The single cell transcriptional signature of sexual commitment in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum

<ns5:p> Background Malaria remains a global health challenge, with most fatal cases caused by <ns5:italic>Plasmodium falciparum</ns5:italic> in sub-Saharan Africa. A critical bottleneck in the <ns5:italic>Plasmodium</ns5:italic> life cycle is the transmission from human to mosqui...

Building a genomics-capable cancer workforce: a competency-based framework for education and training in precision oncology

Background The Lancet Oncology Commission on cancer genomics and precision oncology identified workforce capability, education, and training as major constraints to equitable implementation. As genomic and multi-omic technologies become integrated into cancer care, structured app...

Chemistry‑Driven Engineering of PEDOT:PSS Hydrogels for Next‑Generation Bioelectronic Interfaces

ABSTRACT Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) hydrogels have emerged as a versatile class of mixed ionic‐electronic conductors for next‐generation bioelectronic interfaces, owing to their unique combination of high conductivity, mechanical complianc...

Uneven Bus-based Accessibility to Essential Opportunities in Hanoi, Vietnam

Evidence on bus transport accessibility remains limited for rapidly urbanising Asian cities. This study measures bus access to nine essential opportunity types in Hanoi, Vietnam, using open-source datasets. The results show that accessibility was low, highly corridor-based and st...

Medical Laboratory Technologists’ Perceptions of Laboratory Information Systems

Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) are essential for managing laboratory workflows, yet their effectiveness depends on user acceptance. This study examined Medical Laboratory Technologists’ (MLTs’) perceptions of LIS in Indonesian laboratories. This sequential explanatory mixed...

Ntu Fracture: A Trifocal Intersectionality of Race, Gender, and Relational Theology in the UK African Diasporic Masculinity

African immigrant men in the United Kingdom (UK) experience forms of suffering that transcend both the clinical framework of acculturation stress and the political narrative of racial victimhood. Existing scholarship frequently overlooks how race, religion, and gender historicall...

An N-acetylated daropeptide modulates nematode development

The symbiotic bacterium Photorhabdus is a rich source of bioactive secondary metabolites that mediate tripartite interactions with nematodes and insect hosts. However, natural products of ribosomal origin remain largely underexplored within this ecological niche. Here, we report...

The Trade–Security Loop: How Economic Ties and Defense Alliances Co‐Evolve

ABSTRACT The relationship between international trade and security cooperation has re‐emerged as a central concern in global political economy, international relations, and international business scholarship. While research examines the effects of trade on peace and the economic...

Review of Particle Physics *

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,200 new measurements from 903 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and b...

Shifting Futures: Trends in Socioeconomic Disparities in Adolescents’ Expected Occupational Status in the United States and the United Kingdom, 2000–2018

Using data from the Programme for International Student Assessment 2000–2018, this study examined trends in adolescents’ expected occupational status, socioeconomic status (SES) gradients, and distributional SES differentials in the United States and the United Kingdom. Guided by...

Effects of rainfall on permafrost degradation in alpine desert regions of the Tibetan Plateau

Rainfall is increasing across the Tibetan Plateau, yet its effects on permafrost in alpine desert regions remain poorly understood. Using a validated one-dimensional land-surface model for a representative site, we conducted idealized experiments to isolate the effects of summer...

Affective regimes and ontological security: When empathy threatens the state

Abstract The ontological security of states may be threatened by the politics of empathy. Empathy—as a contested affective‐political field—has a capacity to both consolidate and unravel dominant understandings of identity, security, political subjectivity, and self‐other relation...

Interested, able and prepared: stakeholders’ influence in local communities during the war in Ukraine

The capacity of local actors to step up and exert a positive influence in their communities has been a key focus of international assistance in the contemporary context of overlapping crises. The centralization of powers has appeared to diminish local stakeholders’ influence in c...

Census Nonresponse and Electoral Abstention

Through censuses and election counts, the modern state regularly requires popular participation in data collection to guide and authorise its policymaking. Both exercises suffer from nonresponse, which generates a missing data problem. This missing data represents both a statisti...

Performance-Aware Deep Learning for Stock Trend Prediction and Investment Decision-Making

Deep learning methods are increasingly being applied to stock market prediction, with growing evidence that they can extract useful structure from financial time-series and related textual signals. However, prediction alone is not sufficient. In practice, model outputs must also...

Icotrokinra (ICO), a Novel Targeted Oral Peptide, in Patients (Pts) with Psoriatic Disease: Exploratory Assessments from a Phase 2 Psoriasis (PsO) Study Informing a Phase 3 Clinical Program in Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)

Objectives PsA affects ~20-30% of patients with PsO, causing articular inflammation and impaired quality of life. ICO, a novel targeted oral peptide that binds IL-23 receptor, showed greater clinical response rates vs placebo and a favorable safety profile in moderate-to-severe p...

Colonisation and temperature-driven variation in life-history traits of the West Nile virus vector Culex pipiens at its Northern European limit

Abstract Background Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) are increasing worldwide driven by factors such as travel, land-use change, global trade, and climate warming. In Europe, Culex pipiens sensu lato (s.l.)—the primary vector of West Nile and Usutu viruses—is widespread and an incr...
