This study evaluates the feasibility of using a non-invasive anterior abdominal electrode array for measuring uterine contractions across the menstrual cycle through simulation and experiment.

This study identifies KNL1 as a key driver of chromosomal instability and immune evasion in HCC through integrative bioinformatics and CRISPR-Cas9 experiments.

The paper shows that rigid tissue environments enhance DNA repair efficiency and may contribute to cancer risk by promoting survival of damaged cells.

The paper investigates how bottom-heaviness in pelagic fish eggs affects their motion in fluid flows, showing that it generates relative motion and enhances transport beyond diffusion.

This study shows that heterogeneous primary nucleation at surfaces determines the fibril structure of Aβ42, with different structures formed in identical solutions depending on the surface type.

The paper identifies a polarity circuit in guard cells that determines stomatal pore position through MUS and OPL2 interactions, revealing a mechanism for coordinated cellular asymmetry.

QC-espresso provides an automated quality-control workflow for DIA proteomics data, generating structured reports to assess acquisition quality and quantitative reliability.

The paper designs functional transcriptional activation domains using machine learning and experimental validation, finding that over 90% of predicted sequences work in yeast.

This study shows that NMD deficiency in Arabidopsis leads to biphasic heat tolerance, with initial tolerance due to transcriptome priming and later sensitivity linked to reduced HsfA2 function and altered gene expression.

The paper shows that single-molecule bouncing at a presynaptic interface enables protein enrichment without slowing diffusion.

This study identifies SFA1's role in coordinating cytoskeletal organisation, apical polarity, and cell replication during Plasmodium sexual development, showing its necessity for parasite transmission.

This study shows that genetic background strongly influences bone response to mechanical loading in mice, with high heritability and correlations with osteocyte lacunar morphology.

The paper generates a multi-tissue RNA-seq atlas of adult medaka under salinity and seasonal contrasts to study gene-expression plasticity and comparative biology.

This study uses CRISPRi-seq to identify essential genes affecting aminoglycoside susceptibility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, revealing gene-specific fitness effects and potential targets for antibiotic enhancement.

This study uses ancient environmental DNA to show how whaling and climate change impacted Antarctic marine biodiversity over two centuries.

This study identifies distinct transcriptional signatures in the prefrontal cortex of Alzheimer's disease patients compared to asymptomatic amyloid pathology and controls, highlighting neuropeptide loss, immune activation, and glial remodeling.

The paper analyzes diversity in Ediacaran Avalon assemblage communities, finding that alpha diversity is more influenced by local assembly than broader environmental factors.

This study characterizes the spatiotemporal proliferative response of endothelial cells in acute liver injury and introduces a novel pipeline for analyzing hepatic cell states.

This study identifies DCP5 as a key regulator of circadian RNA stability in Arabidopsis by modulating the decay of high-amplitude clock-controlled genes.

This paper introduces NORIGAMI, a multi-omics pipeline that combines imaging and deep learning to analyze kidney aging, revealing age-related structural and molecular changes.
