Social influences on delayed gratification in New Caledonian crows and Eurasian jays

This study examines how social context affects delayed gratification in New Caledonian crows and Eurasian jays, finding species differences in reward selection under varying social conditions.

POT1 Stability and Binding Measured by Fluorescence Thermal Shift Assays

This paper describes two fluorescent thermal shift assays to quantify POT1 stability and DNA interactions, revealing mechanisms of POT1 inhibition.

Ultra-pure isolation of low density neutrophils casts doubt on their exceptionality in health and disease

The paper isolates ultra-pure low density neutrophils (LDNs) from healthy donors and shows they are functionally similar to normal density neutrophils (NDNs), challenging their classification as a distinct population.

Decision-making flexibility in New Caledonian crows, young children and adult humans in a multi-dimensional tool-use task

This study compares decision-making flexibility in New Caledonian crows, children, and humans during a tool-use task, finding differences in tool selection and adaptability to complexity.

Human POT1 Unfolds G-Quadruplexes by Conformational Selection

This paper investigates how POT1 unfolds human telomeric G-quadruplexes through a conformational selection mechanism, supported by kinetic, thermodynamic, and computational data.

Folding landscape of a parallel G-quadruplex

The paper investigates the folding pathway of a G-quadruplex using spectroscopic and computational methods, revealing multiple intermediates and a slow unfolding process.
