Human Foot Force Informs Balance Control Strategies when Standing on a Narrow Beam

This study uses intersection point analysis of ground reaction forces to show that humans minimize joint effort by adjusting ankle and hip torques during balance on a narrow beam.

Dorsal horn dendrite polarization during Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) predicted using the quasi-uniform-mirror assumption.

This paper predicts dendritic polarization of dorsal horn interneurons during spinal cord stimulation using a computational model, finding that islet cells show the highest polarization between electrodes.

An organic extract from ascidian Ciona robusta induces cytotoxic autophagy in human malignant cell lines

This study shows that an organic extract from the ascidian Ciona robusta induces cytotoxic autophagy in human cancer cell lines, with HT-29 cells being the most sensitive.

Chrysin directing an enhanced solubility through the formation of a supramolecular cyclodextrin-calixarene drug delivery system: a potential strategy in antifibrotic diabetes therapeutics

This paper develops a ternary complex of chrysin, OTX008, and SBECD to enhance solubility and delivery of antifibrotic agents for diabetes, showing improved solubility and biocompatibility.

Specialized Tfh cell subsets driving type-1 and type-2 humoral responses in lymphoid tissue

The paper identifies specialized Tfh1 and Tfh2 subsets driving type-1 and type-2 humoral responses using single-cell transcriptomics and machine learning.

Genome-scale CRISPR Screens Identify Host Factors that Promote Human Coronavirus Infection

Genome-wide CRISPR screens identified host factors that promote human coronavirus infection, revealing novel antiviral drug targets.

Drug-induced colorectal cancer persister cells show increased mutation rate

The paper shows that drug treatment induces colorectal cancer persister cells with significantly increased mutation rates, suggesting new strategies to prevent tumor recurrence.

A Combined approach of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry and multivariate analysis as a potential tool for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in nasopharyngeal swabs.

This study explores using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry with multivariate analysis as a potential rapid diagnostic tool for SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swabs, showing promising preliminary results.
