HyperPRI: A Dataset of Hyperspectral Images for Underground Plant Root Study

HyperPRI provides a dataset of hyperspectral and RGB images of underground plant roots for non-destructive analysis, showing that combining spectral and spatial data improves segmentation.

Analysis of human BBS protein homologues in insects support alternative non-ciliary functions

This study investigates BBS protein homologues in insects, finding conserved BBSome structure and tissue-specific expression suggesting non-ciliary functions.

Nanopore adaptive sampling of a metagenomic sample derived from a human monkeypox case

The paper uses Nanopore sequencing to analyze a monkeypox sample, enabling real-time viral genome characterization and strain determination.

An rRNA fragment in extracellular vesicles secreted by human airway epithelial cells increases the fluoroquinolone sensitivity of P. aeruginosa

This study identifies an rRNA fragment from human airway epithelial cell extracellular vesicles that enhances P. aeruginosa sensitivity to ciprofloxacin by downregulating the MexHI-OpmD efflux pump.

Tobramycin-induced secretion of P. aeruginosa 5' tRNA-fMet halves suppresses lung inflammation via AGO2 gene silencing

This study shows tobramycin reduces lung inflammation in pwCF by increasing 5' tRNA-fMet halves that suppress IL-8 and neutrophil recruitment via AGO2 gene silencing.

Surface-aerosol stability and pathogenicity of diverse MERS-CoV strains from 2012 - 2018

The paper examines the environmental stability, replication kinetics, and pathogenicity of diverse MERS-CoV strains and SARS-CoV-2, finding variation in stability and pathogenicity among isolates.

Isolation of nuclei and downstream processing of cell-type-specific nuclei from micro-dissected mouse brain regions - techniques and caveats.

This paper describes a protocol for isolating cell-type-specific nuclei from micro-dissected mouse brain regions and introduces tools to assess nuclear quality and quantity.

Insight into biogeochemical models from Scale Transition Theory: a dimensionless, scale-free approach

The paper develops a dimensionless, scale-free framework to analyze upscaled Michaelis-Menten kinetics in biogeochemical models, addressing biases from mean-field assumptions in carbon cycling.

STK32A is a dual-specificity AGC kinase with a preference for acidic substrates

This study identifies STK32A as a dual-specificity AGC kinase preferring acidic substrates, revealing structural and evolutionary features supporting its substrate specificity.

Septins disruption controls tumor growth and enhances efficacy of Herceptin

The paper develops UR214-9, a compound that disrupts septin filaments in cancer cells, inhibiting growth of HER2+ tumors and enhancing Herceptin efficacy.

Dynamic longitudinal behavior in animals exposed to chronic social defeat stress

The paper examines longitudinal behavioral changes in mice exposed to chronic social defeat stress, identifying four distinct behavioral trajectory groups over time.

Stoichiometric homeostasis of wetland vegetation along a nutrient gradient in a subtropical wetland. Understanding stoichiometric mechanisms of nutrient retention in wetland macrophytes.

This study examines nutrient homeostasis in wetland vegetation along a nutrient gradient, finding that vegetation is non-homeostatic with respect to nitrogen and phosphorus uptake.

Evaluation of nutrient stoichiometric relationships amongst ecosystem compartments of a subtropical treatment wetland. Do we have \"Redfield Wetlands\"?

This study evaluates nutrient stoichiometry in different compartments of subtropical treatment wetlands to assess nutrient cycling and OM decomposition.

Bracketing phenotypic limits of mammalian hybridization

The paper examines hybridization between gray and ringed seals using genetic and morphological analyses to assess phenotypic limits and wild hybridization potential.

Geometric morphometrics of nested symmetries: Hierarchical inter- and intra-individual variation in biological shapes

The paper extends Procrustes ANOVA to analyze nested symmetries in biological shapes, showing higher order rotational symmetry is more developmentally stable than bilateral symmetry.
