Impact of iron-enriched diets on the nutritional composition and microbiome diversity of house crickets (Acheta domesticus)

This study investigates how varying iron levels in diets affect the nutritional profile and microbiome of house crickets, finding that high iron increases their iron content without altering microbial diversity.

Asymmetric tethering by exocyst in vitro requires a Rab GTPase, a v-SNARE and a Sac1-sensitive phosphoinositide lipid

The paper demonstrates that exocyst-mediated vesicle tethering in vitro requires Rab GTPase, a v-SNARE, and a Sac1-sensitive phosphoinositide lipid.

Foodscapes for Salmon and Other Mobile Consumers in River Networks

The paper introduces the concept of 'foodscapes' to describe how food abundance, accessibility, and foraging costs vary in river networks, affecting fish growth and population stability.

Nanoparticle-induced biomembrane fusion: unraveling the effect of core size on stalk formation

This study investigates how the size of gold nanoparticles affects membrane fusion by analyzing stalk formation using molecular dynamics simulations.

Flow augmentation from off-channel storage improves salmonid habitat and survival

This study evaluates the effects of flow augmentation from off-channel storage on salmonid habitat and survival in a Northern California stream during dry and wet summers.

DeltaF508-Cftr mutation in genetically diverse Collaborative Cross mice yields novel disease-relevant phenotypes for cystic fibrosis

This study investigates CFTR mutation effects in genetically diverse mice, revealing varied disease phenotypes and highlighting the need for genetic diversity in CF research.

Cholesterol-containing liposomes decorated with Au nanoparticles as minimal tunable fusion machinery

This paper demonstrates that cholesterol-containing liposomes decorated with Au nanoparticles can act as tunable fusion machinery, with fusion rates controlled by divalent ions and cholesterol content.

Extracellular vesicle microRNAs contribute to Notch signaling pathway in T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

The paper identifies NOTCH1-dependent microRNAs in extracellular vesicles that promote T-ALL cell proliferation and survival by modulating oncogenic pathways.

Salmonella Typhimurium infection drives NK cell loss and conversion to ILC1-like cells, and CIS inhibition enhances antibacterial immunity

Ions and lipids drive aggregation of surface-functionalized gold nanoparticles on lipid membranes

This study shows that ions and lipids drive the aggregation of surface-functionalized gold nanoparticles on lipid membranes through ion bridging, lipid depletion, and membrane curvature.

Phylodynamic analysis of an emergent Mycobacterium bovis outbreak in an area with no previously known wildlife infections

The paper analyzes an M. bovis outbreak in cattle and badgers using mathematical modeling, machine learning, and Bayesian methods, finding a single introduction from Northern Ireland and two-phase transmission dynamics.

Identifying likely transmission pairs with pathogen sequence data using Kolmogorov Forward Equations; an application to M.bovis in cattle and badgers

The paper develops an analytical method to infer transmission probabilities between hosts using low-diversity pathogen sequence data and sampling times, applied to M. bovis in cattle and badgers.
