Microbial resistance and resilience to drought under organic and conventional farming

This study examines how microbial communities in organic and conventional farming systems respond to drought, finding that fungal communities are more affected than prokaryotes, and that farming practices may not sufficiently buffer drought stress.

Oncogenic RAS-Pathway Activation Drives Oncofetal Reprogramming and Creates Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia

This study identifies oncofetal reprogramming in juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, linking RAS-pathway activation to fetal gene expression and revealing CD52 as a therapeutic target.

Clinal variation in drought response is consistent across life stages but not between native and non-native ranges

Climate, host and geography shape insect and fungal communities of trees

This study identifies climate, host-related, and geographic factors shaping insect and fungal communities on trees, showing climate change could impact these communities through host range shifts and human-mediated transport.

What mycologists should talk about when they are talking about the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants

The paper discusses the challenges of naming fungi discovered through environmental sequencing and proposes criteria for DNA-based species typification.

Multidimensional Characterization of Soft-Tissue Sarcomas with FUS-TFCP2 or EWSR1-TFCP2 Fusions

This study characterizes soft-tissue sarcomas with FUS-TFCP2 or EWSR1-TFCP2 fusions through multi-omics analyses and functional studies, identifying therapeutic targets and mechanisms of disease.

Core and indicative bacterial and fungal taxa define characteristic soil communities of arable land, grassland, and forest

The paper identifies core and indicative bacterial and fungal taxa in soil communities across arable land, grassland, and forest, showing land-use-specific patterns and potential for soil biomonitoring.

Positive effects of crop diversity on productivity driven by changes in soil microbial composition

This study shows that increasing crop diversity in intercropping systems enhances soil microbial diversity and crop yield, but the effects are context-dependent and smaller than abiotic factors.

Experimental erosion of microbial diversity decreases soil CH4 consumption rates

The paper shows that reducing microbial diversity in landfill soil decreases methane consumption rates, indicating universal biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships across taxa.

Thinking small: next-generation sensor networks close the size gap in vertebrate biologging

This paper develops a wireless biologging network for tracking small vertebrates with high resolution and low tag weight, demonstrating its application in studying wild bats.
