This study follows the process of single-cloning and the growth of a homogeneous cell population in a superficial environment over the course of six weeks with the end goal of showing which of five tumor growth models commonly used to predict heterogeneous cancer cell population growth (Exponential, Logistic, Gompertz, Linear, and Bertalanffy) would also best exemplify that of homogeneous cell populations.

In this study, the authors use high-throughput virtual screening to design and evaluate a set of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors for binding affinity to the protein reverse transcriptase. These studies have important applications toward HIV therapies.

There is limited evidence that extended exposure to an electromagnetic field (EMF) has negative health effects on humans. The authors measured the power density and strength of EMF at different distances and directions in front of a microwave oven, and they discuss the safety of different distances.

Here the authors investigated whether frequent use of generative AI tools triggers upward social comparison and negatively impacts users' performance self-esteem. Based on a survey of 121 adults, they found no significant relationship between AI usage and self-esteem, concluding that current chatbot interactions do not pose the same psychological threat as peer-based comparisons.

The authors monitored water quality over time looking for influences from construction and deforestation.

The authors investigate how well AI-detection machine learning models can detect real versus AI-generated art across different art styles.

In this study, the authors use aerosol optical depth data to determine if aerosol levels were lower in major metropolitan areas around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this study, the authors investigate the effects that flagella have on E. coli's ability to adhere to glass surfaces.

We investigated whether dietary calcium intake affects how adolescents handle lead internally. Using paired blood and urinary lead data, we assessed whether calcium status is associated with differences in lead clearance. The results point to subgroups of adolescents—particularly those with lower calcium intake—who may carry a higher internal lead burden than their blood levels alone would suggest.

This study investigated how 18 commonly used cosmetic products affect the growth of two skin-resident bacteria, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Micrococcus luteus. At higher concentrations, half of the tested products inhibited at least one bacterial species, suggesting that some cosmetics may disrupt the skin microbiome and its natural balance.
