Robust characterization of forest structure from airborne laser scanning - a systematic assessment and sample workflow for ecologists

This paper assesses the robustness of canopy height model algorithms using ALS data and provides guidelines for creating reliable CHMs for ecological studies.

Selective Mitochondrial Respiratory Complex I Subunit Deficiency Causes Tumor Immunogenicity

This study shows that deleting specific mitochondrial Complex I subunits, Ndufs4 and Ndufs6, enhances tumor immunogenicity and sensitivity to immune checkpoint blockade in mouse melanoma models.

Caspase-2 protects against ferroptotic cell death

This study shows caspase-2 protects mutant-p53 cancer cells from ferroptotic death by non-proteolytically interacting with proteins to limit GPX4 degradation.

Tree segmentation in airborne laser scanning data is only accurate for canopy trees

This study benchmarks tree segmentation algorithms using a new benchmark dataset, finding high accuracy for canopy trees but low accuracy for understory trees.

Accurate delineation of individual tree crowns in tropical forests from aerial RGB imagery using Mask R-CNN

This paper introduces Detectree2, a deep learning model that accurately segments individual tree crowns in tropical forests from aerial RGB imagery, enabling growth and mortality analysis of large trees.

Forest structure and degradation drive canopy gap sizes across the Brazilian Amazon

The paper investigates how forest structure and degradation influence canopy gap sizes across the Brazilian Amazon using LiDAR data.

Genome-wide CRISPR screens reveal APR-246 (Eprenetapopt) triggers ferroptosis and inhibits iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis

This paper identifies APR-246's mechanism of inducing ferroptosis and inhibiting iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis through cysteine conjugation in mutant-p53 cancer cells.

The TIM22 complex regulates mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism by mediating the import of Sideroflexins

This study identifies Sideroflexins as substrates of the TIM22 complex and shows their role in mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism, linking AGK dysfunction to Sengers syndrome.

The mechanical stability of the worlds tallest broadleaf trees

This study examines mechanical stability factors limiting tree height in tall tropical trees, finding that wind damage risk increases with height despite larger diameters, leading to a U-shaped mechanical risk curve.
