The Mouse Epididymal Amyloid Matrix: A Mammalian Counterpart of a Bacterial Biofilm

The paper identifies the mouse epididymal amyloid matrix as a structural and functional analog of bacterial biofilms, protecting spermatozoa through components like eDNA, eRNA, and mucin-like polysaccharides.

TSC22D, WNK and NRBP gene families exhibit functional buffering and evolved with Metazoa for macromolecular crowd sensing

This study identifies functional relationships between TSC22D, WNK, and NRBP gene families in macromolecular crowding sensing and cell volume regulation across metazoans.

Hypoxia driven oncometabolite L-2HG maintains "stemness"-differentiation balance and facilitates immune suppression in pancreatic cancer

This study shows hypoxia drives L-2HG production in pancreatic tumors, maintaining stemness-differentiation balance and promoting immune suppression, with LDH inhibition reversing these effects.

Test Agreement Between Roche Cobas 6800 and Cepheid GeneXpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 Assays at High Cycle Threshold Ranges

This study compares the agreement between Roche Cobas 6800 and Cepheid GeneXpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 assays at high cycle threshold values, finding close agreement despite high variability.

Harmonizing semantic annotations for computational models in biology

The paper analyzes semantic annotation practices in the COMBINE community and proposes recommendations for a consensus protocol to improve interoperability of computational models in biology.
