Summary: Previous studies suggest that humans are capable of coregulating the speed of decisions and movements if promoted by task incentives. However, it is unclear whether this behavior is inherent to the process of translating decisional information into movements. In a behavioral online study, time constraints were imposed on the decision or movement phases of a sensorimotor task, and it was found that decisions impact movement characteristics, and properties of movement impact the time taken to decide.

Summary: A decline of selection with age is commonly believed to be the reason for the evolution of ageing, but selection can also increase with age. This study demonstrates that ageing still evolves and the decline of selection with age also evolves. Therefore, the changes in selection force with age are a dynamic result rather than an implicit consequence of specific assumptions.

Summary: This study establishes a mapping that relates cortical rheology to tissue rheology, revealing the proportional relationship between tissue low-frequency elastic modulus and the rest tension of the cortex. It predicts the mapping between fractional viscocontractile cortex rheology and high-frequency fractional visco-elastic monolayer rheology, and also identifies the unsuitability of 2D hexagonal tiling models for realistic monolayer rheologies.

Summary: Hematologic malignancies are a diverse group of neoplasms arising from hematopoietic cells, commonly presenting as leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas. Genetic analyses have revealed recurrent mutations that promote metabolic reprogramming and bidirectional communication between metabolites and the genome, shaping the cellular landscape during malignant hematopoiesis.

Summary: Economics, ecology, and archaeology, while studying different aspects of resource utilization, have limited dialogue among them. However, ecosystem services (ES) can serve as a theoretical framework that links all three disciplines and can further evolve into a unified superdiscipline, providing new practical tools and resolving theoretical issues.

Summary: Standards in synthetic biology, like SBOL, require a deep understanding or specific tools for practical usage. To overcome this barrier, the Excel-SBOL Converter was developed, providing Python libraries to convert Excel templates to SBOL and vice versa. This offers a more accessible way for researchers to utilize SBOL and incorporate it into their existing workflows, either directly or through SynBioHub.

Summary: Cancer and brain research have historically focused on studying brain cancer, but now there is increasing interest in the field of neuro-oncology and the regulation of tumorigenesis in the nervous system. Evidence suggests that somatic mutations in cancer-related genes are also present in noncancerous brain disorders, indicating shared molecular alterations between cancer development/progression and nervous system pathologies. Understanding these commonalities could lead to repurposing cancer drugs for brain disorders and improving our understanding of the basis of these diseases.

Summary: The study revealed significant effects of light on the growth and sporulation of Monilinia laxa, with the highest mycelial growth rate observed under red light conditions. The fungus possesses a highly conserved set of photoreceptors that regulate development and dispersion.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between nephrolithiasis and osteoporosis. The results showed a significantly higher prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with nephrolithiasis and a higher risk of nephrolithiasis in individuals with osteoporosis.

Summary: The study found that there is a positive association between nocturia and poor sleep. Among good sleep participants, those with baseline nocturia were more likely to develop poor sleep. Among non-nocturia participants, baseline poor sleep was associated with the incidence of nocturia, particularly in women and those below the age of 50.

Summary: By studying iron bars and slag, the trade routes of iron in north-western Europe during the 2nd century BC can be revealed, indicating the rapid growth of iron production and consumption at that time in the region.

Summary: With the expansion of the Roman Empire, iron production and consumption in north-western Europe increased rapidly, leading to a growth in trade that still needs to be studied. Recent progress in archaeology and archaeometallurgy allows for the examination of long-distance exchanges. The discovery of iron bars recovered from shipwrecks off the coast of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in France provides an opportunity to analyze this trade through comparing the slag inclusions in the iron bars to primary slag from ironmaking areas in Gaul.

Summary: This study empirically investigates the trading behavior of heterogeneous clienteles during overnight and daytime sessions, and finds that feedback trading largely motivates the expected return reversals. The results show that overnight and daytime feedback trading are influenced by different factors and exhibit variations across different ETFs.

Summary: This paper focuses on the relationships between economic weights, genetic progress, and phenotypic progress in genomic breeding programs. A methodological framework for calculating expected genetic and phenotypic progress for complex breeding objectives is provided. The study also proposes a novel approach for deriving the covariance structure of estimated breeding values and explores the implications of modified breeding goals.

Summary: This feature article summarizes the development and design principles of molecular tweezers containing a molecular photoswitch as the core unit. It introduces the strategy of using a molecular photoswitch to control binding affinity and discusses the effect of substrate binding on the behavior of the molecular switch.

Summary: This study tested the toxicity of perovskite in Arabidopsis thaliana plants and found that iodide ions, rather than lead, were responsible for the toxicity at low concentrations of perovskite. The results of this study are important for further understanding and predicting the harmful effects of iodide-containing perovskites in the environment.

Summary: The root system architecture of plants changes during salt stress exposure. Different accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana adopt different strategies in remodeling their root architecture during salt stress. Salt induces a multiphase growth response in roots, and both the growth rate of main roots during homoeostasis and lateral root appearance are the strongest determinants of overall root architecture. Furthermore, a trade-off between investing in main or lateral root length during salt stress is revealed. By studying natural variation in high-resolution temporal root growth using mathematical modeling, new insights in the interactions between dynamic root growth traits are discovered.

Summary: In this study, it was found that Arabidopsis seedlings treated with lincomycin exhibited phenotypic similarities to those treated with the ethylene (ET) precursor, with the lincomycin-induced phenotype partially dependent on the ET signaling pathway. Both treatments showed overlap in upregulated gene transcripts, indicating how two apparently different stress responses converge to optimize photomorphogenesis.
