Homeostatic responses to hypoxia by the carotid body and adrenal medulla are based on mutual antagonism between HIF-1α and HIF-2α

This study shows that HIF-1α and HIF-2α antagonism in the carotid body and adrenal medulla regulates redox balance and hypoxia responses, maintaining blood pressure and respiration.

Characterization of the growth and morphology of a BSL-2 Coccidioides posadasii strain that persists in the parasitic life cycle at ambient CO2.

This study characterizes a Coccidioides posadasii strain that maintains parasitic morphology at ambient CO2 and shows hyphal growth under spherule-inducing conditions.

Biomaterials direct functional B cell response in a material specific manner

This study shows that biomaterial composition influences B cell responses, with ECM materials inducing plasmablasts and antigen presentation, while synthetic PCL delays B cell migration and induces antigen-presenting phenotypes.

Phototrophic co-cultures from extreme environments: community structure and potential value for fundamental and applied research

The paper evaluates photosynthetic co-cultures from extreme environments using 16S rRNA gene sequencing to explore their potential in understanding microbial roles in carbon and nitrogen cycling.

Negative linkage disequilibrium between amino acid changing variants reveals interference among deleterious mutations in the human genome

The paper examines negative linkage disequilibrium between amino acid changing variants and finds that deleterious mutations tend to be on different haplotypes, suggesting interference or negative epistasis.
