The study shows that organic manure and rice straw residue increase soil microbial diversity and abundance in double-cropping paddy fields compared to chemical fertilizer alone or no fertilizer.

This study removes toe fringes from Phrynocephalus mystaceus to test their impact on locomotor and sand-diving performance, finding that toe fringe area significantly affects both.

The paper shows that boron deficiency reduces brassinolide accumulation by downregulating BR6ox1 and BR6ox2, thereby inhibiting root growth through BR signaling.

This paper proposes an electrostatic-interaction-based mechanism for prion protein refolding from PrPC to PrPSc, identifying key steps involving hydrophobic interactions and pH changes.

This study shows YAP1 is increased in high-grade prostate adenocarcinoma but reduced in neuroendocrine prostate cancer, with YAP1 loss activating Wnt/beta-Catenin signaling linked to NEPC development.

This study identifies differentially expressed genes and pathways in Botrytis cinerea treated with wuyiencin, revealing its impact on metabolism, protein synthesis, and cell growth.

This study shows that MCL-1 inhibition by BH3 mimetics disrupts mitochondrial dynamics and function in iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, suggesting a non-apoptotic role for MCL-1 in cardiac health.

This study investigates how terminal tagging affects the oligomerization of the sigma 1 receptor using a modified Western blot protocol, revealing that the N-terminus influences ligand binding effects while the C-terminus is more suitable for modifications.

This study identifies USP7's dual role in stabilizing EZH2 and facilitating PRC2 chromatin loading, promoting melanoma progression and correlating with poor patient prognosis.

The paper identifies distinct antagonist-bound inactive states in dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, showing conformational diversity with implications for drug discovery.

This study identifies SKI-73 as a CARM1 chemical probe that reduces breast cancer cell invasion by altering epigenetic plasticity, distinct from CARM1 knockout effects.

This study shows Kindlin-3 promotes chondrogenesis by regulating integrin activation and SOX9 expression in mesenchymal stem cells.

This study shows that TLR2 stimulation enhances esophageal epithelial barrier function by increasing tight junction protein expression and altering chromatin structure.

This study examines how fungal communities in soil change along a forest disturbance gradient, finding declines in saprotrophic fungi and increases in pathogenic fungi, indicating shifts in soil nutrient limitations.

This study identifies Lsm12 as a regulator that mediates Polη deubiquitination to enhance its recruitment and improve survival under oxidative stress in yeast.

This paper introduces DO-SRS, a method to visualize metabolic dynamics in living tissues by imaging deuterium incorporation into macromolecules.

The paper investigates cytokinesis in C. elegans embryos, showing that positive feedback between myosin and cortical flow accelerates ring constriction rate as the ring shrinks.

This study shows NF45 and NF90 dynamically associate with IEG promoters, regulating their inducible expression through chromatin interactions.

The paper introduces a new method to estimate soil organic carbon stocks by accounting for soil volume changes, revealing an additional carbon sink in global forests.
