Comparing the bioactivity of grape byproducts (pomace, seed extract, and skin/pulp food coloring) on DSS-induced intestinal stress in early life

According to the 2024 Progress Report for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 12.3, the call to halve global food waste is rapidly growing out of reach, and immediate action, no matter the perceived scope, is urgently needed. A major opportunity lies in grape pomace (GP)—th...

Enabling climate action: A nexus approach for delivering co-benefits across biodiversity, water, food, and health

Climate response options rarely affect biodiversity, water, food, and health in uniform ways. This comparative analysis examines why technically viable response options generate uneven cross-nexus outcomes, and how governance and justice conditions shape whether these outcomes be...

MACS3: A Peak-calling Platform for Bulk and Single-cell Regulatory Genomics

Since the original publication of Model-based Analysis for ChIP-Seq (MACS), the software has been widely used to identify enriched genomic regions in ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, CUT&RUN, DNase-seq, and related regulatory genomics assays. Over the years, MACS has evolved substantially, wi...

Signal-integrated control of immune and reparative programs establishes blood-derived fibrocytes reprogrammable toward induced pluripotency

Fibrocytes represent a distinct somatic cell type derived from peripheral blood leukocytes, first described as spindle-shaped adherent cells with dual hematopoietic and mesenchymal features. Although fibrocytes were identified in early descriptive studies across several mammalian...

Cytogenetic constraints on hybridization: A meta-analysis investigating the role of chromosome number in monocot hybrid evolution using a newly developed tool, the ploidy deviation index (PDI)

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hybridization is a major driver of plant diversity, yet the role of cytogenetic compatibility, particularly differences in chromosome number, remains poorly understood. Differences in parental chromosome number can present barriers to hybrid formation by disr...
