Dry blood spot samples to monitor immune-associated mRNA expression in intervention studies: Impact of Baker's yeast beta glucan

Description: Article describes how monitoring immunological response to physical stressors in a field setting is challenging because existing methods require a laboratory visit and traditional blood collection via venipuncture. The purpose of this study was to determine if our optimized dry blood spot (DBS) methodology yields sufficient total RNA to quantify the effect of Baker's Yeast Beta Glucan supplementation on post-exercise mRNA expression.

The formation channels of multiphase gas in nearby early-type galaxies

Description: Article describes how the processes responsible for the assembly of cold and warm gas in early-type galaxies (ETGs) are not well understood. The authors report on the multiwavelength properties of 15 non-central, nearby ETGs primary through Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) and Chandra X-ray observations, to address the origin of their multiphase gas.

ARKENSTONE – I. A novel method for robustly capturing high specific energy outflows in cosmological simulations

Description: Article describes how ARKENSTONE is a new model for multiphase, stellar feedback-driven galactic winds designed for inclusion in coarse resolution cosmological simulations. In this first paper of a series, the authors describe the features that allow ARKENSTONE to properly treat high specific energy wind components and demonstrate them using idealized non-cosmological simulations of a galaxy with a realistic circumgalactic medium (CGM) using the AREPO code.

Complexity synchronization: a measure of interaction between the brain, heart and lungs

Description: Authors of the article address the measurable consequences of the network effect (NE) on time series generated by different parts of the brain, heart, and lung organ-networks (ONs), which are directly related to their inter-network and intra-network interactions. The authors assert that these same physiologic ONs have been shown to generate crucial event (CE) time series, and herein are shown ,using modified diffusion entropy analysis (MDEA) to have scaling indices with quasiperiodic changes in… more

Two legume fatty acid amide hydrolase isoforms with distinct preferences for microbial- and plant-derived acylamides

Description: Article describes how analysis of FAAHs from multiple angiosperm species, which revealed two conserved phylogenetic groups that differed in key conserved residues in the substrate binding pocket. The authors combined computational and biochemical approaches to compare the structural and enzymatic properties of two FAAH isoforms in the legume Medicago truncatula designated MtFAAH1 MtFAAH2a.

A globally synthesized and flagged bee occurrence dataset and cleaning workflow

Description: Article describes how species occurrence data is foundational for research, conservation, and science communication, but the limited availability and accessibility of reliable data represents a major obstacle, particularly for insects, which face mounting pressures. The authors harmonized species names, country names, and collection dates and, we added record-level flags for a series of potential quality issues.

Shared metadata for data-centric materials science

Description: Article describes how the expansive production of data in materials science, their widespread sharing and repurposing requires educated support and stewardship. The authors mainly focus on computational materials-science data and propose a constructive approach for the FAIRification of the (meta)data related to ground-state and excited-states calculations, potential-energy sampling, and generalized workflows.

A general large-scale synthesis approach for crystalline porous materials

Description: Article describes how crystalline porous materials such as covalent organic frameworks (COFs) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous organic changes (POCs) have been widely applied in various fields with outstanding performances. In this work, the authors developed a general approach comprising high pressure homogenization (HPH), which can realize large-scale synthesis of crystalline porous materials including COFs, MOFs, and POCs under benign conditions.

Manipulating microRNA miR408 enhances both biomass yield and saccharification efficiency in poplar

Description: Article describes how the conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks to fermentable sugar for biofuel production is inefficient, and most strategies to enhance efficiency directly target lignin biosynthesis, with associated negative growth impacts. The authors demonstrate, for both laboratory-and field-grown plants, that expression of Pag-miR408 in poplar significantly enhances saccharification, with no requirement for acid-pretreatment, while promoting plant growth.

Systematic approaches to C-lignin engineering in Medicago truncatula

Description: Article describes how C-lignin is a homopolymer of caffeyl alcohol present in the seed coats of a variety of plant species including vanilla orchid, various cacti, and the ornamental plant Cleome hassleriana. The authors used information from a transcriptomic analysis of developing C. hassleriana seed coats to suggest strategies for engineering C-lignin in a heterologous system, using hairy roots of the model legume Medicago truncatula.

Silicon supply promotes differences in growth and C:N:P stoichiometry between bamboo and tree saplings

Description: Article describes how silicon can be important for the growth, functioning, and stoichiometric regulation of nutrients for high-Si-accumulating bamboo. The authors demonstrated that silicon supply can decrease the ratio of C:Si in bamboo leaves and increase the ratio of N:P without altering nutrient status or the N:P ratio of tree spalings.
