Different functions of Lhcx isoforms in photoprotective mechanism in the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana

The study identifies two distinct Lhcx isoforms in Thalassiosira pseudonana that mediate different photoprotective mechanisms for excess light energy dissipation.

Effect of mechanical stretching stimulation on maturation of human iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes co-cultured with human gingival fibroblasts

This study shows that mechanical stretching improves the maturation and differentiation of human iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes co-cultured with fibroblasts.

Diatom pyrenoids are encased in a protein shell that enables efficient CO2 fixation

This study identifies a protein shell surrounding diatom pyrenoids that enhances CO2 fixation efficiency and reveals its structural and functional role through in vivo and in vitro analyses.

Low-CO2 inducible bestrophins in diatom thylakoid membranes sustain high photosynthetic efficacy at distant locations from the pyrenoid

This study identifies PtBST1 in diatoms as a bestrophin that facilitates HCO3- transport at the stroma thylakoid membrane, enhancing CO2 concentrating mechanism and modulating photoprotection.

Movement Recognition via Channel-Activation-Wise sEMG Attention

The paper introduces a Transformer-based method for sEMG signal analysis to improve movement recognition accuracy and generalization across datasets.

Circadian oscillation in primary cilium length by clock genes regulate fibroblast cell migration

This study shows that circadian rhythms regulate primary cilia length in fibroblasts, which in turn affects cell migration and wound healing.

Stomatal regulators are co-opted for seta development in the astomatous liverwort Marchantia polymorpha

The paper shows that a Ia-IIIb bHLH TF module regulates seta development in liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, similar to its role in stomatal formation in stomatous plants.

TRF2-mediated ORC recruitment underlies telomere stability upon DNA replication stress

This study shows that TRF2-mediated ORC recruitment helps maintain telomere stability under replication stress in human cells.

CDK1 dependent phosphorylation of hTERT contributes to cancer progression

The paper shows CDK1 phosphorylates hTERT at threonine 249, which is required for RdRP activity and promotes cancer progression independently of telomerase.

Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing and its application to conditional genetic analysis in Marchantia polymorpha

This study develops efficient CRISPR/Cas9 vectors for genome editing in Marchantia polymorpha, achieving over 70% editing efficiency and enabling conditional genetic analysis.
