Brilacidin, a novel antifungal agent against Cryptococcus neoformans

This paper identifies brilacidin as a novel antifungal agent effective against Cryptococcus neoformans, showing it reduces fungal survival in macrophages and potentiates existing antifungals.

Emulating Visual Evaluations in the Microscopic Agglutination Test with Deep Learning

This paper develops a deep learning model to estimate agglutination rates in the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) for leptospirosis, achieving accurate results and improving model interpretability.

Chronic BCR signaling generates and maintains age-associated B cells from anergic B cells

This study shows chronic BCR signaling generates and maintains age-associated B cells from anergic B cells, and Btk inhibition reduces ABCs and lupus pathogenicity.

Breakdown in seasonal dynamics of subtropical ant communities with land-cover change

The paper examines how land-cover change affects seasonal ant activity patterns in subtropical forests, finding reduced seasonality and synchrony in more developed areas.

Divergent ecological responses to typhoon disturbance revealed via landscape-scale acoustic monitoring

This study uses landscape-scale acoustic monitoring to reveal divergent ecological responses to typhoons, showing increased spatial variability in biological sound production and species detections.

Quantitative analysis of calcium oxalate monohydrate and dihydrate for elucidating the formation mechanism of calcium oxalate kidney stones

This paper quantitatively analyzes calcium oxalate monohydrate and dihydrate in kidney stones using FTIR, PXRD, and micro-CT to understand their formation mechanisms.
