Characterization of Clinically Relevant Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence Determinants in Environmental Enterobacterales

This study characterizes the Cooum River in Chennai as a significant environmental reservoir for multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent *Klebsiella pneumoniae*, highlighting the critical public health risks posed by the high prevalence of colistin-resistant strains carrying key virulence genes in urban aquatic ecosystems.

Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics define a C3-centred multicellular ecology in colorectal liver metastasis

By integrating single-cell and spatial transcriptomics with computational modeling, this study defines a C3-centered multicellular ecology in colorectal liver metastasis characterized by a specific malignant state and stromal-vascular interactions that drive poor prognosis and reveal a MAPK-linked network vulnerability potentially targetable by PD-0325901.

Malignant B-cell States Orchestrate Spatially Organized Immune Ecosystems in B-cell Lymphomas

This study demonstrates that the malignant differentiation state of B-cell lymphomas, rather than histological subtype, causally dictates the spatial organization and immune composition of the tumor microenvironment, revealing a shared developmental continuum where dark zone states drive immune depletion and post-germinal center states promote immunosuppression.

Pan-cancer analysis identifies DIP2C as a favorable prognostic biomarker and suppressor of cell migration in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma

This study identifies DIP2C as an independent favorable prognostic biomarker and tumor suppressor in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) through comprehensive pan-cancer bioinformatic analyses and in vitro functional validation demonstrating that its downregulation correlates with poor survival and enhanced cell migration.

Developmental temperature induces consistent patterns of plasticity in lower, but not upper, critical thermal limits in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)

In marine threespine stickleback, developmental temperature induces consistent, family-wide plasticity that lowers the critical thermal minimum in response to cooler early-life conditions, whereas its effect on the critical thermal maximum is minimal and inconsistent across families.

Sleep Apnea Detection Using Artificial Neural Networks of Physiological Signals, Copula-Based Analysis, and Nonlinear Dynamics

This research proposes a hybrid framework that integrates artificial neural networks with nonlinear dynamical analysis (including phase-space reconstruction, Lyapunov exponents, and Poincaré maps) and copula-based multivariate modeling to achieve highly accurate and reliable automated detection of sleep apnea by capturing both linear and complex breathing patterns.

Mapping the resistance landscape: A large-scale study of polymyxin-resistant pathogens circulating in low-and middle-income countries

This large-scale study of 634 polymyxin-resistant bacterial isolates from 28 low- and middle-income countries utilizes whole-genome sequencing and phenotypic testing to reveal the clonal expansion and horizontal gene transfer of high-risk lineages, underscoring the critical need for enhanced genomic surveillance to guide treatment strategies and mitigate the spread of resistance to last-resort antibiotics.

Neuroinflammation-Associated Cardiac Alterations: Roles of the Kynurenine Pathway, Autophagy, and Apoptotic Signaling

This study demonstrates that experimental neuroinflammation induces cardiac dysfunction through coordinated inflammatory, oxidative, and metabolic stress involving kynurenine pathway dysregulation and impaired autophagy, while revealing that dexamethasone's ability to suppress inflammation and apoptosis is insufficient to prevent cardiac injury or restore autophagic function.
