Engineering self-propelled tumor-infiltrating CAR T cells using synthetic velocity receptors

This paper develops velocity receptors (VRs) to enhance CAR T cell migration through solid tumors, improving tumor infiltration and survival.

Functional and metagenomic level diversities of human gut symbiont-derived glycolipids

The paper investigates the functional and metagenomic diversity of glycolipids produced by gut symbionts, revealing distinct biosynthetic pathways and immune-modulatory roles of different microbial species.

Vibrio tarriae sp. nov., a novel member of the Cholerae clade isolated from across the United States

The paper describes the discovery and characterization of a novel Vibrio species, Vibrio tarriae, based on genetic, phylogenetic, and phenotypic analyses of isolates from the United States.

Plant biomechanics and resilience to environmental changes are controlled by specific lignin chemistries in each vascular cell type and morphotype

The paper investigates how specific lignin chemistries in different vascular cell morphotypes affect biomechanics and water conduction, showing that changes in lignin composition alter cell wall properties and resilience to environmental stress.

Seasonal changes in diet and toxicity in the Climbing Mantella frog (Mantella laevigata)

This study examines how seasonal environmental changes affect the diet and toxin profiles of Climbing Mantella frogs, finding seasonal differences in diet composition and toxin abundance.
