Orientation-Independent-DIC imaging reveals that a transient rise in depletion force contributes to mitotic chromosome condensation

The paper uses OI-DIC imaging to show that a transient increase in depletion force, caused by macromolecular crowding, contributes to mitotic chromosome condensation in human cells.

PlantServation: time-series phenotyping using machine learning revealed seasonal pigment fluctuation in diploid and polyploid Arabidopsis

PlantServation uses machine learning to analyze field images and estimate anthocyanin content in Arabidopsis, revealing seasonal fluctuations influenced by environmental factors.

Biased re-orientation in the chemotaxis of peritrichous bacteria

This study shows that peritrichous bacteria exhibit a biased turn angle during tumbles when swimming up a chemoattractant gradient, enhancing chemotaxis.

Targeting Vitamin-D receptor (VDR) by a small molecule antagonist MeTC7 inhibits PD-L1 but controls THMYCN neuroblastoma growth PD-L1 independently

This study shows that MeTC7, a VDR antagonist, reduces PD-L1 expression in cancer cells and inhibits neuroblastoma growth independently of PD-L1.

Expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 proteins in the upper and lower aerodigestive tracts of rats

This study examines ACE2 and TMPRSS2 protein expression in rat aerodigestive tracts to understand SARS-CoV-2 infection mechanisms and correlate with COVID-19 symptoms.

Metabolomic analyses of plasma and liver of mice fed with immature Citrus tumida peel

This study investigates the metabolic effects of immature Citrus tumida peel supplementation in mice, showing reduced body weight gain and altered plasma and liver metabolites.
