Worldwide Soundscapes: a synthesis of passive acoustic monitoring across realms

The paper synthesizes passive acoustic monitoring data across ecosystems to assess global coverage and identify gaps in biodiversity monitoring.

Engineering Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines to Evade Xenogeneic Transplantation Barriers

This study genetically modifies human pluripotent stem cells to evade immune rejection in mice by knocking out HLA genes and adding inhibitory factors, leading to persistent teratomas in immunocompetent models.

Glutaredoxin regulation of primary root growth is associated with early drought stress tolerance in pearl millet

Ex Vivo and In Vivo CD46 Receptor Utilization by Species D Human Adenovirus Serotype 26 (HAdV26)

This paper investigates the CD46 receptor utilization by Ad26 in vitro and in vivo, showing its role in infection and safety, but not all routes of administration.

Duckweed roots are dispensable and are on a trajectory toward vestigiality

The paper shows duckweed roots are dispensable for growth and nutrient uptake, suggesting they are evolving toward vestigiality.

Quantifying and modelling the acquisition and retention of lumpy skin disease virus by haematophagus insects reveals clinically but not subclinically-affected cattle are promoters of viral transmission and key targets for control of disease outbreaks.

This study quantifies LSDV acquisition and retention by vector insects and models transmission, finding clinical cattle are key promoters of viral spread and highlighting the need for targeted control strategies.
