Viability Discrimination of Bacterial Microbiomes in Home Kitchen Dish Sponges via Propidium Monoazide Treatment

This study uses propidium monoazide treatment and 16S rRNA sequencing to distinguish viable from non-viable bacterial pathogens in dish sponges, finding multiple viable foodborne pathogens in all tested sponges.

Gut microbiota and age shape susceptibility to clostridial enteritis in lorikeets under human care

The paper identifies gut microbiota and age factors associated with susceptibility to clostridial enteritis in lorikeets using 16S rRNA sequencing and machine learning models.

Sex- and context-dependent effects of acute isolation on vocal and non-vocal social behaviors in mice

This study examines how acute isolation affects vocal and non-vocal social behaviors in male and female mice during same-sex and opposite-sex interactions, finding stronger effects in females.

DNA origami patterning of synthetic T cell receptors reveals spatial control of the sensitivity and kinetics of signal activation

The paper uses DNA origami to pattern synthetic T cell receptors and shows how spatial arrangement affects signaling sensitivity and kinetics.

Tmed2 regulates Smoothened trafficking and Hedgehog signalling

This study identifies Tmed2 as a regulator of Smoothened trafficking and Hedgehog signaling, showing its role in controlling signaling strength during neural differentiation.

Transcriptomic responses of the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus to viral lysis products

This study investigates how viral lysis products affect the transcriptome of Prochlorococcus, revealing changes in tRNA abundance, nitrogen metabolism, and photosynthetic efficiency.

An integrative systems biology and experimental approach identifies convergence of epithelial plasticity, metabolism, and autophagy to promote chemoresistance
