HD-ZIP IV genes are essential for embryo initial cell polarization in the radial axis initiation in Arabidopsis

This study identifies HD-ZIP IV genes as essential for radial axis formation in Arabidopsis by regulating apical cell polarization and division orientation.

Isogenic iPSC-derived proximal and distal lung-on-chip models: Tissue- and virus-specific immune responses in human lungs

The paper develops isogenic lung-on-chip models from iPSC-derived cells to study tissue-specific immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza viruses.

Pulsation waves along the Ciona heart tube reverse by bimodal rhythms expressed by a remote pair of pacemakers

The paper investigates how pulsation waves in the Ciona heart tube reverse due to bimodal rhythms from terminal pacemakers.

An In-Silico Testbed for Fast and Accurate MR Labeling of Orthopaedic Implants

The paper presents an in-silico testbed for MR labeling of orthopaedic implants, approved by FDA as a medical device development tool for 1.5 T examinations.

Diffusive mediator feedback explains the health-to disease transition of skin inflammation

This paper uses a reaction-diffusion model to explain how imbalanced pro- and anti-inflammatory mediator feedback drives different patterns of skin inflammation and proposes treatment strategies based on erythema patterns.

Single-molecule tracking of Nanog and Oct4 in mouse embryonic stem cells

The paper tracks Nanog and Oct4 in mouse embryonic stem cells to study their roles in pluripotency, finding that Nanog interacts longer with targets during differentiation, suggesting a feedback mechanism.

Phylogeny and Metadata Network Database for Epidemiologic Surveillance

The paper creates a graph database to integrate SARS-CoV-2 phylogenetic trees, metadata, and surveillance data for phylodynamic analysis.

Lipid nanodiscs facilitate the identification of a fragment compound inhibiting the enzymatic activity of the bacterial membrane protein MsbA.

This study uses lipid nanodiscs and surface plasmon resonance to identify a fragment compound that inhibits MsbA's ATPase activity, suggesting a pathway for developing stronger inhibitors.

A Software Toolkit for TMS Electric-Field Modeling with Boundary Element Fast Multipole Method: An Efficient MATLAB Implementation

The paper introduces a MATLAB-based software toolkit for TMS electric-field modeling using BEM-FMM, achieving threefold faster computation with similar accuracy.

A study of psychological pain in substance use disorder and its relationship to treatment outcome

This study examines psychological pain in substance use disorder patients, finding it correlates with treatment retention and dropout rates.
