Aeon: an open-source platform to study the neural basis of ethological behaviours over naturalistic timescales

Aeon enables long-term study of ethological behaviours in mice with simultaneous brain activity recording and provides a unified data format for analysis.

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex pangenome is small and shaped by sub-lineage-specific regions of difference

The paper quantifies the MTBC pangenome, revealing a small, closed genome with lineage-specific regions of difference and implications for virulence and drug resistance.

Automated web-based typing of Clostridioides difficile ribotypes via MALDI-TOF MS

This paper develops automated tools using MALDI-TOF MS and machine learning to accurately classify C. difficile ribotypes from clinical isolates.

Developmental Reprogramming of Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis in Mice by Common Environmental Pollutants

This study shows that developmental exposure to common environmental pollutants like BPS, BDE-47, and TBBPA causes long-term changes in hypothalamic-pituitary gene expression and function in male mice.

Apoplastic barrier establishment in roots and nodules of Lotus japonicus is essential for root-shoot signaling and N-fixation

This study identifies the role of apoplastic barriers in Lotus japonicus roots and nodules, showing their necessity for nitrogen fixation and root-shoot signaling.

High-throughput phenogenotyping of Mycobacteria tuberculosis clinical strains reveals bacterial determinants of treatment outcomes

This study uses high-throughput phenogenotyping to link Mtb genetic variants to clinical outcomes, identifying bacterial traits associated with treatment failure and transmission.

Rolosense: Mechanical detection of SARS-CoV-2 using a DNA-based motor

Rolosense detects SARS-CoV-2 using a DNA-based motor that stalls in the presence of viral particles, offering a rapid, low-cost, point-of-care diagnostic method.

A promiscuity locus confers Lotus burttii nodulation with rhizobia from five different genera

This study identifies a genetic locus in Lotus burttii that enables nodulation with rhizobia from five different genera, suggesting a general mechanism for host-range expansion.

Rapid and reproducible MALDI-TOF-based method for detection Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium using classifying algorithms

This study evaluates MALDI-TOF MS for detecting vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium using classification algorithms, achieving 77.53-86.65% accuracy in distinguishing resistance types.

The microbiome of Lotus nodules varies with plant health in a species-specific manner

The paper examines how the microbiome of Lotus nodules varies with plant health, finding species-specific differences and identifying Pseudomonas-related bacteria as indicators of healthy nodules.

The late endosome-resident lipid bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate is a cofactor for Lassa virus fusion

This paper identifies bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate as a cofactor for arenavirus fusion, showing it promotes late stages of fusion in both Lassa and Junin viruses.

A hetero-oligomeric remorin-receptor complex regulates plant development

The paper shows that Group 1 remorins form a hetero-oligomeric complex at the plasma membrane, recruiting RIR1 and NILR2 to regulate plant development.

Interferon-Induced Transmembrane Protein 3 Blocks Fusion of Diverse Enveloped Viruses by Locally Altering Mechanical Properties of Cell Membranes

This study shows IFITM3 inhibits viral fusion by altering membrane curvature and stiffness, with its amphipathic helix playing a key role in these effects.

Proteomic profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture filtrate identifies novel O-glycosylated proteins

Differential expression of cyclins mRNA in neural tissues of BoHV-1- and BoHV-5- infected cattle

This study compares cyclin mRNA expression in neural tissues of cattle infected with BoHV-1 and BoHV-5, revealing differences in cyclin regulation during infection stages.

Symbiotic root infections in Medicago truncatula require remorin-mediated receptor stabilization in membrane nanodomains

The paper shows that remorin and SYMREM1 stabilize LYK3 in membrane nanodomains, which is essential for successful symbiotic root infections in Medicago truncatula.
