This study identifies and characterizes FvCPK28, a strawberry ortholog of Arabidopsis CPK28, showing it retains similar biochemical and biological functions.

The paper reports the structure of a peroxisomal import channel and shows how it adapts to transport proteins of different sizes.

The paper investigates the mechanism of peptide modifications by DybH and ChrH enzymes, identifying key steps in macrocyclization and heterocycle formation through mutational analysis.

This study identifies a conserved post-embryonic gene network in teleost fish that is responsive to thyroid hormone and ecological variation, showing how it evolves through gene copy number changes.

This study identifies naphthocyclinones as antibiotics produced by Streptomyces hederae in wild bee nests, mediating bacterial competition and showing potential against Paenibacillus larvae.

The paper examines phytoplankton beta diversity in Kenyan waterpans across seasons and land use, finding that genus replacement and weak spatial structure drive diversity patterns, with nutrient levels and cyanobacteria playing key roles in the dry season.

The paper identifies novel ciliary microtubule-associated proteins using BioID proximity labeling and proteomics, expanding the known repertoire of ciliary MAPs.

The paper identifies a novel neural code in the mouse medial frontal cortex that supports spatial generalization through extrapolation of coordinates across regions.

The paper shows that community performance curves predict temporal stability of ecological communities despite species interactions.

This study shows that adding hairpins to DNA tetrahedra increases their nuclease resistance, enhancing biostability through sequence-specific stabilization.

The paper uses discrete-time quantum walks to predict critical residues in proteins involved in long-range interactions, validated experimentally on AsLOV2.

This study links the FREM3 gene to brain and cognitive aging using cross-species evidence from mice and humans, showing reduced brain volume and cognitive performance in Frem3 knockout mice and lower FREM3-GReX associated with reduced brain surface area and cognitive performance in humans.

The paper provides high-resolution HLA and MICA/MICB typing for the 1000 Genomes panel, identifying population-specific variants and demonstrating the utility of HLA data for predicting MIC genotypes.

This study uses BONCAT and conventional proteomics to identify infection-associated secreted proteins of Acinetobacter baumannii in A549 cells, revealing 152 proteins not detected in axenic cultures.

This paper introduces K-Fold, a method that improves prediction of conformational changes in protein complexes by modeling structural transitions from unbound to bound states.

This paper develops a multiscale framework linking pharmacokinetics and Boolean models to study ibrutinib resistance in CLL, identifying key regulons and synergistic targets.

The paper examines how urbanization affects dissolved organic matter and microbial networks in a freshwater estuary by analyzing seasonal and spatial gradients.

This study shows that the FA recipient environment after HCT causes metabolic, redox, and epigenetic changes in donor-derived hematopoietic cells, even when donor chimerism is stable.

This study shows that restored plant populations of Galium wirtgenii adapted to earlier mowing by flowering earlier, indicating a heritable evolutionary response.
