Microbial Sources and Stress Shape the Hidden Endophytes of an Invasive Plant
A controlled growth-chamber experiment with the invasive plant Ageratina adenophora shows that tissue type, microbial source assemblages, temperature and water availability jointly structure endophytic communities and growth responses.

Firebreaks Leave Lasting Scars in Grasslands While Wildfire Heals Fast
A three-year study in Hungarian dry grasslands found that low-intensity wildfire caused only temporary vegetation changes, while emergency disk-harrowed firebreaks left ruderal plant communities that still differed from reference grasslands three years later.

ZNF207 shields glutamine transporter ASCT2 from degradation to fuel liver cancer growth
ZNF207 stabilizes the glutamine transporter ASCT2 by blocking SPOP-driven ubiquitin-proteasome degradation, sustaining AKT/mTORC1 signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Amateur maps and sketches helped put Hong Kong’s wartime pillboxes on official charts
A University of Hong Kong study traces how decades of enthusiast field surveys, published maps and government aerial photography shaped the official mapping and conservation of 13 Japanese pillboxes on Luk Keng Knoll.

Heavier logging trucks only pay off when the road network lets them work
A simulation study of roundwood transport in Värmland, Sweden, shows that heavier trucks reduce costs and emissions only when the road network's bearing capacity allows them to carry full loads.

Serum and urine protein biomarkers may sharpen prostate cancer detection beyond PSA
A systematic review of sixteen studies finds that emerging serum and urine protein biomarkers, including PHI, PSP94/PSA ratio, ANXA3 and uromodulin peptides, can complement PSA testing to improve prostate cancer detection and risk stratification.

One gene locus flags atrial fibrillation risk after major surgery, UK Biobank study finds
A genome-wide study of more than 140,000 UK Biobank surgery patients identified a PITX2 risk locus for postoperative atrial fibrillation and linked polygenic risk scores for chronic diseases to the corresponding surgical complications.

Deep-learning CT reconstruction sharpens calcium visibility in phantom tests, but dose evens the score
In a thorax phantom study, 68-keV monoenergetic CT gave the highest contrast-to-noise ratio for calcium-mimicking inserts but also the highest radiation dose, leaving dose-normalized performance broadly similar across acquisition strategies.

Pennywort Leaf Extract Lowers Blood Sugar in Diabetic Rats, Study Finds
A water extract of Hydrocotyle bonariensis leaf reduced fasting blood glucose by up to 66.4 percent in diabetic rats over three weeks, outperforming metformin in the same experiment.

Supersulfated cement outperforms Portland cement in curbing concrete’s alkali-silica reaction
Accelerated mortar bar testing showed two supersulfated cement compositions resisted alkali-silica reaction like pozzolan-containing Portland cement, while pozzolan-free Portland cement expanded beyond limits and lost compressive strength.

Hidden Peptides in Non-Coding RNAs Reshape Cardiovascular Biology
A new review argues that some non-coding RNAs produce functional peptides and act as bifunctional regulatory units in cardiovascular disease.

Tumor-Made Androgen Marks Breast Cancer Subtype and Survival Odds
Breast tumors with high intratumoral androstenedione show gene activity linked to lower proliferation, earlier stage and better survival, while low levels mark triple-negative disease.

Floods Drive Leptospirosis Outbreaks in Southeast Asia, Review Finds
A systematic review of eight studies published between 2020 and 2025 finds that leptospirosis outbreaks across Southeast Asia consistently follow floods, typhoons, and monsoons with a one-to-three-month lag, driven by stagnant contaminated water, poor drainage, and behavioral…

Hormone replacement therapy after cervical cancer treatment: a Japanese claims-based cohort study
A Japanese claims-based cohort study of 1,520 women treated for cervical cancer found that only 22.0 percent started hormone replacement therapy within six months, with use falling steeply with age and continuing for a median of about two years.

Elliptical Midline Excision With Rectangular Flap Shows Low Complications in Pilonidal Sinus Study
A retrospective study of 102 patients reported a 7.8% complication rate, a 4.9% one-year recurrence rate and rapid wound healing after elliptical midline excision with rectangular advancement flap reconstruction for pilonidal sinus disease.
