TBX15 regulates a network of immune response genes in adipose tissue and alters fat mass and depot weight in heterozygous knockout mice

Global trends in biodiversity and ecosystem services from 1900 to 2050

The paper assesses historical and future trends in biodiversity and ecosystem services from 1900 to 2050, finding that biodiversity and regulating services have decreased while provisioning services increased, with climate change expected to worsen future losses.

The Role of Sex in the Effects of Smoking and Nicotine in Cardiovascular Function, Atherosclerosis, and Inflammation

This study investigates sex-specific effects of cigarette smoke and nicotine on cardiovascular function, atherosclerosis, and inflammation in mice, finding sex differences in lipid profiles, plaque composition, and inflammatory markers.

EpiFusion: Joint inference of the effective reproduction number by integrating phylodynamic and epidemiological modelling with particle filtering

EpiFusion improves estimation of outbreak dynamics by integrating phylodynamic and epidemiological data using particle filtering, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in large, poorly sampled epidemics.

Valuing carbon sequestration by Antarctic krill faecal pellets

This study quantifies the carbon sequestration potential of Antarctic krill faecal pellets, showing they sequester 20 Mt C annually, comparable to coastal blue carbon systems.

Targeted Bacteriophage T4 Nanoparticles Reverse HIV-1 Latency in CD4+ Human T Cells

The paper shows that CD4-targeted bacteriophage T4 nanoparticles reactivate HIV-1 latency in CD4+ T-cells without global activation or cytokine storm.

Molecular epidemiology of peste des petits ruminants virus emergence in critically endangered Mongolian saiga antelope and other wild ungulates

This study sequences PPRV genomes from Mongolian wildlife and livestock to trace the virus's spread and adaptation, finding undetected circulation before outbreaks and potential livestock-to-wildlife transmission.

Commercial fishery disturbance of the global open-ocean carbon sink

The paper examines how commercial fishing impacts the global open-ocean carbon sink by analyzing overlaps between fishing effort and carbon export zones.

Monitoring ligand-induced changes in receptor conformation with NanoBiT conjugated nanobodies

The paper uses nanobodies conjugated with NanoBiT to monitor ligand-induced conformational changes in the CXCR4 receptor.

Photosynthesis and crop productivity is enhanced by glucose-functionalized fluorescent carbon dots

The paper demonstrates that glucose-functionalized fluorescent carbon dots enhance photosynthesis and crop productivity in wheat by improving nanoparticle uptake, photoprotection, and pigment production.

Land-use and related pressures have reduced biotic integrity more on islands than on mainlands

The paper updates the Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII) to assess biotic integrity changes on islands versus mainlands, finding that islands have experienced greater declines in richness-based BII due to human pressures.
