Simulation-based dosimetry of transcranial and intranasal photobiomodulation of the human brain: the roles of wavelength, power density and skin colour

This study uses Monte Carlo simulations to investigate how wavelength, power density, and skin colour affect light penetration and energy accumulation in transcranial and intranasal photobiomodulation of the human brain.

Inhibition of the macrophage demethylase LSD1 reverses Leishmania amazonensis-induced transcriptomic changes and causes a decrease in parasite load

This study shows that inhibiting LSD1 in macrophages reduces Leishmania parasite load and reverses infection-induced transcriptomic changes.

An oxadiazole-based compound potentiates anti- tuberculosis treatment by increasing host resistance via zinc poisoning

The paper identifies oxadiazole-based compounds that enhance anti-tuberculosis treatment by increasing host resistance through zinc poisoning of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

AXL-TBK1 driven nuclear AKT3 promotes metastasis

This study identifies AXL-TBK1-driven nuclear AKT3 as a driver of EMT and metastasis, showing that selective AKT3 inhibition reduces tumor progression in breast cancer.

Partial resistance to HDAC inhibitors in FAPs of dystrophic muscles at late stages of disease is associated to epigenetic and transcriptional features of cellular senescence.

This study shows that HDAC inhibitors are less effective in late-stage DMD muscle FAPs due to senescence-related epigenetic changes that resist reversal.

Long-range sequential dependencies precede complex syntactic production in language acquisition

The paper shows that long-range statistical dependencies in language precede complex syntax and are also present in non-linguistic behaviors across species.

Does juvenile Baltic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) smell the enemy?

This study tests if juvenile Baltic sturgeon can detect predator odors, finding no innate recognition ability and suggesting future research should include predator odors and alarm substances.
