Catabolism of extracellular glutathione supplies amino acids to support tumor growth

This study shows that extracellular glutathione supports tumor growth by providing amino acids through catabolism, and inhibiting this process slows tumor growth.

Comparison of motility of H. pylori in broth and mucin reveals the interplay of effect of acid on bacterium and the rheology of the medium it swims in.

This study compares H. pylori motility in broth and mucin under varying pH conditions, revealing how acid affects bacterial movement and interacts with the rheology of the medium.

A novel resistance pathway for calcineurin inhibitors in the human pathogenic Mucorales Mucor circinelloides

This paper identifies a novel resistance mechanism in Mucor circinelloides involving the bycA gene, which promotes yeast growth and resistance to calcineurin inhibitors through a cAMP-independent pathway.

Microbes follow Humboldt: temperature drives plant and soil microbial diversity patterns from the Amazon to the Andes

The paper shows that temperature drives coordinated diversity patterns in plants, soil bacteria, and fungi across an Andean elevation gradient.
