The effects of sport-specific training on individuals action strategies while avoiding a virtual player approaching on a 45{o} angle while completing a secondary task

This study examines if sport-specific training improves collision avoidance in virtual reality, finding athletes perform better on secondary tasks but show more variable avoidance behaviors.

Detecting, mapping, and suppressing the spread of a decade-long Pseudomonas aeruginosa nosocomial outbreak with genomics

This study uses genomics to trace a long-term Pseudomonas aeruginosa hospital outbreak, identifies transmission routes, and shows how infection control measures reduced spread.

Endocrine pancreas-specific Gclc gene deletion causes a severe diabetes phenotype

This study shows that deleting the Gclc gene in the endocrine pancreas of mice leads to severe diabetes due to oxidative stress and islet dysfunction.

Retrograde mitochondrial signaling governs the identity and maturity of metabolic tissues

This study shows that mitochondrial dysfunction triggers a retrograde signaling program that reduces cellular maturity in metabolic tissues, and blocking this signaling can restore cell identity and improve hyperglycemia.

The IL-33-ILC2 pathway protects from amebic colitis

This study shows that the IL-33-ILC2 pathway protects against amebic colitis by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair in mice.

Mitophagy protects beta cells from inflammatory damage in diabetes

This study shows mitophagy protects beta cells from inflammatory damage in diabetes by reducing mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death.

Gut microbiome communication with bone marrow regulates susceptibility to amebiasis

The paper shows that introducing Clostridium scindens into the gut microbiota epigenetically alters bone marrow and provides protection against Entamoeba histolytica infection.

Early life maturation of human visual system white matter is altered by monocular enucleation

This study examines structural brain changes in children who underwent monocular enucleation before age 3, finding altered white matter microstructure in visual pathways by ages 8-12.

Evolutionary Dynamics Do Not Motivate a Single-Mutant Theory of Human Language

The paper analyzes the evolutionary dynamics of the Chomskyan single-mutant theory of language and finds it unlikely due to probabilistic constraints.

Evolving building blocks of rhythm: How human cognition creates music via cultural transmission

The paper investigates how individual cognitive biases influence the cultural transmission of musical rhythm through experiments and modeling.
