Polar Crystal Habit and 3D Electron Diffraction Reveal the Malaria Pigment Hemozoin as a Selective Mixture of Centrosymmetric and Chiral Stereoisomers

The paper determines the structure of hemozoin, revealing it as a mixture of centrosymmetric and chiral stereoisomers using electron diffraction and modeling.

Minor differences in peptide presentation between chicken MHC class I molecules can explain differences in disease susceptibility

The paper shows that differences in peptide binding between chicken MHC class I alleles BF2*1901 and BF2*1501 explain their differing susceptibility to Mareks disease.

Layer-dependent loss and enhancement of geniculostriate and retinotectal pathways in adult human amblyopia

This study uses fMRI to show that amblyopia causes layer-specific changes in subcortical visual pathways, with reduced feedforward signals in the geniculostriate pathway and altered feedback signals in the retinotectal pathway.

High-throughput phenotyping analysis of maize at the seedling stage using end-to-end segmentation network

This paper introduces PlantU-net, an end-to-end segmentation network for maize seedling phenotyping from top-view images, achieving high accuracy with minimal training data.

Qualitative and quantitative bioanalytical methods validation of aristolochic acid DNA adducts and application in human formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded hepatocellular carcinoma tissues

This paper validates a method to quantify aristolochic acid DNA adducts in human tissues and applies it to hepatocellular carcinoma samples, finding a low prevalence of adducts.

IQGAP3 Overexpression Correlates with Poor Prognosis and Radiation Therapy Resistance in Breast Cancer

This study shows that high IQGAP3 expression in breast cancer is linked to poor prognosis and resistance to radiation therapy.

Differentiation of Alzheimer’s disease based on local and global parameters in personalized Virtual Brain models

This study uses personalized Virtual Brain models to show that local and global brain dynamics correlate with cognitive differences in Alzheimer’s disease and related conditions.
