Immunoregulatory macrophages modify local pulmonary immunity and ameliorate hypoxic-pulmonary hypertension

The paper shows that administering anti-inflammatory macrophages reduces inflammation and pulmonary hypertension in mice exposed to hypoxia.

Longitudinal analysis of Flower-dependent cell competition fitness markers in Drosophila melanogaster

This study examines the dynamics of Flower-dependent cell competition markers in Drosophila over 28 days, revealing that Azot is not required for loser cell elimination and that most apoptotic cells express both Fwe LB and Azot.

Hemi Manganese Exchangers 1 and 2 enable manganese import at the plasma membrane in cyanobacteria

This study identifies Hmx1 and Hmx2 as Mn importers in cyanobacteria, showing they enable Mn uptake at the plasma membrane and are ancestral to eukaryotic UPF0016 proteins.

Sexual dimorphism and plasticity in wing shape in three Diptera

This study uses geometric morphometrics to analyze wing shape dimorphism and plasticity in three Diptera species under different rearing conditions, revealing interspecific differences and sexual dimorphism.

A Live Attenuated Vaccine Model Confers Cross-Protective Immunity Against Different Species of Leptospira spp.

The paper evaluates a live attenuated Leptospira mutant as a vaccine candidate, showing it induces cross-protective immunity against multiple Leptospira species.

Multiple loci linked to inversions are associated with eye size variation in species of the Drosophila virilis phylad

This study identifies multiple genetic loci, including inversion-associated variants, linked to eye size variation across Drosophila virilis phylad species.

Cyclin B1 scaffolds MAD1 at the corona to activate the spindle assembly checkpoint

This study identifies Cyclin B1 as a scaffold that localizes MAD1 to the kinetochore corona, enabling the spindle assembly checkpoint by making MAD1 phosphorylation independent of MPS1.
