A parasitoid overcomes collective defense by silencing host communication

This paper shows that the parasitoid wasp Ephedrus lacertosus uses venom proteins to suppress aphid alarm pheromone release, disrupting collective defense.

Climate Warming Patterns Predict Potential Residency Shifts

The paper predicts climate-driven residency shifts in wetland wading birds using an individual-based model and habitat suitability analysis.

Glycogen Engineering Improves the Starvation Resistance of Mesenchymal stem cells and their Therapeutic Efficacy in Pulmonary Fibrosis

This study engineers glycogen metabolism in mesenchymal stem cells to improve their survival during starvation and therapeutic efficacy in pulmonary fibrosis.

Differences in external loads of different pitch types in Chinese male college baseball players

This study compares external loads of different pitch types in Chinese male college baseball players and finds that variable-speed pitches generate higher peak loads while fastballs correlate with greater ball speed.

Genetic interactions among Ghd7, Ghd7.1, Ghd8 and Hd1 contribute to large variation in heading date in rice

This study investigates genetic interactions among four heading date genes in rice under different photoperiod conditions and finds their impact on heading date and yield.

The probiotic effectiveness in experimental colitis is correlated with gut microbiome and host genetic features

This study shows that probiotic effectiveness in experimental colitis varies with individual microbiome and host genetic features, particularly TLR2.
