Article Synopsis
- Creating a positive research culture within a team is essential for long-term success, benefiting the research program, the sector, and society as a whole.
- A supportive environment empowers team members, provides clear career development pathways, and fosters impactful and reproducible research, emphasizing the importance of kindness and integrity.
- Implementing thoughtful lab values, using clear communication, and practicing self-reflection as a manager contributes to a self-sustaining system of scientific integrity and resilience against challenges.
Article Synopsis
- Evolutionists and ecologists are interested in how polyploidization (having more than two sets of chromosomes) affects plant evolution and ecology, particularly in understanding the genetic background of polyploid plants.
- The study looked at two tetraploid plants, determining their diploid ancestors and finding evidence that one had an autopolyploid origin, while the other may have come from an extinct or unstudied species.
- Results showed significant gene expression changes in the tetraploids, with adaptations related to high levels of UV-B and DNA repair, indicating they might be better suited for high-altitude environments, and pointing to future research opportunities in understanding plant evolution.
Therapeutics for traumatic brains injuries constitute a global unmet medical need. Despite the advances in neurocritical care, which have dramatically improved the survival rate for the ~ 70 million patients annually, few treatments have been developed to counter the long-term neuroinflammatory processes and accompanying cognitive impairments, frequent among patients. This review looks at gene delivery as a potential therapeutic development avenue for traumatic brain injury.

Interleukin-33 promotes the expansion of tissue-resident T and group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s); however, how T locally coordinate their function within the inflammatory niche is not understood. Here, we show that ILC2s are critical orchestrators of T function.
