GBP2 aggregates LPS and activates the caspase-4 inflammasome independent of the bacterial encapsulation factor GBP1

This paper shows GBP2 can trigger pyroptosis by aggregating free LPS and activating caspase-4, independent of GBP1's bacterial binding function.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene expression during fermentation of Pinot noir wines at industrially relevant scale

This study analyzes Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene expression during Pinot noir wine fermentation at pilot scale, identifying both common and novel expression patterns related to industrial conditions.

Transcriptomics provides a genetic signature of vineyard site with insight into vintage-independent regional wine characteristics

The paper identifies genetic signatures of vineyard sites in wine fermentation, showing that microbial DNA presence does not correlate with gene expression but that gene expression patterns can distinguish regional wine characteristics.

Seasonal and social factors associated with spacing in a wild territorial electric fish

This study examines seasonal and social factors influencing territory size in wild electric fish, finding that body size and gonadal hormones affect territory size differently across breeding and non-breeding seasons.

Detection of cytosolic Shigella flexneri via a C-terminal triple-arginine motif of GBP1 inhibits actin-based motility

This paper shows human GBP1 uniquely captures cytosolic Gram-negative bacteria via a C-terminal triple-arginine motif, inhibiting their actin-based motility and cell-to-cell spread, while Shigella uses IpaH9.8 to resist GBP1 targeting.
