Multicomponent depolymerization of actin filament pointed ends by cofilin and cyclase-associated protein depends upon filament age

This study shows cofilin and CAP promote depolymerization of ADP-Pi actin filaments, though at lower rates than ADP filaments, suggesting new pathways for actin filament disassembly.

Leveraging Soil Mapping and Machine Learning to Improve Spatial Adjustments in Plant Breeding Trials

The paper compares spatial adjustment methods in plant breeding trials, finding that XGBoost improves yield estimates by incorporating soil feature modeling at different scales.

The NLRP3 inflammasome selectively drives IL-1β secretion by Pseudomonas aeruginosa infected neutrophils and regulates bacterial killing in vivo

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses ExoS to redirect neutrophil inflammasome signaling from NLRC4 to NLRP3, enhancing bacterial killing and reducing disease severity in mice.
