AlveolEye: Rapid and precise lung morphometry guided by computer vision

AlveolEye improves lung morphometry by using computer vision to rapidly and reproducibly calculate MLI and ASVD from H&E images, reducing variability and increasing precision across observers.

Discovery of Mycodnaviridae, a clade of giant viruses that persistently infect zoosporic fungi

The paper discovers a new family of giant viruses, Mycodnaviridae, that infect zoosporic fungi and persistently infect them, expanding the known host range of Nucleocytoviricota.

Hot springs viruses at Yellowstone National Park have ancient origins and are adapted to their thermophilic hosts.

The paper analyzes viruses from geothermal springs in Yellowstone National Park, finding ancient origins and adaptations to thermophilic hosts in red algae-associated viral communities.

Phylogeny, morphology, virulence, ecology, and host range of Ordospora pajunii (Ordosporidae), a microsporidian symbiont of Daphnia spp.

This paper investigates the impact of Ordospora pajunii on Daphnia hosts, finding low virulence and context-dependent effects, and identifies it as a valuable model for studying mutualism-parasitism shifts.

Distribution of the gyromitrin mycotoxin in the lorchel family assessed by a pre-column-derivatization and ultra high-performance liquid chromatography method

The paper detects gyromitrin in multiple lorchel species using a derivatization method and phylogenetic analysis, showing its distribution is discontinuous and limited.

Arginine-vasopressin mediates counter-regulatory glucagon release and is diminished in type 1 diabetes

This study identifies arginine-vasopressin as a systemic regulator of glucagon secretion, showing its role in counter-regulatory responses to hypoglycemia and its impairment in type 1 diabetes.

Global analysis reveals complex demographic responses of mammals to climate change

The paper analyzes how climate change affects mammal demographics globally, finding that most species experience mixed demographic responses with some rates increasing and others declining.
