This study shows GM-CSF is critical for mitochondrial function and metabolism in macrophages, supporting their proliferation and self-renewal.

This paper develops a mucosal RSV vaccine, P-KFD1, which protects mice against RSV infection without vaccine-enhanced disease and relies on CD4+ T cell responses mediated by IFN-γ or IL-17A.

The paper uses synthetic TAL effectors delivered by bacteria to activate the maize gene gl3, revealing its role in cuticular wax biosynthesis and identifying downstream genes involved in this process.

This study examines how adding active dry yeast to the diet of beef cattle affects their growth, rumen fermentation, and slaughter performance, finding that 4 g/head/d improves microbial composition and carcass weight compared to low nutrition.

The paper sequences 242 Ae. tauschii accessions to study genetic diversity in the bread wheat D-subgenome, identifies disease resistance genes, and demonstrates their functional transfer into wheat.

This study uses proteomics to identify complement cascade pathway changes in gastric signet ring cell carcinoma tissues compared to adjacent regions and adenocarcinomas.

The paper establishes a SARS-CoV-2 lentiviral pseudovirus neutralization assay using 293T cells expressing ACE2 and TMPRSS2, showing good correlation with other assays.

The paper investigates how biological control agents (BCAs) affect soil microbiome structure in strawberry greenhouses, finding increased bacterial diversity and potential inhibition of fungal pathogens.

This study designs a de novo regulation system using TFs and CREs to alter plant secondary metabolism, showing reduced tobacco alkaloids and nitrosamines in engineered plants.

This study uses sedimentary ancient DNA to analyze plant diversity changes over 28,000 years in Far East Russia, revealing different assembly rules in cold and warm climates.

This study develops a high-throughput single-cell DNA library preparation method for CNV detection and applies it to identify clonal evolution in hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence.

The paper identifies a NOTCH-YAP1/TEAD-DNMT1 axis that drives hepatocyte reprogramming into intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and reveals its role in tumor development.

This study shows that disrupting FGF2 enhances thermogenesis in brown and beige fat, reducing obesity and hepatic steatosis in mice.

This study compares three porcine corneal decellularization methods and shows that preserving the limbus reduces decellularization efficiency but lessens structural damage.

This study uses a novel mouse model to show that spontaneous metastases in synchronous bilateral breast cancer originate from both primary tumors, revealing high cross-seeding of metastatic cells.

This study uses transcriptomic data to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within Antliophora, finding fleas are sister to either a monophyletic Mecoptera or arose within mecopteran families, potentially making Mecoptera paraphyletic.

The paper analyzes public data to show that PDCD1 and CD274 expression in T cells and macrophages correlates with COVID-19 severity.

This study identifies gene mutations in the PI3K/Akt pathway associated with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) using whole-exome sequencing and functional analysis.
