A GWAS study reveals that genes related to occupational creativity are associated with both positive and negative well-being variables, positively correlate with career success, and negatively correlate with reproductive success

The cell surface receptor TIM-3 mediates an inflammatory response in myeloid cells within mouse lungs via galectin-3.

A long-term survey on the reproductive strategy of the stony coral, Fimbriaphyllia (Euphyllia) ancora, found that the majority of the colonies change their sex every year.

Enrichment and analysis of regulatory-active chromatin cfDNA fragments in blood offer a non-invasive method for monitoring dynamic changes in epigenetic and gene expression patterns, underscoring its potential utility in precision medicine.

An interaction between the effects of developmental temperature and body mass on olfaction in a moth is explained by a positive relationship between antennal sensitivity and body mass observed only with a high temperature.

A novel marker gene search algorithm for single cell/nucleus RNA-seq improves speed by 2-3 orders of magnitude, greatly enhances accuracy, and substantially reduces false positive rates.

In this study, TSA-seq was used to compare the distribution and association of genomic regions with the nuclear lamina, nucleoli and pericentric heterochromatin across four human cell lines.

By considering differences among herbaceous, deciduous and evergreen plants and how these lead to divergent climatic responses in plant functional traits, the authors have created a comprehensive set of global trait maps.

A mechanism study revealing that a sRNA, processed from 3’ UTR of ply operon, responses to O₂ and represses Ply translation post-transcriptionally, ensuring appropriate Ply protein levels in anoxic niches and promoting pneumococcal brain invasion.

Using a generic ligand system, we show that activation via immunoreceptors is dependent on the size, but not the valency or mobility, of their cell surface ligand. This suggests that they trigger using the kinetic segregation mechanism.

In this Q&A, Brianna Bibel, also known as the Bumbling Biochemist, talks to the journal about how social media can be harnessed to relay scientific information to other researchers, while making it fun and accessible.

Conducting research at the interface of chemistry, microbiology and marine biology, Constanze Kuhlisch reports on challenges in science due to COVID and the situation in Israel, while preparing grants to start her own research group.

Embracing the underlying principles and processes of informed proxy consent or relational autonomy consent in human ancient DNA research can transform research.

This comment reports on work done at Harvard Medical School to identify areas for improvement in research rigor, reproducibility, and responsibility in pursuit of continued research excellence.

Documentation of women’s inclusion in Indian academia and conferences by BiasWatchIndia reveals the scale of underrepresentation of women across science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
