Behavioural Plasticity Is Associated With Climate Tracking in Birds
1 Introduction Climate change is driving a global redistribution of biodiversity on Earth (Parmesan and Yohe 2003; Chen et al. 2011). As temperatures increase, many species respond by shifting their geographic distributions towards cooler environments, typically moving poleward in latitude or upward in elevation, to track suitable climatic conditions (Chen et al. 2011).
Potential role of PDLIM1 in the tumorigenesis of acute myeloid leukemia: a comprehensive bioinformatics and in vitro study
Abstract PDLIM1 has been associated with the development of multiple malignancies, but its expression profile and clinical relevance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have not been fully characterized. In this study, publicly available datasets were analyzed to assess differences in PDLIM1 mRNA expression between AML samples and healthy controls, while its protein abundance was preliminarily examined by immunohistochemistry.
A Multi-Condition Pulverized-Coal Flame Stability Evaluation Method Based on an Image-Level Adversarial Autoencoder and Adaptive Updating
ABSTRACT To support carbon-neutrality targets, high penetration of wind and photovoltaic power has increased peak-shaving requirements for coal-fired units, leading to frequent boiler load variations and combustion instability. An adaptive framework for pulverized-coal flame stability evaluation under multiple operating conditions was developed based on a self-built 10 kW combustion test rig.
Fundamental Problems in Combustion Physics Driving Renewable Energy Conversion
Dear Colleagues, Combustion science serves as the foundation for energy conversion, propulsion systems, and emission control technologies. With the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions, understanding the fundamental physics of combustion processes has become more critical than ever.
Disproportionality analyses of acoltremon: a real-world safety assessment based on the the FDA adverse event reporting system database
Abstract Introduction: Acoltremon is a first-in-class transient receptor potential melastatin 8 agonist approved for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. Given its increasing clinical use following recent approval, post-marketing evaluation of its adverse event (AE) profile is warranted.
Models for the architecture of the human inner kinetochore on centromeric α-satellite CENP-A nucleosome arrays
Abstract Human kinetochores assemble onto centromeric DNA comprising repetitive arrays of the 171 bp α-satellite sequence. To understand the higher-order architecture of the inner kinetochore assembled onto α-satellite arrays, we show cryo-EM structures of CCAN with free DNA, and α-satellite repeat monomers and dimers with CENP-A nucleosomes. CCAN bound to free DNA and a monomeric CENP-A nucleosome engages 70 bp of DNA comprising 30 bp of an upstream α-satellite repeat.

Role of mechanical allostery in kindlin-mediated integrin activation - Communications Physics
Abstract Kindlin proteins are central regulators of integrin-mediated cell adhesion, a process essential for various biological and pathological processes. Although structural studies have proposed that kindlins promote integrin activation and clustering via domain-swapped homodimers, this hypothesis has been challenged by the extremely slow in vitro dimerization kinetics, leaving the physiological regulatory mechanism unresolved.

Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment (using ROB 2.0) were performed independently.
Self-management of lower limb lymphedema at home following gynecologic cancer surgery: a qualitative study of women’s experiences and challenges
Introduction Gynecological malignancies represent a major threat to women’s health worldwide. The surgical treatment of these cancers often involves extensive lymph node dissection, particularly in the pelvic and inguinal regions, which predisposes patients to the development of lower limb lymphedema (LLL) (Lindqvist et al., 2017).

Mechanism of DNA targeting by human LINE-1
Editor’s summary Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1) mobilizes by inserting into new genomic sites through its open reading frame 2 protein (ORF2p), which has endonuclease (EN) and reverse transcriptase (RT) activities. Jin et al. determined ORF2p’s structure bound to an RNA-DNA hybrid in its RT site and a Y-shaped DNA on its surface. ORF2p binds double-stranded DNA without sequence specificity, and the single-stranded DNA path suggests dynamic EN positioning during cleavage.
Loss of Ythdf3 causes Danon disease-like features
Abstract YTH domain-containing family (YTHDF1/2/3) recognizes m6A modified mRNAs and regulates their stability, translation and function. We found loss of Ythdf3 in mice caused cardiac hypotrophy, myopathy, and intellectual abnormalities, resembling the clinical features of a rare inherited X-linked disorder Danon disease (DD). Mechanistically, this was attributable to the compromised mRNA decay of sex-determining region Y (SRY)-box 9 (Sox9), mediated by YTHDF3 m6A reader function.

Autoinhibition and relief mechanisms for MICAL monooxygenases in F-actin disassembly - Nature Communications
Abstract MICAL proteins represent a unique family of actin regulators crucial for synapse development, membrane trafficking, and cytokinesis. Unlike classical actin regulators, MICALs catalyze the oxidation of specific residues within actin filaments to induce robust filament disassembly. The potent activity of MICALs requires tight control to prevent extensive damage to actin cytoskeleton. However, the molecular mechanism governing MICALs’ activity regulation remains elusive.

Double training reveals an interval-invariant subsecond temporal structure in the brain
Abstract Subsecond temporal perception is critical for understanding time-varying events. Many studies suggest that subsecond timing is an intrinsic property of neural dynamics, distributed across sensory modalities and brain areas. Furthermore, we hypothesize the existence of a more abstract and conceptual representation of subsecond time, which may guide the temporal processing of distributed mechanisms.

Autoinhibition and activation of myosin VI revealed by its cryo-EM structure - Nature Communications
Abstract Myosin VI is the only molecular motor that moves towards the minus end along actin filaments. Numerous cellular processes require myosin VI and tight regulations of the motor’s activity. Defects in myosin VI activity are known to cause genetic diseases such as deafness and cardiomyopathy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the activity regulation of myosin VI remain elusive.

Pediatric ultrasound-guided dorsal penile nerve block and sedation in spontaneous breathing: a prospective observational study
Introduction One of the most frequent surgical procedures in the pediatric population is circumcision, following which postoperative pain could be stressful (1). To minimize psychological trauma in children, adequate analgesia during surgery and in the postoperative phase must be achieved (2). Usually, the most common anesthesiologic approach is combining regional anesthesia techniques such as caudal block, ring block, or dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) with general anesthesia (GA) (3).

Ocular dominance-dependent binocular combination of monocular neuronal responses in macaque V1
Abstract Primates rely on two eyes to see depth, while keeping a stable vision when one eye is closed. Although psychophysical and modeling studies have investigated how monocular signals are combined to form binocular vision, the corresponding neuronal mechanisms, especially in V1 where most neurons become binocular but with different eye preferences, are not well understood.
