Peto’s paradox—the puzzling disconnect between body size and cancer prevalence across species—has long stood as one of comparative biology’s most captivating and unresolved enigmas. Through the ...

The South Asian monsoon affects more than a billion people in the Indian subcontinent. The monsoon intraseasonal oscillation (MISO) determines the spatial structure of the monsoon rainfall on ...

Nano- and microarchitected materials to date have relied on additive manufacturing techniques to produce beam-, plate-, and shell-based architectures that achieve highly desired mechanical properties ...

Despite the fact that tremendous efforts have been made on the study of quasicrystals since their discovery in 1984, nucleation of quasicrystals—the emergence of a quasicrystal from a crystalline ...

The causality between the Paleoproterozic Great Oxidation Event (GOE) and a global “snowball Earth” glaciation has remained unresolved due to an inability to determine their relative timing. We ...

The mutualistic interactions between plants and microbes have coevolved controlling the development of root branching in land plants. However, the mechanisms of how the plant microbiota contributes to ...

This study sought to assess the impact of microglial autophagic–lysosomal pathway on demyelination. Consequently, various assessments were carried out in an animal model of CNS demyelination. Our ...

About 38 million people are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) worldwide. While antiretroviral therapy suppresses HIV in patients, it does not eradicate the virus, and the regimen ...

Understanding the processes responsible for the striking plant diversity found in tropical forests has been a constant preoccupation of ecology and evolutionary biology. Recent studies have proposed a ...

Several mouse and cell models of DDX3X manipulation have been generated to examine its function during nervous system development. In vitro or in vivo knockdown of Ddx3x leads to abnormal branching ...

Ecological succession and the balance between stochastic and deterministic processes are two major themes within microbial ecology, but these conceptual domains have mostly developed independent of ...
