Ancient biomolecular analysis of 39 mammoth individuals from Kostenki 11-Ia elucidates Upper Palaeolithic human resource use

The paper analyzes biomolecular data from 39 mammoth individuals to understand Upper Palaeolithic human resource use, finding no sex-based foraging differences in Late Pleistocene megafauna.

Social learning of a challenging two-step action sequence fulfils key criteria of cumulative culture in an insect

This study shows bumblebees can socially learn a complex two-step action sequence they cannot independently discover, fulfilling criteria for cumulative culture in insects.

Discovery of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles with slow-action activity against Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites

The paper identifies new antiplasmodial compounds with slow-action activity but highlights pharmacokinetic limitations for in vivo efficacy.

Synchronisation of apical constriction and cell cycle progression is a conserved behaviour of pseudostratified neuroepithelia informed by their tissue geometry

This study shows that neuroepithelial cells synchronize apical constriction with cell cycle progression, but the timing of constriction is influenced by tissue geometry in different regions of the neural tube.

Genetic exchange in Leishmania is facilitated by IgM natural antibodies

This study shows IgM antibodies facilitate Leishmania genetic hybridization in vitro and in vivo, leading to full genome hybrids and increased genetic exchange.

Combining δ13C and δ15N from bone and dentine in marine mammal palaeoecological research: insights from toothed whales

The paper provides correction factors to align δ13C and δ15N values from bone and dentine collagen in narwhals and belugas for paleoecological analysis.

The type and source of reactive oxygen species influences the outcome of oxidative stress in cultured cells

This study shows that different reactive oxygen species sources elicit distinct cellular responses to oxidative stress, with varying impacts on stress response mechanisms and adaptive changes.

Heme dependent transcriptional regulation of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa tandem sRNA prrF1,F2 locus by the cytoplasmic heme binding protein PhuS

This study shows PhuS regulates heme-dependent transcription of the prrF1,F2 sRNA locus in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, linking heme metabolism to virulence.

Missense mutations in the MLKL brace region lead to lethal neonatal inflammation in mice and are present in high frequency in humans.

This study identifies a missense mutation in MLKL causing lethal neonatal inflammation in mice and links it to increased frequency in human autoinflammatory disease.
