This study shows that the TWK-26/KCNK3 potassium channel and FLR-4 protein kinase work together in C. elegans to regulate nutrient absorption and metabolic homeostasis.

This study evaluates two acidotropic dyes for detecting mixotrophy in protists using lab cultures and field samples, finding they have mixed success with false positives and negatives.

This study identifies PQM-1 as a stress-responsive transcription factor that promotes proteostasis and organismal survival through a secondary wave stress response mechanism.

The paper analyzes global ocean data to show that physical and biological patchiness are decoupled, using variance slope to quantify spatial patterns.

The paper uses metatranscriptomic and metaproteomic analysis of plankton biomass collected across a 1,050 km transect in the western North Atlantic Ocean to reveal shifts in microeukaryote community composition and metabolic function across depth and environmental gradients.

The paper introduces a metatranscriptome assembly pipeline and validates it using simulated data, then applies it to real datasets to improve taxonomic and functional discovery.

The paper identifies a signaling network in C. elegans where DRL-1/FLR-4 MAP Kinases and opposing FLR-2/FSHR-1 signaling regulate growth and lipid homeostasis via p38/PMK-1 and PHA-4/FOXA.
