Analysis and Correction of Inappropriate Image Duplication: The Molecular and Cellular Biology Experience

The paper analyzes image duplication in 960 Molecular and Cellular Biology papers, finds 59 cases, and suggests pre-publication screening to reduce post-publication corrections.

Mitogen Kinase Kinase (MKK7) controls cytokine production in vitro and in vivo in mice

This study shows MKK7 is essential for JNK activation and cytokine production in macrophages in vitro and in vivo, while MKK4 has a minor role in cytokine production during inflammation.

Historical disturbances to rivers appear to constrain contemporary distribution of a river-dependent frog,

The paper uses species distribution models to show that historical and ongoing human disturbances to rivers negatively correlate with the distribution of foothill yellow-legged frogs.

Aberrant Ca2+ homeostasis in adipocytes links inflammation to metabolic dysregulation in obesity

This study identifies IP3R over-activation in adipocytes as a key mechanism linking obesity, inflammation, and insulin resistance, suggesting therapeutic targeting of Ca2+ homeostasis.

Evidence of Presence and Activation of the two Cell Cycle Kinases Nek6 and Nek7 in the ciliated Neuroretina

The paper identifies Nek6 and Nek7 expression in retinal tissue and shows their light-dependent activation in photoreceptor outer segments, linking them to phototransduction and outer segment biogenesis.
