Does method of field preparation affect survival and growth of juvenile Chinook salmon in agricultural floodplains?

The study tests if field preparation methods in agricultural floodplains affect survival and growth of juvenile Chinook salmon, finding no significant differences among treatments.

Universal microbial reworking of dissolved organic matter along environmental gradients

The paper tracks dissolved organic matter (DOM) changes along environmental gradients and finds microbial reworking drives universal degradation patterns across ecosystems.

Acute appendicitis manifests as two microbiome state types with oral pathogens influencing severity

This study identifies two microbiome state types in acute appendicitis, with oral pathogens linked to severe cases and gut-associated microbes linked to less severe cases.

High-throughput Production of Diverse Xenobiotic Metabolites with P450-transduced Huh7 Hepatoma Cell Lines

This paper develops P450-expressing Huh7 cell lines to generate xenobiotic metabolites, enabling high-throughput analysis of drug metabolism and identification of specific enzyme-substrate interactions.

Human Biopsies in Nanofibrillar Cellulose Hydrogel - A Novel Method for Long-term Tissue Culture

This paper introduces a novel xeno-free 3D tissue culture method using plant-derived nanofibrillar cellulose hydrogel, showing sustained protein expression in human biopsies over 28 days.

Large herbivorous wildlife and livestock differentially influence the relative importance of different sources of carbon for riverine food webs

This study shows that replacing native wildlife with livestock in river systems changes the carbon sources for macroinvertebrates, increasing reliance on autochthonous carbon through an algae-grazer pathway rather than allochthonous C4 carbon via detrital pathways.

Livestock as vectors of organic matter and nutrient loading in aquatic ecosystems in African savannas

This study quantifies the impact of zebu cattle on organic matter and nutrient loading in the Mara River, Kenya, showing their significant contribution compared to hippos.

Exploring the archaeome: detection of archaeal signatures in the human body

The paper detects and quantifies archaeal signatures in human body samples using optimized methods, finding high archaeal prevalence in under-studied regions.
