Numerical analysis of flow anisotropy in rotated-square deterministic lateral displacement devices at moderate Reynolds number

This study simulates flow anisotropy in rotated-square DLD devices at moderate Reynolds numbers, finding non-monotonic anisotropy trends with Reynolds number and gap size.

A phylogenetic approach to explore the Aspergillus fumigatus conidial surface-associated proteome and its role in pathogenesis

The paper identifies conidial surface proteins in Aspergillus fumigatus and shows their role in immune evasion during infection.

Numerical investigation of the dynamics of a rigid spherical particle in a vortical cross-slot flow at moderate inertia

This study examines how a rigid spherical particle's dynamics and trajectory are influenced by its entry position and size in a vortical cross-slot flow at moderate inertia.

The intracellular amastigote of Trypanosoma cruzi maintains an actively beating flagellum

This study shows that intracellular Trypanosoma cruzi amastigotes have a beating flagellum, challenging the previous belief that these forms are non-motile.

CORK1, a LRR-Malectin Receptor Kinase for Cellooligomer Perception in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study identifies CORK1 as a receptor kinase in Arabidopsis that detects cellulose breakdown products, triggering Ca2+-dependent responses and immune-related signaling.

PLB-985 neutrophil-like cells as a model to study Aspergillus fumigatus pathogenesis

This paper demonstrates that differentiated PLB-985 cells can model key aspects of A. fumigatus interactions with human neutrophils, including phagocytosis, extracellular trap release, and antifungal vesicle production.

AFP2 inhibits ABA responses during germination without ABI5 degradation but DWAs reduce desiccation tolerance

This study shows AFP2 overexpression causes extreme ABA resistance without ABI5 degradation, and identifies desiccation tolerance mechanisms independent of ABA sensitivity.

The termite fungal cultivar Termitomyces combines diverse enzymes and oxidative reactions for plant biomass conversion

This paper identifies redox mechanisms in Termitomyces fungi that contribute to lignin degradation in termite symbiosis, revealing a combination of white- and brown-rot strategies.

Effects of size and elasticity on the relation between flow velocity and wall shear stress in side-wall aneurysms: A lattice Boltzmann-based computer simulation study

This study uses lattice Boltzmann simulations to investigate how aneurysm size and wall elasticity affect wall shear stress and flow velocity in side-wall aneurysms.
