This paper develops a 3D-printable, cytocompatible hydrogel from Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 extracellular matrix, demonstrating its versatility for biofabrication.

This study evaluates a bivalent GPCMV vaccine and finds it provides limited cross-strain protection due to impaired gB antibody response and evasion of pp65 cell-mediated immunity.

This study uses a zebrafish model of Marfan syndrome to identify potential therapies through a high-throughput drug screen and luminescence-based phenotyping.

The paper identifies non-canonical UbiA-type terpene synthase gene clusters in red algae, showing they produce bisabolene and address a biosynthetic puzzle.

This study uses metabolomics to analyze 474 subjects with inborn errors of metabolism, identifying genotype-specific metabolic alterations and providing diagnostic tools and a database of metabolomic features.

This paper develops CMD-coated magnetic nanoparticles for delivering CRISPR RNPs, demonstrating efficient genome editing in cell lines and a skin disorder model.

This study optimizes the purification of Meis1 and HoxA9 proteins and characterizes their DNA-binding and cooperative interactions.

This study characterizes Arabidopsis AMY3, showing it preferentially hydrolyzes amylose over amylopectin and identifies a unique duplex carbohydrate-binding module involved in dimerization.

The paper investigates how ZEB85 activates TrkB by identifying a sulfotyrosine motif essential for agonist activation, while BDNF uses a different binding site.

The paper examines diet-oral microbiome associations using metagenomic data from 5,824 participants, finding shared microbial signatures across dietary patterns.

CountAnywhere provides a smartphone-based tool for accurate and efficient cell counting and viability assessment using hemocytometer images.

The paper measures H2 exchange in green microalgae after dark anoxia and finds that first illumination produces higher H2 rates than subsequent ones, with strain-specific variation.

This study uses in utero MRI and computational models to show that radial glial fibers influence fetal cortical folding through biomechanical modulation.

The paper develops flowMagic, a machine learning tool for automated flow cytometry gating trained on expert data and citizen science gaming annotations, achieving high accuracy in cell population identification.

This study shows that predictive language processing during reading relies on executive resources, especially under cognitive load, and is dynamically coupled with working memory.

The paper examines how neural and bodily responses during emotional video viewing relate to valence and arousal ratings, finding distinct brain and body signal patterns and temporal dynamics.

The paper investigates drift in human EEG responses to images across sessions, finding coordinated drift along image identity dimensions and preserved global structure.

This study shows that matrix stiffness influences breast cancer cell dormancy states, with soft matrices inducing transient dormancy and stiff matrices causing prolonged dormancy.

The paper designs synthetic scaffold proteins that form cell-cell interfaces with switch-like condensation behaviors, enabling selective and specific intercellular interactions.

The paper investigates how NFκB (RelA/p50) achieves high-affinity binding to partial consensus DNA sequences through structural rearrangements and dynamic interactions.
