Concurrent measurement of O2 and isoprene production during photosynthesis: pros, cons, and metabolic implications

A leaf gas-exchange system measures net oxygen production and isoprene emissions during photosynthesis, revealing a linear correlation between net CO2 exchange and oxygen production with a consistent assimilatory quotient.

A weaponized phage suppresses competitors in historical and modern metapopulations of pathogenic bacteria

The paper identifies a tailocin, a phage-derived element, used by Pseudomonas spp. to suppress competitors in metapopulations, showing its persistence over 170 years.

A mechanistic model for nuclear migration in hyphae during mitosis

The paper develops a mechanistic model explaining how nuclei migrate through hyphae during mitosis in fungi, showing that dynein activity on astral microtubules is critical for timely migration.

Mechanics of MTOC clustering and spindle positioning in budding yeast Cryptococcus neoformans

The paper investigates MTOC clustering and spindle positioning in Cryptococcus neoformans using a search and capture model and computational simulations.

A negative feedback loop between Insulin-like Growth Factor signaling and the lncRNA SNHG7 tightly regulates transcript levels and proliferation

The paper shows IGF1 signaling down-regulates SNHG7, a lncRNA that promotes breast cancer cell proliferation and modulates IGF1 signaling through a feedback mechanism, with SNHG7 overexpression linked to poor patient outcomes.
