Thrombospondin-1 promotes fibro-adipogenic stromal expansion and contractile dysfunction of the diaphragm in obesity

This study shows that THBS1 promotes diaphragm stromal expansion and contractile dysfunction in obesity by driving FAP proliferation and ECM changes.

Allelic variations in a serine protease effector within Clavibacter michiganensis populations determine pathogen host range

This study identifies allelic variation in the chpG effector gene as a key determinant of host range plasticity in Clavibacter michiganensis populations.

Modelling SARS-CoV-2 spike-protein mutation effects on ACE2 binding

This study models SARS-CoV-2 spike-protein mutations' effects on ACE2 binding using computational methods, showing major variants maintain affinity better than random mutations.

Unravelling cotton RNAseq repositories to the fiber development specific modules and their alliance with the fiber-related traits

The paper analyzes RNAseq data from cotton to identify gene modules associated with fiber development stages and links them to fiber-related traits.

Distinct antagonist-bound inactive states underlie the divergence in the structures of the dopamine D2 and D3 receptors

The paper identifies distinct antagonist-bound inactive states in dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, showing conformational diversity with implications for drug discovery.
