CDC42 Inhibitors Alter Patterns of Vessel Arborization in Skin and Tumors in vivo

This study identifies CDC42 inhibitors that reduce vessel branching in both normal skin and tumors, offering potential for treating skin cancer and angiogenesis-related diseases.

Targeting the conserved active site of splicing machines with specific and selective small molecule modulators

This study demonstrates how small molecules interact with the conserved active site of splicing machines, showing their potential for designing splicing modulators targeting both bacterial introns and the human spliceosome.

Testing the efficacy of different molecular tools for parasite conservation genetics: a case study using horsehair worms (Phylum Nematomorpha)

The paper evaluates ddRADseq and COXI sequencing for estimating genetic diversity in horsehair worms, finding that larger sample sizes and more loci improve Ne estimation and reveal Pleistocene demographic changes.

microRNA165 and 166 modulate salt stress response of the Arabidopsis root.

This study shows that miR165 and miR166 modulate root meristem activity under salt stress by regulating PHB expression and cytokinin biosynthesis.

Utilisation of Oxford Nanopore sequencing to generate six complete gastropod mitochondrial genomes as part of a biodiversity curriculum

The paper uses Oxford Nanopore sequencing to generate six gastropod mitochondrial genomes as part of a biodiversity curriculum, demonstrating its utility for hands-on genomics training.

Btk SH2-kinase interface is critical for allosteric kinase activation and its targeting inhibits B-cell neoplasms

This study identifies the Btk SH2-kinase interface as critical for activation and shows that targeting it with a repebody inhibits B-cell neoplasms.
