Moelter et al. in the Moeller Lab at the University of Nebraska at Omaha analyze 10 cases of drug cartel innovation and find that enforcement constraints act as creative catalysts. Cartels systematically recruit engineers and soldiers and repurpose everyday technologies.

Velle et al. in the Fritz‐Laylin Lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst show that Naegleria amoebae probe narrow channels until they enter, then crawl persistently using only blebs at over 50 μm/min across more than 1 mm.

Li et al. show that fluoroquinolone antibiotics boost neurotoxic methylmercury in Chinese paddy soils by up to 19.7%, selectively favoring antibiotic-tolerant, hgcA-carrying sulfate-reducing bacteria that use the reductive acetyl-CoA pathway to methylate mercury.

Downey et al. in the Condron Lab at Oakland University find that expanding state child health insurance coverage during Medicaid expansion raised fourth-grade test scores: each percentage point lifted low-income students' reading by 0.08 SD and math by 0.06 SD.

Gray et al. in the John Lab at the University of Liverpool meta-analyse 15 studies of adults over 50, finding autistic individuals report much greater cognitive difficulty (d = 0.90) but show only small objective deficits in processing speed, verbal fluency and working memory.

Tan et al. in the Li Lab at City University of Hong Kong use nanopore direct RNA sequencing to show that the insect-specific Eilat virus generates far more deletion-type defective genomes than related arboviruses, reflecting premature termination by a low-processivity replicase.

Jauhola et al. propose theorizing social reproduction as an entanglement of violence and care, drawing on Latin American feminist ideas of everyday oppression and cuerpo-territorio to center multispecies relationality and reject the nature–society binary.

Todisco et al. in the Jain Lab at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research show that simulated and purified E. coli mRNAs spontaneously cluster, yet native sequences resist self-association better than randomized controls, suggesting evolution selects for transcriptome solubility.

Wang et al. in the Yang Lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences sampled 691 soils across seven montane forest plots and found that nematode α- and γ-diversity track plant turnover, while β-diversity reflects dispersal limitation governed by body width.

Demeester et al. find that individuals with sexual interests in minors (N = 90) report markedly higher anxiety, depression, and stress than the general population. Self-stigma links to this distress partly through brooding rumination and poor emotional attentional control.

Clayton et al. argue that some people who detransition after medical gender-affirming treatment may meet DSM-5-TR criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder. They also propose moral injury, newly coded as Z65.8, as a framework for clinicians assessing these patients' distress.

Dejeux et al. in the Luquet Lab at Lyon 1 Université show that in Physa acuta snails, poorly fed parents produce lower-condition offspring even when food is plentiful, offspring that build weaker predator defences but invest more in reproduction.

Choe et al. in the Myung Lab at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology show that in landfill leachate, PHB fully mineralizes within 17 days and PLA reaches 83.6% over 320 days, while PBAT persists. Few genomes carrying depolymerase genes actually express them.

Chen et al. in the Baker Lab at the University of Washington Medical Center design over 300 nanomolar binders to coactivators like p300 and Mediator, revealing an ultrasensitive activation threshold near 500 nM and CRISPRa effectors outperforming VPR.

Harris et al. in @alexeimaklakov.bsky.social's lab at the University of East Anglia show that larval starvation in C. elegans boosts offspring fitness but imposes costs on great-grand offspring. Simulations reveal that genotypes exploiting this short-term gain still outcompete rivals.

Ye et al. show, across five preregistered studies (N = 1305), that people judge feigned empathy as less moral but more sociable than honest unempathy, yet prefer interacting with and allocating resources to falsely empathic people, driven mainly by perceived sociability.

Mismatched mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in fruit flies shape how larvae cope with early dietary and metabolic stress, altering development, survival and female fertility in sex- and line-specific ways. Adult resting metabolic rate and activity, however, remain unaffected.

Erdem Kan et al. show that meritocratic rhetoric in Turkish shipping, voiced by male seafarers and corporate statements, functions as a masculine legitimizing myth that justifies exclusion, normalizes harassment, and individualizes inequality.

Warneke et al. introduce an R package that lets researchers predefine content-based "limits of acceptance" for test-retest agreement, judging whether task habituation is sufficient and addressing the descriptive, clinically unanchored limits of Bland-Altman analysis.

Wenyi Wang analyzes 20,367 U.S. youth surveyed from 2015 to 2023, finding that bisexual, gay, and questioning teens face 2 to 4 times higher odds of suicidal ideation and planning. Victimization and hopelessness, however, do not affect them uniformly differently than heterosexual peers.

Jiang et al. in the Ma Lab at Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine demonstrate SpliceRACER, protein-free splicing riboswitches that control three orthogonal channels for 27 combinatorial expression states in mammalian cells.

Araujo et al. in the Lurgi Lab at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University show that environmental fluctuations create enough among-host microbial variation for host-level selection, letting even weak vertical transmission evolve and produce dense, host-specific.

Kibralew et al. in the Segon Lab at Injibara University find that among 405 substance-using high-school students in Northwest Ethiopia, 7.4% reported suicidal ideation and 4.4% suicide attempts, linked to depression, khat chewing, stress, and family history of suicide.

Femke Vulto traces the brown shrimp supply chain, showing that European managers manage risk, Dutch North Sea fishers invoke luck, and Moroccan peelers appeal to destiny. These divergent views of the future reveal the moral economies driving global labor.

Zhu et al. in the Yuan Lab at Tianjin University show that two soil bacteria degrade about 70% of n-hexadecane at 1.5 M NaCl using distinct strategies: Acinetobacter relies on AlkB enzymes and biofilms, while Bacillus uses P450 oxidation and compatible solutes.

Jensen et al. in the Mahamid Lab at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory combine in-cell cryo-ET, proteomics and integrative modeling to identify a Mycoplasma pneumoniae complex linking Sec translocation to extracellular folding, supporting both co- and post-translational pathways.

Dobbs et al. in the Mahamid Lab at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory use cryo-electron tomography to map nearly all of bacterial translation inside a minimal bacterium, revealing how transcription, translation, and membrane engagement machineries structurally coordinate in single cells.

Browning et al. in the Kirk Lab at McLean Hospital track 311 adults in residential OCD treatment and find that OCD and depression symptoms each predict only themselves over time. They find no cross-lagged effects, except week-1 quality of life predicting week-2 OCD.

Silva et al. in the Schmeichel Lab at Texas A&M University find that college students tested beside a fake gun, rather than a stapler, scored worse on attention-control tasks across two preregistered experiments (N = 628), suggesting armed campuses may impair cognition.

Alberto Vázquez-Salazar argues that the RNA world is best seen as an RNA-centered evolutionary phase, not an RNA-only biosphere, citing polymerase ribozymes, wet–dry cycling and peptide–RNA chemistry. Peptides emerge as coevolving partners in testable ribonucleoprotein models.

Shang et al. in the Qiu Lab at Central China Normal University show that the desert cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme uses a riboswitch-controlled guanidine carboxylase pathway to remobilize internal nitrogen, enabling rapid recovery after rehydration before nitrogen fixation kicks in.

Gan et al. in the Golden Lab at Purdue University West Lafayette fuse a T-box riboswitch tRNA-binding module to a flexizyme, creating a ribozyme that aminoacylates a specific tRNA, is retargetable to other tRNAs, and works in vitro to insert noncanonical amino acids.

Rozo Pardo et al. show that independent component analysis extracts lung ventilation and perfusion maps from free-breathing, contrast-free MRI more faithfully than Fourier decomposition or matrix pencil methods, retaining over 90% of contrast even under irregular breathing or heartbeat.
