Development of a simple and easily interpretable cultivar identification system using 18 InDel markers in Japanese Pummelo (Citrus maxima)

This study developed a simple and practical cultivar identification system for Japanese pummelo using 18 selected InDel markers detectable via standard PCR and gel electrophoresis, which not only enables efficient protection of breeders' rights but also provides insights into the genetic relationships and parentage of key cultivars.

AIGCRS-AMP30: AI Framework for Antimicrobial Peptide Generation, Classification, Regression, and Selection

The paper introduces AIGCRS-AMP30, an integrated AI framework that combines diffusion-based generation, classification, and regression models to design short, potent antimicrobial peptides, which were experimentally validated to show high efficacy against multidrug-resistant pathogens with low host toxicity.

Determinants of fractal motor activity regulation: insights from a large community-dwelling multi-ethnic population

This study analyzes a large multi-ethnic cohort to demonstrate that fractal motor activity regulation is significantly influenced by age, sex, physical activity levels, and race/ethnicity, with distinct patterns observed across different demographic groups that could enhance early Alzheimer's disease detection.

Chuangyu Liquid promotes wound healing by modulating an AKT1‑centered regulatory network based on network pharmacology and molecular docking

This study demonstrates that Chuangyu Liquid promotes cutaneous wound healing by modulating an AKT1-centered regulatory network, a mechanism identified through network pharmacology, molecular docking, and validated by in vivo experiments showing increased Akt1 mRNA and AKT protein levels.

The wheat immune receptor Yr28 recognises a highly conserved effector from stripe rust

This study identifies the highly conserved effector AvrYr28-01 as the target of the wheat immune receptor Yr28, explaining its broad-spectrum and potentially durable resistance against stripe rust despite the presence of unrecognized paralogous variants and age-dependent resistance suppression.
