Evaluating the Effects of Environmental Disturbances and Pesticide Mixtures on N-cycle related Soil Microbial Endpoints

This study evaluates how environmental disturbances and pesticide mixtures affect soil microbial communities and nitrification processes.

Antiviral RNA interference targets viral transcripts but not genomes of RNA viruses in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper identifies polyadenylated viral transcripts as the primary targets of the Drosophila siRNA pathway during RNA virus infection, rather than viral genomes.

First-in-class Transactivator-Free, Doxycycline-inducible IL-18-engineered CAR-T cells for relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphomas

This paper develops doxycycline-inducible IL-18 CAR-T cells (iTRUCK19.18) that enhance antitumor activity while controlling IL-18 release through dual mechanisms.

LRH-1/NR5A2 Activation Rewires Immunometabolism Blunting Inflammatory Immune Cell Progression in Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes and Enhances Human Islet Function in Mice

This study shows that activating LRH-1/NR5A2 reduces inflammation in T1D by altering immune cell metabolism and improves human islet function in mice.

BCL7 proteins, metazoan-specific subunits of the mammalian SWI/SNF complex, bind the nucleosome core particle

This study identifies BCL7 proteins as nucleosome-binding subunits of the mSWI/SNF complex and shows cancer mutations reduce their affinity for nucleosomes.

Dominant Role of Stochastic Processes in Soil Fungal Communities in Pioneer Forests at a Regional Scale

This study shows that stochastic processes dominate soil fungal community assembly in Populus davidiana forests, with elevation having a greater impact than seasonality.

Phylogenomics reveals extensive misidentification of fungal strains from the genus Aspergillus

The paper uses genome-scale phylogenomics to analyze 711 Aspergillus genomes, revealing taxonomic issues and strain misidentifications.

The establishment of Populus x Laccaria bicolor ectomycorrhiza requires the inactivation of MYC2 coordinated defense response with a key role for root terpene synthases

This paper shows that MYC2.1 and MYC2.2 transcription factors in poplar repress defense genes, including terpene synthases, which are critical for Laccaria bicolor to establish ectomycorrhizal symbiosis.

The Toll pathway mediates Drosophila resilience to Aspergillus mycotoxins through specific Bomanins

This study shows that the Drosophila Toll pathway and specific Bomanins enhance resilience to Aspergillus mycotoxins by mitigating toxin effects rather than directly killing pathogens.

Molecular basis of differential adventitious rooting competence in poplar genotypes

The paper identifies molecular differences in adventitious rooting competence between two poplar genotypes and shows that MYC2 expression levels influence rooting ability.

LRH-1/NR5A2 regulates the PTGS2-PGE2-PTGER1 signalling axis contributing to islet survival and antidiabetic actions of the agonist BL001

This study identifies BL001's mechanism of action through LRH-1/NR5A2 activation, showing it protects beta cells via the PTGS2-PGE2-PTGER1 signalling pathway.

The ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor releases a GH28 polygalacturonase that plays a key role in symbiosis establishment

This study identifies LbGH28A, a polygalacturonase from Laccaria bicolor, as essential for ectomycorrhiza formation by degrading pectin in fungal and plant cell walls during symbiosis.

The Metabesity Factor HMG20A Potentiates Astrocyte Survival and Reactivity Preserving Neuronal Integrity

This paper shows HMG20A promotes astrocyte survival and reactivity in the adult brain, preserving neuronal integrity under metabolic stress.

Translation Inhibitory Elements from Hox a3 and a11 mRNAs use uORFs for translation inhibition

This study identifies two distinct mechanisms by which Hox a3 and a11 TIE elements inhibit cap-dependent translation using uORFs.

Colonization of naïve roots from Populus tremula x alba involves successive waves of fungi andbacteria with different trophic abilities

This study tracks the colonization of poplar roots by bacteria and fungi over time, revealing distinct colonization stages and shifts in microbial community composition.

Spelling changes and fluorescent tagging with prime editing vectors for plants

This paper develops and validates prime editing vectors for plants, enabling large insertions and fluorescent tagging in dicots and monocots.

Laccaria bicolor MiSSP8 is a small-secreted protein decisive for the establishment of the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis

This study identifies MiSSP8 as a small-secreted protein essential for early ectomycorrhizal symbiosis by regulating hyphal aggregation and pseudoparenchyma formation in Laccaria bicolor.

RNA Binding Motif Protein 48 is required for U12 splicing and maize endosperm differentiation

This study identifies RBM48 as a U12 splicing factor in maize that promotes endosperm differentiation and interacts with U12 and U2 splicing factors.

Five years investigation of female and male genotypes in Perigord black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) revealed contrasted reproduction strategies

The study investigates the genetic structure of male and female genotypes in Perigord black truffle over five years, revealing contrasting reproduction strategies and dynamics.
