Development of sound production in Danionella cerebrum

This study examines the ontogeny of sound production in Danionella cerebrum, finding that click production begins in the second month of life and increases in abundance and structure over the next one to two months.

Gemcitabine and ATR inhibitors synergize to kill PDAC cells by blocking DNA damage response

This study identifies ATR inhibitors as synergistic with gemcitabine in killing PDAC cells by blocking the DNA damage response pathway.

(p)ppGpp-mediated GTP homeostasis ensures the survival and antibiotic tolerance of Staphylococcus aureus during starvation by preserving the proton motive force

Quantifying the strength of viral fitness tradeoffs between hosts: A meta-analysis of pleiotropic fitness effects

This paper conducts a meta-analysis of viral mutation fitness effects across hosts, finding positive pleiotropy is common and fitness effects are positively correlated between hosts.

Transformation of cereal grains: Botanical and chemical analysis of food residues encrusted on pottery from the Funnel Beaker settlement of Oldenburg LA 77, northern Germany

This study analyzes food residues on Neolithic pottery from Germany to identify the types of cereals and other foods processed there, revealing the use of emmer and barley and insights into early agricultural practices.

The Endothelium Modulates the Prothrombotic Phenotype of Factor V Leiden: Evidence from an Ex Vivo Model

This study shows that endothelial cells from asymptomatic Factor V Leiden carriers have a higher APC response to thrombin formation compared to those with previous VTE, suggesting endothelial modulation of FVL's prothrombotic phenotype.

Life and death in Trypillia times: Interdisciplinary analyses of the exceptional human remains from the settlement of Kosenivka, Ukraine (3700-3600 BCE)

This paper presents an interdisciplinary analysis of human remains from a Trypillia settlement, revealing insights into diet, conflict, and burial practices during the Chalcolithic period.

Nanobodies against SARS-CoV-2 reduced virus load in the brain of challenged mice and neutralized Wuhan, Delta and Omicron Variants

This study develops nanobodies against SARS-CoV-2 that neutralize multiple variants and reduce viral load in the brain of infected mice.

Bacterial growth, communication and guided chemotaxis in 3D bioprinted hydrogel environments

This study develops a bioprinting method for 3D hydrogel structures containing live E. coli bacteria, enabling controlled chemical communication and chemotaxis guidance.

Temperature drives variation in flying insect biomass across a German malaise trap network

The paper analyzes data from a German malaise trap network to show how temperature and land-cover type influence flying insect biomass and phenology across different regions.

Choosing optimal trigger points for ex situ, in toto conservation of single population threatened species

The paper develops a decision-support tool to determine optimal trigger points for ex situ conservation of single population threatened species, using retrospective case studies to illustrate its application.

Cytomegalovirus infection is a risk factor for TB disease in Infants

This study identifies CMV infection as a risk factor for TB disease in infants by linking CMV-induced IFN-gamma responses to immune activation and increased TB risk.

Nicotinamide Deficiency In Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

This study finds lower plasma nicotinamide levels in primary open-angle glaucoma patients compared to controls, suggesting potential therapeutic implications.
