Transient costimulatory blockade overcomes immune barriers to durable and redosable liver-directed gene therapy

This study demonstrates that combining liver-directed lentiviral gene therapy with transient costimulatory blockade overcomes adaptive immune barriers to achieve durable therapeutic factor VIII expression, immune tolerance, and the ability to safely redose the therapy in a mouse model of hemophilia A.

Institutional Trust and Perceived Environmental Benefits Influence Willingness to Participate in Restoration of Illegal Mining-Affected Degraded Sites

This study of 435 residents in Ghana's mining-affected communities reveals that while institutional trust and perceived environmental benefits significantly drive willingness to participate in illegal mining site restoration, financial contributions remain limited by income constraints and low trust, highlighting the need for governance strategies that integrate credibility with livelihood-sensitive compensation.

Host skin lipids trigger MAT-dependent mating, pathogenic hyphal growth, and parasexual reproduction of Malassezia furfur

This study reveals that host skin lipids trigger *Malassezia furfur* pathogenicity by activating a mating-type-dependent parasexual cycle that drives hyphal differentiation, enabling more efficient epidermal invasion and stronger inflammatory responses.

Proteomic analysis reveals WNT3a, TGFβ, and cAMP-dependent cell type differentiation in gastric antral mucosoids

This study demonstrates that withdrawing WNT3a and TGFβ inhibitors in human gastric mucosoids drives differentiation into antral gland-like compartments with enhanced barrier and secretory functions, while cAMP signaling further modulates cell states and mucus proteome composition, establishing a versatile model for studying gastric epithelial biology.

Development and Internal Validation of a Simplified Non-Contrast MRI Risk Model for Preoperative Differentiation of Ovarian Tumors

This study developed and internally validated a simplified, interpretable logistic regression model based on five routine non-contrast MRI features that effectively differentiates benign from malignant ovarian tumors, offering a valuable decision-support tool for settings where contrast-enhanced imaging is unavailable or contraindicated.
