Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMIn a recent study published in Fundamental Research, researchers propose a novel interpretable neural network model, MULGONET, based on multi-omics information analysis by deep learning to predict tumor recurrence. The model explores the interactions between genes, biological networks, and molecular processes that the scientific community can target to identify novel biomarkers for tumor recurrence.

Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMIn a recent study published in , researchers elucidated mechanisms by which a bacterial organism and plant pathogen, Pseudomonas syringae, kills amoeba predators. The process involves a chemical sensing (radar) system, wherein the bacterium releases a compound (syringafactin) that the predator modifies. The modified compound then binds to a chemical radar regulator (CraR), causing the secretion of an amoebicidal agent (pyrofactin).

Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMIn a recent study published in Science Advances, researchers present ecological and evolutionary perspectives for alcohol attraction among Drosophila melanogaster flies. These flies, which have evolved in environments rich in alcohol, such as fermenting fruit, are driven toward alcohol to increase their mating success rather than as a coping mechanism to deal with partner rejection.

Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMIn a recent study published in Philosophical Transactions B, researchers investigated transitions in fundamental frequency (fo) vocalizations of New World monkeys. Understanding fo transitions in primate vocalization could provide valuable insights into the evolutionary aspects of their vocal communication and guide animal care practices. Study: ‘Monkey yodels’—frequency jumps in New World monkey vocalizations greatly surpass human vocal register transitions.

Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMIn a recent study published in the Journal of Animal Ecology, researchers reported the impact of energy landscapes on shaping elephant habitats. Energy landscapes are the energy expenditures of traveling across a particular landscape offset by resource gains. Image Credit: Henk Bogaard/Shutterstock.comIntroductionThe large size of elephants can hinder access to high-productive habitats.

Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMIn a recent study in Nature, researchers identified and characterized a broad-spectrum antibiotic, lariocidin (LAR). The antibiotic inhibits bacterial growth by altering protein synthesis in ribosomes. Identifying such ribosome-targeting antibiotics could lead to the development of effective antibacterial medications to reduce the antibiotic resistance burden. Study: A broad-spectrum lasso peptide antibiotic targeting the bacterial ribosome.

Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc.Peanut and tree nut allergies are not disseminated via airline cabin ventilation arrangements but through accidental dietary ingestion of allergens or their residues on seat surfaces. A recent review in Archives of Disease in Childhood presents common misconceptions regarding food allergies during air travel and discusses strategies to help prevent them.
