The paper shows that cryptochrome (CRY) in fruit flies reduces GABAergic inhibition under short days, increasing wakefulness and mirroring SAD hypersomnolence.

The paper reports the first occurrence of the parasitic isopod Braga nasuta in Europe, found on an imported cardinal tetra in a Hungarian public aquarium.

This study evaluates if explainable AI (XAI) improves diagnostic accuracy and confidence in genetic syndrome recognition using facial images, finding mixed results with AI predictions having greater impact than XAI explanations.

The paper discovers a 3'-terminal phosphorothioated mismatch bypass activity by DNA polymerases and demonstrates its use in creating a binary molecular switch.

The paper develops a synthetic immunological niche to monitor islet transplant rejection by capturing immune signatures, identifying distinct rejection patterns and biomarkers.

The paper examines how moisture affects nesting diversity of bees, wasps, and parasitoids in deadwood, finding that lying deadwood has lower diversity due to higher moisture retention.

tangermeme provides tools to interpret deep learning models for cis-regulatory analysis, extracting human-readable insights from genomic predictions.

This study identifies and mitigates protocol-dependent gene expression bias between 3' and 5' scRNA-seq by focusing on a small set of biased genes rather than applying broad normalization.

This paper estimates the completeness of large-scale single-cell sequencing projects using ecological richness metrics applied to cellular diversity data.

The paper characterizes microbial communities and AMR genes in Chennai Metro surfaces, finding distinct profiles and low AMR prevalence.

This study tests mixotrophic fermentation of biomass and syngas, finding reduced CO2 emissions and increased production of C4 and C6 carboxylates.

This study evaluates Elaiophylin's antibacterial activity and biofilm eradication against multidrug-resistant Streptococcus suis, showing significant efficacy in vitro and in a mouse model.

This study shows that porous cactus spines of Turbinicarpus alonsoi collect fog water through hygro-morphing, where spines straighten when exposed to fog, increasing water collection efficiency.

This study characterizes the genomic diversity, host associations, and tissue tropism of Hydrangea ringspot virus (HdRSV) using transcriptomic data from multiple Hydrangea species and cultivars.

This study develops a mouse model of Parkinson's disease by intranasal rotenone administration, showing progressive alpha-synuclein pathology from the olfactory bulb to other brain regions.

This study uses posterior simulation-based calibration to assess phylogenetic dating methods in BEAST 2, finding good calibration but limited precision in node age estimates.

This study uses high-resolution spatial transcriptomics to map fibroblast and neuroimmune microenvironments in endometriosis lesions, identifying spatial cellular interactions linked to pain.

This study compares UV inactivation of bacteria and viruses on surfaces using different lamps, deposition, and extraction methods, finding wavelength and deposition effects on inactivation efficiency.

The paper identifies the molecular mechanism by which low doses of ERK signaling induce specific developmental outcomes in Drosophila embryos.

This study shows that red light exposure reduces SIRT4 in aged mice, enhancing H3K9ac via fatty acid metabolism and mitigating cellular aging.
