A quantum state of mitochondria in the living cell

The paper demonstrates a quantum state of mitochondria in living cells that modulates ATP production through a 71.0-THz oscillation mode linked to light-lipid coupling in mitochondrial cristae.

A Rapid and Highly Sensitive CRISPR Assay Utilizing Cas12a Orthologs for the Detection of Novel Duck Reovirus

This paper develops a CRISPR-based assay using Cas12a orthologs for detecting NDRV S3 gene with high sensitivity and visual detection capability.

Transcriptomic splicing analysis reveals a gene-independent form of TE reactivation in tumors representing unrecognized source of oncogenes and neoantigens

This paper identifies TEtrans, gene-independent transcripts from transposable elements in tumors, which act as oncogenes and neoantigens, expanding the role of TEs in cancer.

RIPK3-dependent sequential recruitment of MLKL and RIPK1 drives PANoptotic cell death and chemokine production

This study identifies a RIPK3-dependent PANoptosome assembly mechanism that integrates pyroptotic, apoptotic, and necroptotic pathways, driving immunogenic cell death and chemokine production.

HBA Copy Number and Kidney Disease Risk among Black Americans: a Longitudinal Cohort Study

This study examines the association between HBA copy number and kidney disease risk in Black Americans, finding higher HBA copy number linked to increased CKD prevalence and ESKD incidence.

Local Polyploidy Phenomenon in Escherichia coli and its significance in genetic engineering

The paper demonstrates local polyploidy in E. coli through CRISPR/Cas9 deletions, showing a cell can have multiple genotypes in different replication forks, with implications for genetic engineering.
