1. Profiling Allosteric Modulators of CB₁R with an Allosteric Fluoroprobe 

   Kosar, Miroslav; Perera, Themiya; Ganzoni, Rudolf L. Z.; et al. (2025)

   ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION

   Allosteric modulation of cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R) offers a promising alternative to conventional therapeutic approaches using orthosteric ligands (OLs). Currently, CB1R allosteric modulators (AMs) are characterized based on their ability to modulate binding or functional response of OLs, preventing isolation of individual contributions by allosteric and orthosteric ligands. Herein, we develop the first allosteric fluoroprobe and ...

2. A Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Markers and Candidate Genes Affecting Tolerance to the Wheat Pathogen <i>Zymoseptoria tritici</i> 

   Mikaberidze, Alexey; McDonald, Bruce A.; Kronenberg, Lukas (2025)

   Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions

   Plants defend themselves against pathogens using either resistance, measured as the host's ability to limit pathogen multiplication, or tolerance, measured as the host's ability to reduce the negative effects of infection. Tolerance is a promising trait for crop breeding, but its genetic basis has rarely been studied and remains poorly understood. Here, we reveal the genetic basis of leaf tolerance to the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria ...

3. Coherent Multidimensional Spectroscopy Reveals Hot Exciton Cooling Landscapes in CsPbBr₃ Quantum Dots 

   Ghosh, Arnab; Perez, Carlos Mora; Brosseau, Patrick; et al. (2025)

   ACS Nano

   Hot exciton relaxation dynamics is one of the main processes in quantum dots (QD), conferring their functions in optoelectronic devices spanning photovoltaics and solar fuel generation to light emitting diodes, lasers, and quantum light sources. The challenge has been to monitor energy relaxation dynamics in parallel with resolution of excitation or excess energy. Here, we exploit the unique capacity of Coherent Multi-Dimensional Spectroscopy ...

4. Replicating community dynamics reveals how initial composition shapes the functional outcomes of bacterial communities 

   Pascual-Garcia, A.; Rivett, D. W.; Jones, Matt Lloyd; et al. (2025)

   NATURE COMMUNICATIONS

   Bacterial communities play key roles in global biogeochemical cycles, industry, agriculture, human health, and animal husbandry. There is therefore great interest in understanding bacterial community dynamics so that they can be controlled and engineered to optimise ecosystem services. We assess the reproducibility and predictability of bacterial community dynamics by creating a frozen archive of hundreds of naturally-occurring bacterial ...

5. Anomalous Wetting of Hierarchical Porous Materials Studied by Time-Resolved Imaging and Pore Network Modeling 

   Fischer, Robert; Derome, Dominique; Carmeliet, Jan (2025)

   Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering

   Water uptake in textiles is measured at yarn scale using 4-D X-ray imaging and neutron radiography showing an anomalous behavior not following a square root time behavior. Water uptake in yarns characterized by a sparse pore network of elongated pores with poor connectivity shows sudden water filling events separated by long waiting times. A multiscale pore network approach is developed allowing to simulate the uptake process and a good ...
