This study uses a GWAS and machine learning framework to identify genetic signals related to protein-synthesis pathways that influence cacao yield after correcting for population structure.

This paper develops a taxonomy-agnostic workflow using hyperspectral imaging and machine learning to predict fungal isolate crop-source labels with 86.7% accuracy.

This study identifies electrostatic interactions between hyperphosphorylated tau and polyamines as crucial for tau aggregation in Alzheimer's disease and observes the transition from aggregates to fibrils.

The paper uses CRISPR/Cas9 screening in colorectal cancer organoids to identify novel metastasis regulators, finding Ctnna1 and Bcl2l13 as metastasis suppressors.

This study shows GLI2 and GLI3 regulate HBC-mediated olfactory epithelium regeneration by controlling proliferation, identity, and differentiation of HBCs following injury.

This paper characterizes the kinetic and biophysical properties of Escherichia coli HepII, a GT-B glycosyltransferase, and develops a structural model to understand its catalytic mechanism and substrate interactions.

The paper identifies autophagic state as a marker for facultative stem cells in the intestinal epithelium, independent of lineage or cell age.

The paper identifies plasma proteomic biomarkers that predict non-response to PD1 blockade in melanoma patients and links them to tumor microenvironment biology.

The paper uses patient-derived iPS cells to model liver pathologies in telomeropathies and identifies AKT suppression as a potential therapeutic target.

This paper uses an intestine-on-a-chip model to study NL63 coronavirus infection effects on the human intestine and tests antiviral treatments.

This study identifies metabolic and proteomic defects in human hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, showing depletion of fatty acid derivatives and increased alternate fuel metabolites.

The study shows that β-adrenergic stimulation causes SAN cells to synchronize their firing rates towards a higher average, rather than uniformly increasing each cell's rate.

This study uses stable isotope tracing to show that gut microbiota supply carbon for host histone acetylation, linking microbial metabolism to host epigenetic regulation.

This paper demonstrates the formation of lymphoid follicles in a human organ-on-a-chip model and shows improved vaccine responses compared to 2D cultures.

This study investigates the functions of Mediator subunits in Fusarium verticillioides, showing that some subunits have unique regulatory roles in development, stress response, and secondary metabolism.

This study identifies Endocan as an endothelial-secreted ligand for PDGFR alpha that promotes GBM vascularity, radioresistance, and phenotypic diversity.

The paper investigates metabolic variation in latex of Euphorbia species to understand its role in plant defense against pathogens and other enemies.

This paper identifies FvLcp1, a secreted type-D fungal LysM protein with chitin-binding domains, as a key factor in fumonisin production and host recognition in F. verticillioides during maize infection.

The paper revises the subunit order of mammalian septin complexes, showing they can co-polymerize and revealing an inverted organization compared to previous predictions.

The paper identifies virulence-related subnetwork modules in Fusarium verticillioides using co-expression analysis and predicts maize genes responding to fungal virulence factors.
