This paper develops a method to create 3D vascularized tissues using bioprinting and surgical anastomosis, showing improved viability and functionality in liver-like constructs.

This study identifies NPR1 and EDS1 as interacting coactivators that synergistically activate PR genes and plant defenses through Mediator complex recruitment and mutual stabilization.

This study analyzes DNA methylation across 11,117 samples from 176 species to identify modules related to traits like age, lifespan, and phylogeny, revealing epigenetic patterns across evolution and aging.

This study shows that MFG-E8 promotes Ang II-induced arterial inflammation and remodeling in aging, and its deficiency reduces these effects.

The paper introduces an R package for generalizing hierarchical and variation partitioning in canonical analysis to improve model interpretation with multiple response variables.

This study examines how hibernation affects epigenetic aging in yellow-bellied marmots using epigenetic clocks and pacemakers, finding that aging slows during hibernation.

This paper introduces a multi-scale experimental design to study the effects of climate and land use on biodiversity and ecosystem services, achieving low correlations between environmental variables across scales.

This paper develops a p-ELISA method using a multiepitope fusion protein to diagnose bovine and goat brucellosis, achieving high sensitivity and specificity.

This study shows SUMOylation of GMFB increases its stability and trans-localization, upregulating inflammatory pathways in RPE cells under oxidative stress and inflammation.

The paper analyzes T-cell receptor repertoires in different phases of COVID-19 to identify immune response patterns and predict recurrent infection risk.

This study identifies HSP90 inhibitors as potential drugs for TSC1/TSC2 deficient cancer but finds rapamycin is more effective in vivo despite modest in vitro inhibition.

This study shows human microglia can be reconstituted in the brain of hu-BLT mice with hIL34 transgene and support HIV-1 infection, highlighting their role in CNS HIV-1 pathogenesis.
