Characterization of Onion Seedlots into Different Storability Groups with 4 Parameter Hill Function (4-PHF)

The paper uses 4-PHF parameters to classify onion seedlots into storability groups, finding AUC as crucial for accurate categorization beyond conventional germination metrics.

Quantifying and modelling the acquisition and retention of lumpy skin disease virus by haematophagus insects reveals clinically but not subclinically-affected cattle are promoters of viral transmission and key targets for control of disease outbreaks.

This study quantifies LSDV acquisition and retention by vector insects and models transmission, finding clinical cattle are key promoters of viral spread and highlighting the need for targeted control strategies.

Live-cell 3D single-molecule tracking reveals how NuRD modulates enhancer dynamics

This study uses live-cell 3D single-molecule tracking to show that the NuRD complex decompacts chromatin and alters enhancer dynamics by increasing their movement and reducing time in a fast-diffusing state.

Understanding the adaptive evolution of mitochondrial genomes in intertidal chitons

This study investigates adaptive evolution in mitochondrial genomes of intertidal chitons by analyzing protein-coding genes and their functional implications in energy metabolism.

Increased mTOR activity and metabolic efficiency in mouse and human cells containing the African-centric tumor-predisposing p53 variant Pro47Ser

This study shows that the p53 variant Pro47Ser increases mTOR activity and metabolic efficiency in mouse and human cells through altered redox regulation of Rheb.

Structure of a human intramembrane ceramidase explains enzymatic dysfunction found in leukodystrophy

The paper reports the crystal structure of human ACER3, revealing its intramembrane architecture and explaining Ca2+ and Zn2+ regulation of its enzymatic activity and dysfunction in leukodystrophy.

Endogenous α-SYN protein analysis from human brain tissues using single-molecule pull-down assay

This study introduces a single-molecule pull-down assay to count and analyze endogenous α-SYN protein oligomerization in human brain tissues.

A Zebrafish Model For Ocular Tuberculosis

This study uses a zebrafish model to investigate the early pathogenesis of ocular tuberculosis, revealing hematogenous bacterial seeding and granuloma formation in the eye.

Nitric oxide sensing by chlorophyll a

The paper proposes using chlorophyll a to sense and classify different nitric oxide species with high sensitivity and temperature dependence.
