Herbivore-specific plant defense responses to a pre-attack risk cue
Cues of potential herbivory, such as the locomotion mucus from gastropod herbivores, may influence germination and growth. Because it remains unclear whether use of gastropod cues to initiate defense is a widespread phenomenon in plants, we examined how mucus from multiple gastro...

Choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are being investigated as redox flow battery electrolytes, where solvent viscosity plays a central role in governing ionic mobility, mass transport, and pumping efficiency. In this combined experimental and computational study,...

Natural genetic variation in rhizobia and alfalfa influence nodule shape and symbiotic performance
Abstract In many host-microbe symbioses, hosts develop specialized organs that house microbial symbionts. In legume-rhizobium symbiosis, these organs are called root nodules. While many studies have focused on host traits like plant growth, nodule number, and their structural cha...

Understanding the tumor microenvironment has the potential to significantly advance precision oncology, but this effort has been hampered by the scarcity of consistent large data sets. Here, we introduce MOSAIC (Multi-Omics Spatial Atlas in Cancer), a multi-center clinical omics...

Gender and Obstetric Violence in Britain, ca. 1750–1830
ABSTRACT Obstetric violence is a form of gendered violence experienced by pregnant and birthing people, particularly women, during medical care provided in the hospital, clinic or home. Recent scholarship has explored how obstetric violence and obstetric racism manifested histori...

ABSTRACT Hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML) is a rare variant of perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms (PEComas). Unlike its more common renal angiomyolipoma (RAML), the unique spatial microenvironment of HAML and its specific progression mechanisms remain poorly characterized. Here...

High-resolution binding data of TFIID and cofactors show promoter-specific differences
Abstract TFIID is instrumental in recognizing promoter sequences and initiating transcription, yet a cohesive understanding of how this complex engages and functions at different promoter types in vivo is still lacking. Here, we employed ChIP-nexus to capture high-resolution bind...
