The strength of sexual signals predicts same-sex paring in termites

This study shows that stronger sex pheromones in termites lead to more same-sex pairing, while weaker pheromones result in more accidental same-sex interactions.

Pharmacogenetic variation in Neanderthals and Denisovans and implications for human health and response to medications

The paper examines pharmacogenetic variation in Neanderthals and Denisovans and identifies potential functional differences in drug-metabolizing genes between archaic and modern humans.

Coordination of movement via complementary interactions of leaders and followers in termite mating pairs

The paper studies movement coordination in termite mating pairs, showing that species-specific pheromone responses and information flow shape stable pairings despite differences in pheromone production.

Molecular mapping of qBK1Z, a major QTL for bakanae disease resistance in rice

This study identifies a major QTL, qBK1Z, for bakanae disease resistance in rice using QTL mapping in recombinant inbred lines derived from a resistant and susceptible variety.

M. leprae infects human keratinocytes via the interaction of laminin-5 with α-dystroglycan, integrin-β1, or -β4.

This study shows M. leprae infects keratinocytes by binding to LN-5 in the epidermal basement membrane via receptors like α-dystroglycan, integrin-β1, or -β4.
