This study identifies RpoS as a key regulator of Salmonella Typhi biofilm formation and persistence in the gall bladder, revealing a CsgD-independent mechanism.

Ancient DNA reveals interstadials as a driver of the common vole population dynamics during the last glacial period

This study uses ancient DNA to show that interstadial periods, not the Last Glacial Maximum, were the main driver of common vole population dynamics during the last glacial period.

Forward masking in a bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus : Dependence on azimuthal positions of the masker and test sources

This study investigates forward masking in bottlenose dolphins using auditory evoked potentials, finding that binaural convergence equalizes masking effects regardless of source positions.

Peptidoglycan associated cyclic lipopeptide disrupts viral infectivity

The paper identifies surfactin, a cyclic lipopeptide from bacterial peptidoglycan, as a broad-spectrum virucidal compound that disrupts enveloped virus infectivity.

Relationships between clans and genetic kin explain cultural similarities over vast distances: the case of Yakutia

The paper examines cultural similarities among the Yakut population by analyzing genetic and archaeological data from ancient and modern samples, linking them to clan structures and marriage patterns.
