The paper shows that 3D matrix stiffness and dimensionality influence the expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in vitro, affecting lineage fractions and gene expression.

This paper identifies the role of TYLCV V2 protein in facilitating the nuclear export of V1 protein and viral systemic infection through host exportin and V1-V2 interaction.

This study evaluates polishing and pre-coating techniques for FIB-milled crystals in MicroED, finding that platinum pre-coating and polishing improve signal-to-noise ratio, resolution, and refinement statistics.

This paper introduces a method to prepare protein crystals for continuous rotation MicroED using ion beam milling, eliminating the need for blotting optimization.

This study shows PARP inhibitors trigger an immune response via the STING pathway, enhancing immune checkpoint blockade efficacy regardless of BRCA mutations.

This study isolates and characterizes a wheat-specific phosphate-solubilizing Pseudomonas strain, showing its ability to colonize the wheat rhizosphere, enhance growth, and downregulate the phosphate transporter gene TaPT4.

This study shows metformin improves uterine progesterone signaling in PCOS-like rats by reducing PGR and ER expression and correcting gene expression abnormalities.

This study compares monomeric and dimeric forms of FAN1, showing that dimerization is required for efficient cleavage of long DNA flaps.

This study identifies SmWRKY1 as a positive regulator of tanshinone biosynthesis in Salvia miltiorrhiza by enhancing MEP pathway gene expression.

This paper introduces a method to visualize the cell-material interface at nanometer resolution using FIB-SEM, enabling detailed study of cell-material interactions.

This study uses nanostructured substrates to control membrane curvature in live cells and finds that CME proteins prefer positive curvature, while other proteins do not.
