The paper provides a guide on using colored SEM to visualize and characterize pathological calcification and evaluates sample preparation protocols.

This study identifies consistent interictal patterns in human periventricular nodular heterotopia, showing their association with seizure generation and epileptogenicity.

The paper reports high prevalence of AA-amyloidosis in sheltered cats, linking shelter stay duration to disease severity and identifying SAA as the causative protein.

This study characterizes the Wsm2 resistance locus in wheat, identifying structural variation and candidate genes associated with resistance to Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus.

The paper analyzes salivary levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF across age groups and finds they decrease with age, influenced by dietary fatty acids.

This study shows that dietary corn oil and chia oil alter endocannabinoid system components in rat submandibular glands, with corn oil increasing 2-arachidonylglycerol and CB1 receptors, while chia oil decreases CB2 receptors.

This study shows that Angptl2 in vascular smooth muscle cells promotes abdominal aortic aneurysm development under inflammation.

This study uses hit-and-run silencing to suppress DUX4 in FSHD patient-derived iPSCs by targeting DNA hypomethylation on D4Z4 repeats, achieving sustained suppression for at least two weeks.

This study shows dietary αKG inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection and reduces lung inflammation and thrombosis in animals, restoring oxygen saturation.

This study develops a mathematical model of the incompatible insect technique (IIT) with Wolbachia to control malaria, showing it can effectively reduce disease transmission even with contamination.

This paper presents a deep learning system for prostate cancer detection in whole slide images and uses occlusion-based explainability to identify key histomorphological features used for classification.

This study uses single cell and spatial transcriptomics to identify microglia-plasma cell interactions in the mouse brain during chronic T. brucei infection.

This study shows that increasing MBOAT7 expression in mice with NASH does not significantly improve liver histology, likely due to low arachidonoyl-CoA substrate levels.

This study investigates whether prior SARS-CoV-2 infection affects influenza disease severity in ferrets, finding mild increased symptoms but no major histopathological changes.

This study shows hyperuricemia induces renal tubular epithelial pyroptosis via ROS-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation in cultured cells and rat models.

This study identifies and characterizes DacM, a diadenylate cyclase in Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae that produces c-di-AMP, and presents its crystal structures to inform drug design.

This study identifies HERV activation in BA livers and shows it re-educates macrophages, impairing neutrophil recruitment and causing liver damage, suggesting therapeutic targets.

The paper reinterprets cystic liver lesions in cetaceans as Budd-Chiari-like syndrome caused by gas bubbles and pre-existing vascular disorders, not acoustic trauma.

The paper introduces a class-controlled copy-paste augmentation method to address class imbalance in histopathology cell segmentation, improving metrics for underrepresented classes.
