The paper compares gut microbiomes of Yanomami populations with varying urban influence and a Belgian urban cohort, finding urban-associated features and shifts in microbial composition and function.

This study shows that antifungal selection in yeast varies with drug dose and combination, leading to distinct genomic responses and resistance mechanisms.

This study shows that acetylation of NPM1 at Lys27 and Lys54 promotes its anchoring in the nucleolus by enhancing liquid-liquid phase separation.

This study assesses how neck muscle strength and cervical viscoelasticity affect brain motion, intracranial pressure, and axonal strain during head impacts.

The paper identifies Fe availability as a key factor in rhizospheric pH perception in rice through JA-auxin crosstalk.

The paper identifies novel interactors of TREML1 and TREML2 using proteomics, highlighting their roles in lipid trafficking and immunity.

This paper demonstrates the stabilization of gas in aqueous environments using metal-organic frameworks to enable persistent acoustic transduction for long-term ultrasound-biological interfacing.

The paper isolates and characterizes compost-derived bacteria, identifies a candidate bioinoculant, and shows its effects on tomato physiology and leaf metabolism.

The paper proposes Societal Safety Levels (SSLs) to complement Biosafety Levels (BSLs) by setting quantitative thresholds for expected public fatalities from laboratory research on pandemic pathogens.

This study uses electromagnetic induction to measure crop root function in the field, showing it can accurately predict water use and root traits across different genotypes and row spacings.

This study shows that eIF5A facilitates efficient translation of high codon-optimal chaperones under heat stress, enhancing proteostasis and heat resistance in yeast.

This study develops a miniaturized metabologenomics workflow for high-throughput actinomycetes screening, identifying seven isolates active against MRSA and Enterococcus faecium.

This paper demonstrates SonoRopi, a noninvasive method using ultrasound to transiently inhibit brain function in mice and rats.

The paper introduces MutQA, a cross-validated Q&A dataset linking genetic mutations to their functional consequences, and demonstrates its utility in improving LLM performance.

The paper introduces IgScope, a language model for antibody humanness scoring at multiple resolutions, showing improved accuracy over existing methods and revealing issues with generative models.

This study identifies diverse RNA viruses and viroid-like elements in Arctic tundra soils during wintertime using metatranscriptomics, revealing active viral communities and host interactions.

The paper uses yeast surface display to show that AtIGP1 recognizes laminaribiose but not longer MLG-derived oligosaccharides, and that this recognition triggers immune responses in planta.

This study examines how marine prokaryotes respond transcriptionally to Fe-rich colloids from glacial and non-glacial sources, revealing contrasting growth and metabolic responses.

This study shows that the Yki:Tai interaction in Drosophila germline niche escort cells regulates BMP signaling and maintains stem cell fate by controlling Dpp ligand spread.
