CX3CR1 Modulates Migration of Resident Microglia Towards Cortical Laser‐Induced Lesions
CX3CR1 deficiency promotes microglial migration toward CNS injury. Proteomic profiling reveals altered RHO‐mediated cytoskeletal signaling, while in vivo two‐photon imaging demonstrates increased process extension, velocity, and accumulation of Cx3cr1‐deficient microglia at lesion sites. ABSTRACT Microglia are innate immune cells of the central nervous

Gut Microbiome Diversity, Functional Potential, and Ecological Relevance of Hottentotta tamulus
Long‐read 16S sequencing uncovers the gut microbiome of H. tamulus. A highly conserved and low‐diversity bacterial community dominates the gut fauna. Bacillus and Mycoplasma lineages emerge as predominant candidate endosymbionts. Exploratory profiles reveal potential sex‐specific trends in microbial abundance.

Kogia Records in Brazilian Equatorial and Southwestern Atlantic Oceans
ABSTRACT The pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales are cryptic cetaceans characterized by inconspicuous surfacing behavior, small group sizes, and deep‐diving habits, making visual detection particularly challenging. Here, we present the first broad‐scale passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) assessment of Kogia spp.

Virome diversity and novel virus discovery in Italian ticks through metatranscriptomics
Ticks are parasites of a wide range of animal species and the main vectors of many viruses of health concern. However, a genome-scale characterization of tick diversity in Italy remains lacking, although several areas of the country are known to be ...

ABSTRACT Biphonation—the simultaneous production of two independent fundamental frequencies within a single vocalization—is a prominent feature of killer whale calls, yet the factors influencing the presence and intensity of heterodyne frequencies, which arise from interactions between these fundamentals, remain poorly understood. We analyzed long‐term

A deployed investigative AI search engine for combating human trafficking at web scale
Abstract Online human trafficking investigations generate vast amounts of noisy, heterogeneous, and deliberately obfuscated data, making traditional search and analytics tools ineffective for supporting law enforcement. This paper discusses the deployment of the Domain‐Specific Insight Graphs (DIG) system, an AI‐powered investigative search engine that
