Adaptive diversification through structural variation in barley

This study presents a barley pangenome revealing structural variation linked to traits like disease resistance and plant architecture, highlighting its role in adaptive evolution.

Investigating the genetic control of plant development under speed breeding conditions

This study identifies genetic loci controlling plant development under speed breeding conditions and finds that allelic variation at ELF3 influences flowering and maturity plasticity.

Two birds with one stone: human SIRPα nanobodies for functional modulation and in vivo imaging of myeloid cells

This study develops human SIRPα nanobodies for both functional modulation of myeloid cells and in vivo imaging of tumor infiltration.

Dynamic phytomeric growth contributes to local adaptation in barley

This study shows that domestication in barley extends the apical meristematic phase for node initiation but restricts internode elongation, with genetic factors influencing these processes along latitudinal and longitudinal gradients.

Western diet increases brain metabolism and adaptive immune responses in a mouse model of amyloidosis

An exotic allele of barley EARLY FLOWERING 3 contributes to developmental plasticity at elevated temperatures

This study shows an exotic barley ELF3 allele improves yield stability at high temperatures by altering growth and developmental responses.

IDENTIFYING PLANT GENES SHAPING MICROBIOTA COMPOSITION IN THE BARLEY RHIZOSPHERE

The paper identifies plant genes influencing rhizosphere microbiota composition in barley using metagenomics and RNA-seq.

CALR frameshift mutations in MPN patient-derived iPS cells accelerate maturation of megakaryocytes

This study shows CALR mutations in iPS cells from MPN patients accelerate megakaryocyte maturation and identify hypoxia signaling as a therapeutic target.

Single-domain antibodies for targeting, detection and in vivo imaging of human CD4+ cells

This study develops single-domain antibodies to target and image human CD4+ cells in vivo, demonstrating their utility in immunotherapy monitoring.

Nintedanib Targets KIT D816V Neoplastic Cells Derived from Induced Pluripotent Stem cells of Systemic Mastocytosis

This study identifies nintedanib as a novel KIT D816V inhibitor effective against patient-derived neoplastic mast cells in systemic mastocytosis.
