The ability to sense physical forces is conserved across all organisms. Cells convert
mechanical stimuli into electrical or chemical signals via mechanically activated ion …

Abiotic stresses and soil nutrient limitations are major environmental conditions that reduce
plant growth, productivity and quality. Plants have evolved mechanisms to perceive these …

Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) holds great potential as a tool to alter neural
circuits non-invasively in both animals and humans. In contrast to established non-invasive …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of amyloid β (Aβ) plaques, tau
tangles, inflammation, and loss of cognitive function. Genetic variation in a cholesterol …

Human milk is uniquely optimized for the needs of the developing infant. Its composition is
