- Language is a productive system, allowing children to create new utterances they've never heard before, making it tricky to determine when they first demonstrate linguistic productivity.
- Researchers conducted a study with 64 English-learning children, examining when they started to combine determiners and nouns in ways not seen in their caregivers' speech.
- By combining behavioral data and computational modeling, they found that the children were generating unique combinations similar to the model, indicating that they too were creatively using language beyond their prior experiences.
In recent years, tree-ring databases have emerged as a remarkable resource for ecological research, allowing us to address ecological questions at unprecedented temporal and spatial scales. However, concerns regarding big tree-ring data limitations and risks have also surfaced, leading to questions about their potential to be representative of long-term forest responses. Here, we highlight three paths of action to improve on tree-ring databases in ecology: 1) Implementing consistent bias analyses in large dendroecological databases and promoting community-driven data to address data limitations, 2) Encouraging the integration of tree-ring data with other ecological datasets, and 3) Promoting theory-driven, mechanistic dendroecological research.

- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most prevalent cancer in children, and while initial treatment outcomes are typically positive, relapses lead to poor prognoses.
- The study introduced a zebrafish xenotransplantation model for better understanding the complex interactions between leukemic cells and their tumor microenvironment, enhancing the ability to analyze cell behavior in real-time.
- Findings revealed that leukemic cells proliferated in a specific hematopoietic niche and displayed distinct patterns of movement, forming clusters, which could help researchers investigate how niche interactions contribute to leukemia progression and relapse.
Bacteriophage Curie is a podovirus that infects . The Curie genome spans 16,810 bp, has 90 bp terminal inverted repeats, and includes 23 protein-coding genes. Its genome architecture resembles phage PineapplePizza and other phi29-like phages.
