Lac-Phe mediates the anti-obesity effect of metformin

This study identifies Lac-Phe as a mediator of metformin's anti-obesity effects through experiments in mice and human cohorts.

Remote neuronal activity drives glioma infiltration via Sema4f

This study identifies callosal projection neurons as drivers of glioma infiltration through Sema4F-mediated activity-dependent signaling in mouse and human tumors.

Glutathione supports lipid abundance in vivo

This study shows that glutathione (GSH) is essential for lipid abundance in adult tissues, particularly in the liver, by repressing NRF2.

TCID50 Measurements of anti-viral efficacy on metal printed masks and plastic surfaces

This study evaluates the anti-viral efficacy of metal-printed masks and PET plastics against HCoV 229E, finding silver and copper significantly reduce viral load.

Inflammatory mediators act at renal pericytes to elicit contraction of vasa recta and reduce pericyte density along this medullary vascular network

This study shows inflammatory mediators cause pericyte contraction and reduce pericyte density in vasa recta, contributing to reduced medullary blood flow in acute kidney injury.

Drug screening linked to molecular profiling identifies novel dependencies in patient-derived primary cultures of paediatric high grade glioma and DIPG

Genome evolution in an agricultural pest following adoption of transgenic crops

This study analyzes genomic changes in Helicoverpa zea over 15 years to understand the evolution of resistance to transgenic crops.

Field-based body temperatures reveal behavioralthermoregulation strategies of the Atlantic marsh fiddler crab Minuca pugnax

This study measures body and environmental temperatures of Atlantic marsh fiddler crabs to show how they use burrows for thermoregulation and how climate change may affect their behavior.

Ahr and Cyp1a2 genotypes both affect susceptibility to motor deficits following gestational and lactational exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls

This study investigates how genetic variations in Ahr and Cyp1a2 genes influence susceptibility to motor deficits caused by developmental PCB exposure in mice.
