Wetness modulates the effects of grazing on net ecosystem productivity in global grasslands

This study shows light grazing increases net ecosystem productivity with higher wetness, while heavy grazing reduces productivity regardless of wetness in global grasslands.

An orally administered peptide hydrogel disentangles immune-microbiota crosstalk for long-term ulcerative colitis therapy

This paper develops an orally administered peptide hydrogel that disrupts immune-microbiota interactions to treat ulcerative colitis, showing improved mucosal integrity and microbiota rebalancing in mice.

Early-onset β-amyloidosis in human brains with hematological malignances and cardiovascular diseases: Revisiting injury/stress induced axonal pathology

The paper examines early-onset β-amyloidosis in brains with hematological malignancies and cardiovascular diseases, finding vascular injury and axonal pathology associated with Aβ formation.

A combinatorial code of neurexin-3 alternative splicing controls inhibitory synapses via a trans-synaptic dystroglycan signaling loop

This study identifies a combinatorial splicing code in Neurexin-3 that regulates inhibitory synapse function through a trans-synaptic dystroglycan signaling loop.

EGF signaling in bowel carcinoma cells utilizes higher order architectures of EGFR and HER2

This study uses single-molecule imaging to show that EGF signaling in carcinoma cells involves EGFR and HER2 clusters with increased stoichiometry after EGF activation.

Streamlined low-input transcriptomics through EASY-RNAseq

EASY-RNAseq is a low-input RNAseq protocol that improves gene detection sensitivity and expression distribution in small cell populations.
