MARLOWE ranked microbial contributors well in controlled tests, but its results were less reliable for secondary sources and less specific than MiCId in the broader comparison.
A systematic review of GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 drugs found no consistent signal of psychiatric harm, but said the evidence is too mixed to determine whether most reported outcomes are treatment-related.
In cultured U2OS cells, repeated sodium arsenite exposure was linked to smaller stress granules, reduced assembly at lower follow-up doses and less docking with P-bodies.
A laboratory study used temperature-responsive material patterns to turn planar hydrogel constructs into programmed 3D forms, then measured curvature, motion, viability and cell behavior during culture.

Digital FDG PET/CT detected more cases of cranial giant cell arteritis than an initial scan reading and had 100% specificity in the analyzed group, while the study stopped short of showing it should replace ultrasound or biopsy.

A new arXiv preprint reports a reconstruction ensemble that combined multiple cryo-EM ab initio jobs. It achieved 97.4% accuracy on a 45-class asymmetric synthetic benchmark, versus 34.6% for the best single-shot run, and separated four major ribosomal assembly states from junk in an unfiltered experimental stack.
A new preprint combines blood-cell measurements with computer simulations to examine how Gaucher disease-associated red-cell changes relate to deformation, confined flow and viscosity.
The SWEB model estimated crop water use and root-zone soil moisture across Australian grain regions, with correlations of 0.70 to 0.85 across most regions and higher errors in southeast Australia.

A new arXiv preprint proposes one continuum-mechanics framework for bounded, unbounded and proportionate tissue growth. Its central results are theoretical: the model predicts a stress threshold, long-term proportions set by material parameters and a turnover-dependent growth rate, but it does not test those predictions against biological measurements.
