Inferring internal states across mice and monkeys using facial features

This study uses facial features from mice and monkeys to infer internal cognitive states during a foraging task, finding comparable state-task relationships across species.

Modelling the impact of rainfall events on increasing Vibrio vulnificus concentrations in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

This study models how rainfall events affect Vibrio vulnificus concentrations in Pacific oysters, finding that temperature and salinity changes predictably influence bacterial levels.

Oligosaccharide production and signaling correlate with delayed flowering in an Arabidopsis genotype grown and selected in high

This study compares metabolomic and transcriptomic changes in two Arabidopsis genotypes under elevated CO2, finding that SG delays flowering due to higher oligosaccharide production and altered carbohydrate metabolism.

Membrane and glycocalyx tethering of DNA nanostructures for enhanced uptake

This study enhances DNA nanostructure cellular uptake by targeting membrane and glycocalyx, showing improved uptake and endocytic pathways involving scavenger receptors and clathrin/caveolin mechanisms.

Biventricular interaction during acute left ventricular ischemia in mice: a combined in-vivo and in-silico approach

The paper combines in-vivo mouse data with a multiscale computational model to simulate and analyze biventricular interactions during acute left ventricular ischemia.

FBXL4 suppresses mitophagy by restricting the accumulation of NIX and BNIP3 mitophagy receptors

This study identifies FBXL4 as a suppressor of basal mitophagy by ubiquitylating and degrading NIX and BNIP3, and shows pathogenic variants disrupt this function leading to mtDNA depletion syndrome.

Simulation of receptor triggering by kinetic segregation shows role of oligomers and close-contacts

The paper uses simulations to show that CD45 oligomerization and close-cell contacts reduce the time for its surface evacuation, which is critical for T cell receptor triggering.

Broad geographic sampling reveals predictable, pervasive, and strong seasonal adaptation in Drosophila

The paper identifies parallel seasonal allele frequency shifts in Drosophila melanogaster across North America and Europe, linking environmental conditions to genomic responses to selection.

A Structural Ensemble of a Tau-Microtubule Complex Reveals Regulatory Tau Phosphorylation and Acetylation Mechanisms

The paper determines the structural ensemble of a tau-microtubule complex using cryo-EM, revealing phosphorylation and acetylation sites that destabilize the complex.

Membrane Interactions of α-Synuclein Revealed by Multiscale Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Markov State Models, and NMR

This study uses multiscale simulations and NMR to reveal structural changes in α-synuclein bound to lipid bilayers, providing insights into its role in Parkinson's disease.

Modification of forests by people means only 40% of remaining forests have high ecosystem integrity

The paper quantifies global forest modification, finding 40.5% of remaining forests have high ecosystem integrity, mostly in specific regions, and highlights the need for policies to protect these areas.

Minimizing marine ingredients in diets of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): Effects on growth performance and muscle lipid and fatty acid composition

This study evaluates the effects of reducing marine ingredients in Atlantic salmon diets on growth and muscle lipid composition, finding that low fish meal with moderate fish oil maintains omega-3 fatty acids and growth performance.
