Identifying the core genome of the nucleus-forming bacteriophage family and characterization of Erwinia phage RAY

The paper identifies a core genome of nucleus-forming bacteriophages and characterizes the replication mechanism of Erwinia phage RAY.

Cuticular profiling of insecticide resistant Aedes aegypti

This study investigates cuticular resistance mechanisms in insecticide-resistant Aedes aegypti using ssNMR, GC-MS, and TEM, finding increased cuticle thickness and polysaccharide abundance.

Bet-hedging antimicrobial strategies in macrophage phagosome acidification drive the dynamics of Cryptococcus neoformans intracellular escape mechanisms

This study identifies that stochastic phagosomal acidification and oxidative stress drive stochastic Dragotcytosis in Cryptococcus neoformans, enabling fungal escape from macrophages.

Cryptococcus neoformans capsule regrowth experiments reveal dynamics of enlargement and architecture

This study isolates and characterizes Cryptococcus neoformans capsule polysaccharides using physical and enzymatic methods, revealing that the capsule is assembled from smaller polymers added distally.

Human Nerve-on-a-Chip. Engineering 3D functional human peripheral nerve in vitro

The paper develops a human peripheral nerve-on-a-chip system that enables neurite outgrowth, myelination, and nerve conduction velocity evaluation in vitro.
