Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Virus-inclusive profiling of the human gut microbiome
The human gut contains not only bacteria, but also viruses. Our new tool Phanta allows researchers to quantify these populations simultaneously, offering insights into their complex interactions.
Skin basal cell carcinomas assemble a pro-tumorigenic spatially organized and self-propagating Trem2+ myeloid niche
Our study sought to identify key elements of the tumor microenvironment (TME) that drive distinct tumor states by defining the spatial organization of the TME. We find the proliferative neighborhood matures TREM2+ immunosuppressive myeloid cells into a self-propagating tumor-immune niche.
Scientists discover light conversion in free space: a manifestation of the quantum van Cittert-Zernike theorem
A new article published in Nature’s npj Quantum Information demonstrates the possibility of producing different kinds of light through propagation in free space.
Ten years of morphodynamic data for sustainable beach management
Sustained high quality data of nearshore waves and beach morphology are crucial to understand morphodynamic processes that determine beach evolution. We present a free and unrestricted dataset to support adaptation and mitigation actions under different global change scenarios in urban beaches.
Direct Allylic Acylation via Cross-Coupling Involving Cooperative N‑Heterocyclic Carbene, Hydrogen Atom Transfer, and Photoredox Catalysis
We proposed a strategy that using carboxylic acids and readily available olefins as substrates for transformations involving N heterocyclic carbene catalysis, hydrogen atom transfer catalysis, and photoredox catalysis for the synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated ketones.
