BNCT Triggers Immunogenic Cell Death in B16 Melanoma Without Accompanying T-Cell Infiltration--Implications for Combination Immunotherapy

This study shows BNCT reduces B16 melanoma growth and survival, induces immunogenic cell death and a Th1 response, but fails to increase CD8+ T-cell infiltration, suggesting immune resistance mechanisms may limit its efficacy.

An open-access neuroimaging-compatible virtual town task for assessing human spatial navigation

The paper introduces an open-access virtual navigation task compatible with neuroimaging, demonstrating its use with EEG and behavioral tracking in human participants.

De novo biosynthesis of alpinetin enhanced by directed evolution of 5-O-methyltransferase

This study enables the de novo biosynthesis of alpinetin in E. coli through directed evolution of a 5-O-methyltransferase, demonstrating its broad substrate specificity for O-methylated flavonoids.

A biocatalytic platform for the production of substituted 2-quinolones and (thio)coumarins

This paper characterizes two fungal polyketide synthases that produce substituted 2-quinolones and (thio)coumarins, demonstrating their potential for biocatalytic drug discovery.

Effects of amendments on remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil and accumulation of Cd and Pb in potato

This study evaluates how soil amendments reduce Cd and Pb accumulation in potato plants by altering soil properties and metal bioavailability.

Genomic insights into longan evolution from a chromosome-level genome assembly and population genomics of longan accessions

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for longan and identifies genetic factors influencing fruit quality traits through population genomics and GWAS.
