PtoJAZ gene family analysis in Poplar 741 and insect resistance identification for PtoJAZ10

This study comprehensively characterizes the 39-member PtoJAZ gene family in *Populus tomentosa* 741 and demonstrates that the overexpression of the MeJA- and herbivory-responsive PtoJAZ10 enhances insect resistance in transgenic tobacco by modulating jasmonic acid/abscisic acid levels, antioxidant enzyme activities, lignin accumulation, and key defense-related signaling pathways.

Three-Dimensional Mapping of Exploratory Priority in a Full-Sphere Workspace Using Immersive Virtual Reality

This study utilizes an immersive virtual reality paradigm to map the non-uniform three-dimensional spatial organization of exploratory priority in healthy adults, revealing distinct patterns of lower-space omissions, leftward asymmetry, and medial-to-lateral scoring gradients within a full-sphere workspace.

Isolation and antigenic characterization of calcareous corpuscle-associated proteins from Taenia solium cysticerci

This study establishes a reproducible two-phase methodology for isolating calcareous corpuscles from *Taenia solium* cysticerci and characterizes their associated proteins as a diverse, immunoreactive set of at least 23 distinct bands, providing a foundational framework for future diagnostic and immunological research in cysticercosis.

Long-term responses of butterfly communities to peatland restoration are predictable

Based on a 19-year study of 18 Finnish peatland sites, the research demonstrates that while peatland restoration consistently benefits specialist butterfly species, the magnitude of these community responses is predictable from short-term outcomes and landscape context, offering a valuable opportunity for early evaluation of restoration effectiveness.

Intragenic deletions from whole genome sequencing of 1054 suicide deaths

This study utilizes whole genome sequencing of 1,054 suicide deaths and 1,230 controls to identify eleven rare intragenic deletions with significantly elevated frequencies in suicide cases, implicating genes involved in mental health, neuronal function, and metabolic processes as potential contributors to suicide risk.

Hypoxia-Preconditioned DPSC-EVs Couple Angiogenesis and Odontogenesis to Drive Dentin–Pulp Complex Regeneration via a Distinct miRNA Cargo

This study demonstrates that hypoxic preconditioning enhances the regenerative potency of dental pulp stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles by enriching them with specific miRNAs (hsa-miR-423-5p and hsa-miR-193b-3p) that synergistically couple angiogenesis and odontogenesis to drive successful dentin–pulp complex regeneration.

Single-cell viral capture identifies injury-remodeling programs and host-response candidates in RSV-infected airway organoids

By reanalyzing single-cell RNA sequencing data from RSV-infected airway organoids with viral transcript capture, this study distinguishes direct infection responses from bystander effects to identify specific injury-remodeling programs and prioritize host-response candidates, such as CD73 and the SYK inhibitor Fostamatinib, for future therapeutic screening.

Sensory Noise Traits Predict Illusion Susceptibility and Multisensory Mismatch Negativity

This study demonstrates that individual differences in sensory noise traits and common-cause priors, derived from a novel bidirectional audiovisual rabbit task and Bayesian causal inference modeling, predict both behavioral susceptibility to multisensory illusions and specific neural signatures of multisensory mismatch processing in the occipital cortex.

Association of Luteinizing Hormone/Choriogonadotropin Receptor rs2293275 Polymorphism with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Susceptibility and Reproductive Outcomes in an Iraqi Population

This study demonstrates that the LHCGR rs2293275 GG genotype and G allele are significant risk factors for polycystic ovary syndrome in Iraqi women, strongly correlating with elevated AMH levels and menstrual irregularities.
