This study examines C4d deposition in renal tissues of primary Sjögren's syndrome patients, finding higher serum creatinine levels in those with tubulointerstitial C4d positivity.

The paper identifies differentially expressed proteins in tumor-associated vascular endothelial cells of colorectal cancer and links some to angiogenesis and metastasis.

The paper determines the crystal structure of a split gp41-1 intein and uses it to engineer orthogonal split inteins from a cis-splicing intein.

This study identifies tetrameric Photosystem I in cyanobacteria, linking it to a unique psaL gene and showing its adaptation to high light conditions.

This paper develops a method to directly synthesize EM-visible gold nanoparticles on genetically encoded tags for single-molecule visualization in cells, achieving high labeling efficiency in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

This study shows that chive gnat adults prefer black substrates regardless of color hues, brightness, or ambient light conditions.

This study investigates the effects of fasting caecotrophy on growth performance and lipid metabolism in rabbits using RNA-Seq, finding reduced body weight, lipid droplet accumulation, and altered gene expression related to lipid metabolism.

This study examines how rootstock affects scion leaf morphology, ion concentrations, and gene expression in Chambourcin grapevines under different irrigation conditions.

The paper analyzes the hypothalamic transcriptome of Muscovy ducks across reproductive stages to identify gene expression changes and pathways involved in broodiness.

The study investigates whether combining efavirenz with tenofovir and emtricitabine affects efavirenz-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and cholesterol biosynthesis in human T lymphoblastoid cells, finding no moderation of these effects.

This study shows TP, activated by Twist1, promotes HCC metastasis and VM via pentose Warburg effect by linking pentose phosphate pathway and glycolysis.

The paper develops an ensemble model to compare allosteric effects in ordered and disordered proteins, finding that order-order transitions are more prevalent in allostery than disorder-order transitions.

This study identifies NudCL2 as a cochaperone that stabilizes cohesin subunits by modulating Hsp90 ATPase activity, preventing mitotic defects and sister chromatid separation.

This study shows that gut segments, not diet, are the main factor shaping the intestinal microbiome in grass carp, with diet having a smaller impact in distal gut regions.

This study shows that β-lactam antibiotics increase MRSA pathogenicity by upregulating the tlpps gene cluster via SarA, leading to enhanced inflammation and infection severity.

The paper identifies and maps the stripe rust resistance gene YrTZ2 in wild emmer wheat and compares its genomic region with Aegilops tauschii.

This study shows mixed-cropping of different rice cultivars increases grain yield and quality compared to mono-cropping systems.

This study shows that MHCII expression on breast tumors slows growth, recruits more T cells, expands TCR diversity, and delays exhaustion, but does not prevent exhaustion.

This study identifies immune-related gene-sets with higher expression in TNBC, associated with survival prognosis and immune features like Treg cells and immune checkpoints.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to identify novel kidney cell types and Notch-mediated plasticity in collecting duct cells, which is defective in chronic kidney disease.

The paper identifies genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying leaf thickness in Solanum pennellii by analyzing introgression lines and transcriptomes.

This paper develops transgenic Cas9 lines in Aedes aegypti for efficient genome editing, enabling high-throughput gene disruption and potential gene drive applications.

This paper uses persistent homology to analyze leaf shapes from 182,707 leaves across 141 plant families, revealing phylogenetic and geographic differences in leaf morphology.

The paper uses morphometric techniques to analyze apple leaf shapes, finding heritable variation captured by complex methods like elliptical Fourier descriptors and persistent homology.

This paper discusses the importance of mathematical modeling in plant morphology and outlines challenges and opportunities for integrating geometric and topological approaches in plant science research and education.
