Proteomic Insights from Thrombolytic Ex-Vivo Machine Perfusion in an Extended uDCD Porcine Model

This study demonstrates that thrombolytic ex-vivo machine perfusion rescues extended uncontrolled donation after circulatory death porcine kidneys by clearing microvascular obstructions and reprogramming the proteome toward a functional state that converges with live-donor controls, thereby mitigating ischemic injury and preventing fibrosis.

Pasteurized probiotic fermented milk Attenuates DSS-Induced-Colitis via modulation of specific intestinal metabolites

This study demonstrates that pasteurized fermented milks containing *Bifidobacterium animalis* subsp. *lactis* ProbioM8, *Lactobacillus paracasei* PC01, or their combination alleviate DSS-induced colitis in mice by modulating specific intestinal metabolites, restoring gut barrier function, and regulating distinct inflammatory and metabolic pathways.

Selective vulnerability and resilience of thalamic neuronal populations in Frontotemporal Dementia

This study utilizes a large-scale single-nucleus RNA-sequencing atlas to reveal that Frontotemporal Dementia selectively targets specific inhibitory and RNF220+ excitatory neuronal populations in the human thalamus while sparing RNF220- excitatory neurons, identifying intrinsic molecular programs such as cytoskeletal maintenance and elevated progranulin expression that confer resilience against neurodegeneration.

Phase separation behavior of TDP-43 governs its protein interactome and regulation of alternative splicing

This study demonstrates that TDP-43 phase separation governs its protein interactome and alternative splicing regulation, as evidenced by the discovery that mutations altering condensate dynamics differentially modulate interactions with key RNA regulatory factors.

Timed Self-Excision of PlWUS-IPT Resolves the Transformation Efficiency-Phenotype Trade- off in Tobacco

This study demonstrates that using an estradiol-inducible Cre/loxP system to temporally excise the morphogenic regulator PIWUS-IPT at 3 days post-cocultivation resolves the trade-off between high transformation efficiency and developmental defects in tobacco, yielding normal plants with a 1.35-fold increase in overall efficiency and enhanced genome editing outcomes.

Covalent versus noncovalent chlorogenic acid binding: Divergent effects on the gastrointestinal fate and allergenic potential of soybean 7S globulin

This study reveals that chlorogenic acid modulates the digestibility and allergenicity of soybean 7S globulin through distinct mechanisms, where noncovalent binding enhances proteolytic clearance of antigenic fragments while covalent conjugation masks IgE epitopes, offering a strategic framework for designing hypoallergenic soybean ingredients.

Unsaturated Fatty Acid-Rich Diets Modulate Plasticity in Pre-Adult Fitness, Behavior, and Development in Drosophila melanogaster

This study demonstrates that unsaturated fatty acid-rich diets in *Drosophila melanogaster* accelerate pre-adult development and increase larval activity while reducing pupariation height and survivorship, indicating a developmental plasticity that decouples normally linked life-history traits.

In vitro antibacterial activity of ethanolic peel and seed extracts of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli

This study demonstrates that ethanolic extracts of sweet orange peels and seeds exhibit concentration-dependent antibacterial activity against *Staphylococcus aureus* and *Escherichia coli*, with peel extracts showing the strongest effect, thereby validating the potential of these agro-waste residues as a low-cost source of antibacterial compounds.

Forest management history, habitat heterogeneity, and landscape context shape parasitoid wasp (Ichneumonoidea) abundance in boreal spruce forests

This study demonstrates that in boreal spruce forests, the abundance of parasitoid wasps is shaped by a complex interplay of forest management history, dead wood heterogeneity, and scale-dependent landscape connectivity, with near-natural forests generally supporting higher abundances of diverse functional groups compared to formerly clear-cut sites.
