Integrated Multi-Omics Data Reveals the Molecular Subtypes of Prostate Cancer

This study identifies molecular subtypes of prostate cancer using multi-omics data and clustering algorithms, revealing distinct clinical and biological features associated with each subtype.

Effect of water temperature on the behavior of Neptunea cumingii and the histology, immune enzyme activity, and transcriptome of its gills and kidneys

This study examines how temperature affects the behavior and molecular responses of Neptunea cumingii, showing significant physiological and transcriptomic changes outside the optimal temperature range of 8–16°C.

Genomic inference of a human super bottleneck in Mid-Pleistocene transition

The paper infers a population super bottleneck in African humans around 930-813 thousand years ago using genomic data and the FitCoal method.

Conserved, divergent and heterochronic gene expression during Brachypodium and Arabidopsis embryo development

This study compares Brachypodium and Arabidopsis embryo development, finding conserved and divergent transcriptional programs with widespread heterochronic gene expression.

Effects of Ca2+ on encystment and growth in Scrippsiella trochoidea

This study examines how varying calcium concentrations affect the growth and encystment of Scrippsiella trochoidea, finding increased cell density and cyst formation at lower calcium levels, with reductions at higher concentrations.

Effects of long-term closed environment on human saliva microbiota and salivary cytokines

This study examines how a controlled closed environment affects human saliva microbiota and cytokines, finding stable microbial communities and reduced inflammatory markers.

Rapid detection of cytochrome cd1-containing nitrite reductase encoding gene nirS with loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay

This paper develops a LAMP assay for rapid detection of the nirS gene in denitrifying bacteria, showing high specificity and sensitivity compared to conventional PCR.

Tumor Immunity Microenvironment-based classifications of bladder cancer for enhancing cancer immunotherapy

This study classifies bladder cancer patients into immune and non-immune groups using NMF and NTP algorithms, finding immune-activated patients respond better to anti-PD-1 therapy.

Species packing and the latitudinal gradient in beta-diversity

The paper tests whether beta-diversity contributes to the latitudinal gradient in species richness by analyzing tree species data across East Asia.

Immune Response Drives Outcomes in Prostate Cancer: Implications for Immunotherapy

This study identifies an immune class in prostate cancer associated with better recurrence-free survival and response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.

Foundation species across a latitudinal gradient in China

The paper identifies candidate foundation species in Chinese forests across a latitudinal gradient and finds they are more common in temperate zones than in tropical or boreal regions.

Growth phase-dependent responses of an in vitro gut microbiome to metformin

This study shows that metformin affects in vitro gut microbiota differently depending on when it is added during growth phases, with the log phase showing the strongest impact on growth and functional changes.
