A Mesoscale Finite Element Modelling Approach for Understanding Brain Morphology and Material Heterogeneity Effects in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

This study uses mesoscale finite element modeling to analyze stress patterns in the brain related to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, finding localized stress increases in sulci and white matter.

DKW basal salts improve micropropagation and callogenesis compared to MS basal salts in multiple commercial cultivars of Cannabis sativa

This study compares DKW and MS basal salts for Cannabis micropropagation, finding DKW improves plant health, multiplication rates, and canopy area across multiple cultivars.

Convergent evolution of seasonal camouflage in response to reduced snow cover across the snowshoe hare range

This study investigates how snowshoe hares adapt to reduced snow cover by evolving seasonal camouflage, revealing convergent evolution and the role of allelic dominance in adaptation rates.

Artificial selection finds new hypotheses for the mechanism of Wolbachia-mediated dengue blocking in mosquitoes

The paper uses artificial selection to identify genetic variations linked to Wolbachia-mediated dengue blocking in mosquitoes and proposes hypotheses about the underlying mechanisms.

Disease swamps molecular signatures of genetic-environmental associations to abiotic factors in Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) populations

The paper examines how disease impacts genetic-environmental associations in Tasmanian devils, finding that disease swamps abiotic environmental signals.

Targeting DNA damage response and Replication Stress in Pancreatic Cancer

The paper identifies novel therapeutic strategies for pancreatic cancer by analyzing DNA damage response and replication stress in patient-derived cell lines.

Survey of intertidal ecosystem reveals a legacy of potentially toxic elements from industrial activity in the Skeena Estuary, British Columbia, Canada

The paper assesses PTE contamination in estuarine sediments and benthic invertebrates near industrial sites, finding elevated PTEs near a decommissioned papermill and identifying a biomonitor species.

Ensemble projections of global ocean animal biomass with climate change

The paper compares multiple models to project changes in global ocean animal biomass under climate change scenarios, finding significant declines under high emissions.

Supragingival plaque microbiome ecology and functional potential in the context of health and disease

This study examines the supragingival plaque microbiome in children to link microbial diversity and function to caries, identifying key metabolic pathways and novel microbes associated with disease.

Regulatory divergence of flowering time genes in the allopolyploid Brassica napus

This study examines how duplicated flowering time genes are regulated in Brassica napus, finding diverged expression patterns and cis-regulatory differences that impact gene retention.
