning and fruit morphology

This study identifies miR319-targeted TCP4/LA regulation of OVATE and auxin responses, revealing a molecular mechanism controlling tomato fruit morphology and gynoecium patterning.

Metabolic reprogramming underlies cavefish muscular endurance despite loss of muscle mass and contractility

This paper shows cavefish have reduced muscle mass and contractility but increased muscular endurance due to metabolic reprogramming involving glycogen utilization.

Plankton energy flows using a global size-structured and trait-based model

The paper introduces a global plankton model that simulates energy flows and trophic interactions, reproducing observed patterns and showing how productivity gradients affect food chain structure and carbon export.

The landscape of extrachromosomal circular DNA in medulloblastoma

This study identifies ecDNA in 18% of medulloblastoma patients, linking it to higher relapse and mortality rates and suggesting enhancer rewiring as an oncogenic mechanism.

Inhibition of the SHP-1 activity by PKC-θ regulates NK cell activation threshold and cytotoxicity

This study shows that PKC-θ phosphorylates SHP-1, inhibiting its activity and maintaining NK cell activation threshold and cytotoxicity.

IQD1 involvement in hormonal signaling and general defense responses against Botrytis cinerea

This study shows IQD1 enhances resistance to Botrytis cinerea in A. thaliana by regulating hormone signaling and glucosinolate accumulation.

The VIL gene CRAWLING ELEPHANT controls maturation and differentiation in tomato via polycomb silencing

This study identifies the tomato gene CRAWLING ELEPHANT (CREL) as a key regulator of maturation and differentiation by promoting polycomb silencing through PRC2 recruitment.

The rodent vaginal microbiome across the estrous cycle and the effect of genital nerve electrical stimulation

This study examines the rat vaginal microbiome across the estrous cycle and evaluates the effect of genital nerve electrical stimulation on its composition.

A chemoproteomic portrait of the oncometabolite fumarate

This study maps fumarate's covalent targets using chemoproteomic probes and identifies cysteine residues affected by fumarate or FH mutations in HLRCC cells.
