Persistent trade-offs balance competition and colonization across centuries

The paper shows a trade-off between competitive ability and host colonization in Pseudomonas populations has persisted for centuries.

Genetic encoding of climate-responsive stomatal developmental plasticity in tomato

The paper identifies SlSPCH variants affecting stomatal development in tomato in response to environmental cues using CRISPR/Cas9 and live-cell reporters.

SPEECHLESS duplication in grasses expands potential for environmental regulation of stomatal development

The paper investigates SPCH gene duplications in grasses and shows how paralog-specific divergence in response to environmental changes affects stomatal development.

CK2 inhibition suppresses glial inflammation in the brain

This study identifies CK2 as a key driver of glial inflammation in neurodegenerative disorders and shows that its inhibition reduces inflammation in AD models.

Multi-scale dynamics influence the division potential of stomatal lineage ground cells in Arabidopsis

The paper investigates how cell size influences division potential in Arabidopsis stomatal lineage ground cells through multi-scale mechanisms.

Evolutionary loss of foot muscle during development with characteristics of atrophy and no evidence of cell death

The paper investigates the developmental loss of foot muscles in jerboas, finding muscle atrophy without cell death, suggesting evolutionary remodeling through disease-like mechanisms.

Interspecies transcriptome analyses identify genes that control the development and evolution of limb skeletal proportion

The paper identifies genes controlling limb skeletal proportion differences between mouse and jerboa by comparing transcriptomes of growth cartilages and finding species-specific expression patterns.
