A Novel OsMPK6‐OsMADS47‐PPKL1/3 Module Controls Grain Shape and Yield in Rice
OsMADS47 is identified as a key regulator governing rice grain morphology. Phosphorylation‐dependent regulation of its activity directs the development of slender versus round grains, modulating both yield and appearance. This mechanism bridges cellular signaling with transcriptional regulation, establishing a molecular framework for grain optimization.

Abstract Liver cancer stem cells (CSCs) account for tumor initiation, heterogeneity and therapy resistance. However, the role of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in the regulation of liver CSCs remains largely unclear. Here, this work identifies a conserved H/ACA box snoRNA SNORA74A which is highly expressed in liver CSCs.

Single-cell Motility Analysis of Tethered Human Spermatozoa. [PDF]
Vigorous sperm flagellar motility is essential for fertilization, and so the quantitative measurement of motility is a useful tool to assess the intrinsic fertility potential of sperm cells and explore how various factors can alter sperm's ability to ...

A novel stepwise micro-TESE approach in non obstructive azoospermia [PDF]
Background: The purpose of the study was to investigate whether micro-TESE can improve sperm retrieval rate (SRR) compared to conventional single TESE biopsy on the same testicle or to contralateral multiple TESE, by employing a novel stepwise micro ...

Different from mitosis, the female meiosis undergoes asymmetric division that produces haploid oocytes and polar body, which is essential for retaining maternal components to support subsequent fertilization and embryo development. However, the underlying mechanisms are still largely unknown.

Larger testes are associated with a higher level of polyandry, but a smaller ejaculate volume, across bushcricket species (Tettigoniidae) [PDF]
While early models of ejaculate allocation predicted that both relative testes and ejaculate size should increase with sperm competition intensity across species, recent models predict that ejaculate size may actually decrease as testes size and sperm ...

A Magnetically Transformable Twisting Millirobot for Cargo Delivery at Low Reynolds Number
Herein, a soft millirobot, TwistBot, that transforms from a flat shape to a helical shape to propel in fluids at low Reynolds number is reported. Its geometry is optimized by numerical simulation and validated by experiments to effectively propel and deliver solid cargos.
