Molecular Evidence of Internal Carbon-Driven Partial Denitrification Annamox (PdNA) in a mainstream Pilot A-B System Coupled with Side-stream EBPR treating municipal wastewater

This study demonstrates that a pilot-scale A-B-S2EBPR system achieves nitrite accumulation and anammox for nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment by utilizing internal carbon sources.

Cytotoxic rhamnolipid micelles drive acute virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

This study shows rhamnolipid micelles from Pseudomonas aeruginosa are highly cytotoxic to host and bacterial cells, correlating with virulence in clinical isolates.

Limited Diffusion of Scientific Knowledge Forecasts Collapse

The paper forecasts scientific knowledge collapse by analyzing diffusion patterns in biomedical research, showing limited diffusion predicts abrupt declines in popularity.

Revisiting the role of Acinetobacter sp. in EBPR systems

The paper investigates the role of Acinetobacter in EBPR systems using 16S sequencing and SCRS-FISH, finding Acinetobacter dominance and its contribution to phosphorus removal under specific operational conditions.

Comammox and Unknown Candidate AOBs Contribute to Nitrite Accumulation in An Integrated A-B stage process that Incorporates Side-stream EBPR (S2EBPR)

The paper demonstrates an integrated wastewater treatment process that achieves nitrite accumulation through comammox and unknown AOBs, revealing their role in short-cut nitrogen removal.

Absence of Telomerase Leads to Immune Response and Tumor Regression in Zebrafish Melanoma

This study shows that telomerase absence in zebrafish melanoma leads to tumor regression via immune response and cell cycle arrest, despite initial tumor formation.

In vitro Lung Epithelial Cell Model Reveals Novel Roles for Pseudomonas aeruginosa Siderophores

This study uses an in vitro human bronchial epithelial cell model to show that Pseudomonas aeruginosa siderophores pyoverdine and pyochelin have distinct roles in virulence during lung infection.

Telomere elongation in the gut extends zebrafish lifespan

This study shows that gut-specific telomerase activity in zebrafish prevents premature aging and extends lifespan by rescuing gut dysfunction and its systemic effects.

Wound-like tumor periphery in human breast cancer predicts a convergent drug nonresponse

The paper identifies a wound-like tumor periphery in breast cancer as a uniparameter marker predicting multidrug nonresponse and poor prognosis across molecular subtypes.
