This study identifies immunoregulatory dendritic cells in brain tumor draining lymph nodes and shows OX40 can target them to improve immunotherapy.

Identification of Thioredoxin1 interacting proteins in neuronal cytoskeletal organization during autophagy

The paper identifies 77 Trx1-interacting proteins in primary neurons during autophagy, highlighting their role in cytoskeletal organization and suggesting a novel function for Trx1 in neuronal health.

Hepatocyte PPARγ contributes to the progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in male and female obese mice.

This study shows that hepatocyte PPARγ contributes to NASH progression in obese mice and is linked to methionine metabolism and fibrosis.

The response of culturally important plants to experimental warming and grazing in Pakistan Himalayas

This study examines how warming and grazing affect medicinal plants in the Pakistan Himalayas, finding warming increases plant cover and biomass while grazing reduces it, with implications for local communities.

Inferring punctuated evolution in the learned songs of African sunbirds

The paper shows that learned songs in African sunbirds evolve in punctuated bursts with long periods of stasis, suggesting strong selection constraints on song evolution.
