This study investigates the pathogenesis of 'double scale' defects in American alligators, linking them to zinc deficiency and liver fibrosis caused by portal hypertension and chronic vitamin A toxicity.

This paper develops an automatic tool for Parkinson's Disease detection using synthetic staining and deep learning, achieving >90% accuracy on single 1000um brain regions.

The paper identifies three distinct brain maturational subtypes in youth with mood and anxiety disorders using neuroimaging data, showing differences in cortical-subcortical maturation and cognitive function.

This study shows that cardiomyocyte alpha-1A adrenergic receptors reduce post-infarct mortality and remodeling by limiting necroptosis, with clinical evidence linking beta-blocker use to increased MI mortality.

This study uses graph neural networks to improve TIL classification on whole slide images by leveraging contextual features from immunofluorescence labeling.

The paper investigates the genetic basis of Arabidopsis thaliana's adaptive response to Pseudomonas syringae under climate change by identifying polygenic traits and QTL regions associated with disease resistance.

This study examines the dynamics of citrus greasy spot caused by Zasmidium citri-griseum in Panama, linking defoliation, inoculum production, and environmental factors to inform sustainable disease management.

This study identifies impaired SR Ca2+ signaling and disrupted ion channel activity in Col4a1 mutant mice as contributors to age-related cerebral small vessel disease.

This study identifies TERT's non-canonical role in osteogenic reprogramming of aortic valve cells through STAT5, offering a potential therapeutic target for calcific aortic valve disease.

This study demonstrates the detection of Trypanosoma vivax in formalin-fixed tissues of experimentally infected sheep using immunohistochemical techniques with polyclonal antibodies.

This study identifies resistance to banana bunchy top virus in wild Musa balbisiana accessions, showing they remain symptomless and PCR-negative in both greenhouse and field conditions.

This study evaluates the sensitivity and specificity of the POC-CCA test for detecting livestock schistosomiasis in Senegal, finding variable performance by parasite species and location.

This study shows that fibronectin-integrin α5 signaling drives thoracic aortic aneurysms in Marfan syndrome mice, with a 5/2 chimera mutation reducing aneurysm severity.

The paper screens lentil germplasm for Fusarium wilt resistance and identifies novel RGA genes, which may be used to develop markers for functional resistance genes.

This study shows that bempedoic acid reduces cyst growth in ADPKD cells and mice, and combining it with tolvaptan enhances therapeutic effects.

This paper describes pathological findings in a bovine fetus naturally infected with BoPyV-1, demonstrating its pathogenicity and potential to cause renal lesions similar to human polyomavirus-associated nephropathy.

The paper correlates ultrasonographic and elastography features with histological METAVIR scores in hepatitis C liver fibrosis using image composition.

This study investigates whether tau pathology precedes dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinsonism by comparing groups with and without synucleinopathy.

This study shows that high-dose African-lineage Zika virus infection in late first trimester pregnant rhesus macaques causes frequent fetal loss.
