Rechargeable Biomineral Induced by Sulfate Reducing Bacterium Cupidesulfovibrio sp. HK-II

This study investigates biogenic mackinawite produced by Cupidesulfovibrio sp. HK-II, showing it exhibits rechargeable properties through redox reactions and structural changes during discharge and recharge.

Learning beyond-pairwise interactions enables the bottom-up prediction of microbial community structure

The paper predicts microbial community structure using higher-order interactions, showing trio combinations improve accuracy over pairwise methods.

A glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored α-amylase encoded by amyD contributes to a decrease in the molecular mass of cell wall α-1,3-glucan in Aspergillus nidulans

The paper investigates the role of AmyD, a GPI-anchored α-amylase, in regulating the molecular mass of -1,3-glucan in Aspergillus nidulans cell walls.

Histone H3K4me3 and H3K9me3 are super over-methylated in soft tissue sarcoma compared to normal muscle in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models: an indicator of cancer methionine addiction

The linkage of methionine addiction, overmethylation of histone H3 lysines and malignancy demonstrated when cancer cells revert to methionine-independence

The paper shows that methionine-independent cancer cell revertants have reduced histone H3 lysine trimethylation and lower tumorigenicity and metastatic potential compared to methionine-addicted parental cells.

The diet and feeding behaviour of the black-and-white colobus (Colobus guereza) in the Kalinzu Forest, Uganda

This study describes the diet and feeding behavior of black-and-white colobus monkeys in Kalinzu Forest, Uganda, over 30 months, revealing seasonal variations and dietary adaptations.
