Using gene complementation to identify a SulP-family bicarbonate transporter in an N2-fixing cyanobacterial endosymbiont of an open ocean diatom

The paper identifies a SulP-family bicarbonate transporter in a cyanobacterial endosymbiont of a diatom using gene complementation in a mutant strain.

Evolution of Multicellularity Genes in the Lead Up to the Great Oxidation Event

This study identifies the timing of gene evolution related to multicellularity in cyanobacteria leading up to the Great Oxidation Event.

Colonization of larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) with adherent-invasive Escherichia coli prevents recovery of the intestinal mucosa from drug-induced colitis

This study shows that AIEC colonization in a larval zebrafish model worsens DSS-induced colitis and prevents mucosal recovery.

An autochthonous model of lung cancer in the Naked Mole-Rat (Heterocephalus glaber)

This study develops an endogenous lung cancer model in naked mole-rats, showing tumor initiation more closely resembles human tumors than in mice.

Spatio-temporal coherence of circadian clocks and gating of differentiation in Anabaena filaments

The paper investigates how circadian clocks regulate heterocyst differentiation and nitrogen fixation in Anabaena filaments under nitrogen deprivation.

YAP condensates are highly organized hubs for YAP/TEAD transcription

This study shows YAP forms organized condensates under Hippo pathway and actin tension, which stabilize YAP and recruit coactivators to enhance transcription.

Structural biases in disordered proteins are prevalent in the cell

The paper shows that structural biases in intrinsically disordered proteins persist in human cells and can respond to intracellular changes.

CmP signaling network unveils novel biomarkers for triple negative breast cancer in African American women

The paper identifies 21 novel biomarkers for triple-negative breast cancer in African American women through analysis of the CmP signaling network.

Hydration-dependent phase separation of a prion-like protein regulates seed germination during water stress.

This study identifies FLOE1, a prion-like protein in Arabidopsis thaliana, whose hydration-dependent phase separation regulates seed germination under water stress.

Phase separation of YAP reorganizes genome topology for long-term YAP target gene expression

This study shows YAP forms liquid-like condensates that reorganize genome topology to enable long-term target gene expression.
