Morphological Reprogramming of Primary Cilia Length Mitigates the Fibrotic Phenotype in fibroblasts across diverse fibrotic conditions

The paper shows that altering primary cilia length in fibroblasts can reduce fibrotic responses across different fibrotic conditions.

Pseudomonas apudapuas sp. nov., Pseudomonas fontis sp. nov., Pseudomonas idahonensis sp. nov., and Pseudomonas rubra sp. nov. isolated from in, and around, a rainbow trout farm

The paper describes four novel Pseudomonas species isolated from a rainbow trout farm, identified through genomic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic analyses.

Selenocysteine metabolism is a targetable vulnerability in MYCN-amplified cancers

This study identifies LRP8 as a targetable vulnerability in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma by showing its role in selenocysteine import and resistance to ferroptosis.

Mindin is essential for cutaneous fibrogenesis in a new mouse model of systemic sclerosis

This study identifies Mindin as a key driver of fibrosis in a new mouse model of systemic sclerosis, showing its role in inducing inflammation and collagen production in fibroblasts.

Bacterial quorum sensing allows graded and bimodal cellular responses to variations in population density

This study shows Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses quorum sensing to produce graded and bimodal responses to population density changes, without a clear threshold for gene expression activation.

Identification and Characterisation of the CD40-Ligand of Sigmodon hispidus

This study clones and characterizes the CD40 ligand in cotton rats, showing its functional activity on dendritic cells and potential utility in immunological research.
