Identification of key virus--prokaryote infection pairs that contribute to viral shunt in a freshwater lake

The paper identifies key virus-prokaryote infection pairs that drive viral shunt in a freshwater lake by analyzing metagenomic data from surface and deep layers over a year.

Interleg coordination is not strictly controlled during walking

This study investigates interleg coordination during walking and finds that control is not strictly maintained until deviations from antiphase exceed a threshold, suggesting a dead zone in control similar to steering wheel dynamics.

m6A demethylase ALKBH5 promotes tumor cell proliferation by destabilizing IGF2BPs target genes and worsens the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer

A widely-distributed HIV-1 provirus elimination assay to evaluate latency-reversing agents in vitro

The paper develops a new assay to evaluate latency-reversing agents by eliminating HIV-1 proviruses in a long-term cell culture system.

Microtubule-associated proteins promote microtubule generation in the absence of γ-tubulin in human colon cancer cells

The paper identifies four microtubule-associated proteins that enable microtubule generation without γ-tubulin in human colon cancer cells.

Ran-GTP is non-essential to activate NuMA for spindle pole focusing, but dynamically polarizes HURP to control mitotic spindle length

This study shows that Ran-GTP is not essential for NuMA activation in spindle pole focusing but is required for HURP polarization and spindle length regulation during prometaphase.

Synthetic peptide-induced internalization of biomolecules into various plant and algal cells via micropinocytosis

The paper introduces a peptide-based method for delivering biomolecules into plant and algal cells via micropinocytosis, enabling efficient and high-throughput delivery of functional cargoes.

A new highly sensitive real-time quantitative-PCR method for detection of BCR-ABL1 to monitor minimal residual disease in chronic myeloid leukemia after discontinuation of imatinib

This paper develops a new in-house RQ-PCR method for detecting BCR-ABL1 transcripts in CML patients, showing higher sensitivity than commercial methods for monitoring minimal residual disease.

A decay effect of bacterial growth rate associated with genome reduction

This study identifies a decay effect in bacterial growth rate measurements using optical turbidity and links it to genome reduction and cell size changes.
