This study identifies ROR1 as a critical marker for pancreatic tumor-initiating cells with a partial EMT signature, showing its role in promoting tumor growth and relapse.

This study identifies a growth-related gene in Arabidopsis thaliana associated with reduced aphid abundance through delayed growth and flowering.

This study shows that UVR8 and CRY1 work together in Arabidopsis to help plants survive UV-B radiation in natural conditions, with UVR8 playing a key role in long-term survival.

The paper analyzes glucose, fructose, and sucrose contents in Japanese beverages to assess actual sugar intake, finding discrepancies between measured sugar and labeled carbohydrate content.

The paper examines the association between DNA methylation at HIF3A CpG sites and obesity parameters in Japanese women, finding a link between methylation at cg27146050 and visceral fat thickness, BMI, and body fat percentage.

This study deletes the PM/PGFS gene in mice and finds elevated intraocular pressure, suggesting PM/PGFS regulates prostanoid levels that affect eye pressure.

This study develops collagen hydrogels that mimic native ECM by combining elasticity, topography, and composition, showing topography overrides elasticity in controlling cell morphology.

The paper examines transcriptional variation in glucosinolate biosynthetic genes and inducible responses to aphid herbivory in field-grown Arabidopsis thaliana using RNA-Seq and insect survey data.

The paper investigates how genetic variation in the GLABRA1 gene affects insect communities on Arabidopsis thaliana by comparing glabrous mutants and natural accessions in two field sites.

The paper uses GWAS to show polygenic selection on pollen number in Arabidopsis thaliana, identifies a gene affecting pollen number, and validates its causal role using CRISPR-Cas9 mutants.
