Origins and diversity of pan-isotype human bone marrow plasma cells

The paper investigates the origins and diversity of human bone marrow plasma cells, identifying distinct functional profiles and sources of IgE-producing cells in peanut allergy.

Spatiotemporal structure of multimodal cues influences color and odor integration in a model insect, the bumblebee Bombus impatiens.

This study shows that bumblebees adjust their use of color and odor cues based on the spatiotemporal scale of sensory information during foraging.

Knowledge production and translation of science between Academia and Industry: assessing the impact of R&D in India

This study analyzes the factors influencing patent filings in India and highlights the importance of academia-industry collaboration for translating research into industrial output.

Identification and characterization of novel infection associated transcripts in macrophages

The paper identifies and characterizes novel infection-associated transcripts in macrophages induced by Mtb and BCG, highlighting their role in the immune response.

Identification and characterization of a biphasic/bidirectional wound-inducible RHA3B gene promoter from Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper identifies and characterizes a bidirectional wound-inducible promoter from Arabidopsis thaliana, showing its utility for conditional gene expression in plant biotechnology.

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and exosome profiling from a year-long humanspaceflight reveals circulating biomarkers

This study profiles cfDNA and exosomes from an astronaut during a year-long spaceflight, identifying increased cf-mtDNA and exosomal brain-derived peptides as potential biomarkers of spaceflight-related stress.

F-box protein At1g08710 negatively regulates root length and imparts drought stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study identifies F-box protein At1g08710 as a regulator of root growth and drought stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana by modulating oxidative stress markers and drought-responsive gene expression.

The antidepressant sertraline provides a novel host directed therapy module for augmenting TB therapy

This study shows that sertraline enhances the effectiveness of TB antibiotics in macrophages and mice, suggesting it as a host-directed therapy to improve TB treatment.

Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in Metastatic Melanoma Are Associated with Distinct Immune Landscape Changes and Response-Associated Immunophenotypes

This study compares immune landscape changes and immunophenotypes in metastatic melanoma patients treated with nivolumab and ipilimumab, finding distinct associations with treatment response and survival.

Genome-wide silencing screen in mesothelioma cells reveals that loss of function of BAP1 induces chemoresistance to ribonucleotide reductase inhibition: implication for therapy

The paper identifies BAP1's role in regulating RRM2 during replication stress, showing that BAP1 loss increases chemoresistance to ribonucleotide reductase inhibitors in mesothelioma cells.
