This study demonstrates that intraspecific variation in pre-existing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal colonization patterns and associated root traits, such as root diameter and tissue density, is critical for predicting drought and nutrient stress tolerance in alfalfa and sainfoin.
This study reveals that Chikungunya virus non-structural protein 3 (nsP3) hijacks the host Hsp70-TOM20 axis to trigger PINK1/Parkin-independent mitophagy, thereby degrading the mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) and enabling immune evasion.
This study demonstrates that smoke-derived compounds, specifically karrikin 1 and mandelonitrile cyanohydrin, can stimulate or inhibit the germination of Cerrado ground-layer species in a concentration- and species-dependent manner, offering potential applications for ecological restoration.
This study identifies widespread, depth-structured phages encoding the ammonia oxidation gene *amoC* that actively infect specific bacterial hosts in freshwater lakes, revealing a previously overlooked viral contribution to the nitrogen cycle.
This study presents a graphene-based electro-biosensing methodology that utilizes a wearable quantum transducer interface to achieve real-time, non-invasive monitoring of tissue stress and dynamic homeostatic regulation through bidirectional phase-inversion feedback.
This study demonstrates that ISGylation of STING drives neuroinflammation and dopaminergic neuronal death in Parkinson's disease models by activating c-Fos through a positive feedback loop, suggesting that targeting this ISG15-STING axis offers a novel therapeutic strategy.
This study reveals that moderate activation of ghrelin receptors in dorsomedial striosomes regulates conflict-based decision-making by enhancing cost sensitivity through a specific neural circuit involving the lateral habenula and substantia nigra pars compacta.
This paper introduces a transparent, reproducible computational model called the Normalized Head-Impact Dose (HID) that integrates impact frequency, rotational acceleration, and cumulative vulnerability to estimate and compare lifetime brain-injury burdens across six contact sports, revealing that combat sports carry the highest risk while providing a forward-looking framework for assessing neurodegenerative exposure with quantified uncertainty.
This paper introduces the Optic Disc Colour Ratio (ODCR) as a label-free proxy for fundus pigmentation to reveal that diabetic retinopathy screening models systematically assign higher referral probabilities to dark-pigmented fundi due to reduced vessel-background contrast, a disparity driven by sensitivity-calibrated decision rules that remains invisible to standard AUC metrics but is critical for fairness auditing.
This study demonstrates that regenerating forests at La Selva, Costa Rica, can support high densities of mantled howler monkeys, Central American spider monkeys, and Panamanian white-throated capuchins while maintaining their coexistence through distinct activity budgets and vertical space use despite overlapping habitat preferences.
