This study identifies C28 as a compound that modulates IKs channel voltage sensor activation, reversing drug-induced APD prolongation without affecting normal APD.

This study shows alantolactone has antifungal effects against Candida albicans by inhibiting adhesion, biofilm formation, and cell membrane permeability.

This paper introduces a fast 3D printing method called FLOAT to create large-scale biocompatible hydrogel models with minimal deformation and cellular injury.

This study shows that deleting Slc26a9 in parietal cells of mice leads to spontaneous gastric cancer and identifies molecular mechanisms involved in tumor progression.

This paper demonstrates that engineered T cell libraries with CAR constructs can recognize nonself-antigens, expand clonally, persist, and show immunologic memory against tumors in murine models.

This study shows that the bacterial QS molecule DSF suppresses Arabidopsis innate immunity by altering sterol biosynthesis and disrupting FLS2 receptor dynamics.

This study genetically modifies human macrophages with CARs to target SARS-CoV-2, showing that CARMERTK macrophages reduce viral load without increasing proinflammatory cytokines.

This study identifies lipid differences in plasma, microvesicles, and exosomes between preterm and full-term pregnancies, finding microvesicle lipids better predict preterm birth risk.

The paper proposes a unifying diversity-area relationship (DAR) framework for species and gene diversity in microbiomes, demonstrating its application to human gut metagenomes across diseases and healthy controls.

This study shows mosquito defensin enhances JEV infection by promoting virus adsorption and down-regulating an antiviral protein.

This paper identifies CD206 and CD209 as receptors for Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm carbohydrates, showing they interfere with receptor function and may modulate immune responses.

The paper withdraws its manuscript due to the need for further experiments to validate conclusions.

The paper compares silicone and cotton swabs for RNA extraction in COVID-19 testing, finding silicone swabs yield higher RNA concentration and quality.

This study analyzes exome sequencing data from paired primary tumors and metastases to investigate clonality and timing of metastatic spread across cancers.

This study shows that soluble fungal polysaccharides are immunosilent in peripheral tissues but become potent immunogens in draining lymph nodes without requiring dendritic cell migration.

The paper identifies RPS15 as an antimicrobial peptide with conserved antibacterial activity across species, showing it can kill bacteria through membrane disruption and ROS induction.

This study shows infrared heater warming reduces dew formation by 41.6%-91.1% and shortens its duration by 32.1 days in alpine grasslands.

The paper shows TIGIT-Fc promotes immune tolerance at the feto-maternal interface by enhancing IL-10 production and TH2 polarization in decidual CD4+ T cells, and increasing pregnancy rates in stressed mice.

The paper investigates how microbiome-associated diseases affect inter-subject microbiome heterogeneity using Taylor's power law extensions and a large dataset of 25 studies, finding that disease effects are significant in 10%-17% of cases.

The paper analyzes human vaginal, semen, and gut microbiomes to show that reproductive system microbiomes have distinct heterogeneity scaling compared to the gut microbiome, supporting ecological and evolutionary stability theories.

This study shows that the stringent response in Francisella tularensis enhances oxidative stress resistance by altering gene expression and increasing antioxidant enzyme production.

The paper demonstrates that Gαi proteins can form complexes with β-arrestin, independent of their canonical G protein coupling, and these complexes can bind GPCRs and ERK.

This study examines the effects of CEPA and 1-MCP on flower bud differentiation in apple trees grafted on different rootstocks, finding CEPA promotes flowering while 1-MCP has no significant effect.

This study tests eDNA detection for invasive crayfish in rice terraces, finding it more sensitive than trapping and suggesting repeated sampling for reliable monitoring.
