The study tracks vagino-cervical microbiome changes in 60 women over a year after oral probiotics, finding no colonization but stability in Lactobacillus-dominated communities and potential benefits for some individuals.

The paper identifies a small molecule that specifically binds to a tandem UU:GA mismatch motif in RNA, highlighting the importance of motif context for small molecule targeting.

This study shows that co-culturing Salinispora tropica with phytoplankton activates cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters and produces novel secondary metabolites.

This study investigates how wild-type AAV and adenovirus super-infection affect rAAV mobilization, showing increased rAAV production and transduction under certain conditions.

This study determines the structural basis for hormone-controlled antibiotic production in Actinobacteria by solving the X-ray structure of an MmfR-AHFCA complex and elucidating DNA release mechanisms.

The paper identifies core transcription factors regulating root growth in soybean under water deficit by integrating phylogenetic analysis and transcriptome data.

The paper identifies 3,763 SUMO1 modification sites and their dependence on six SENP proteins, revealing SENP3's role in innate immunity through deSUMOylation of DHX15 and PCBP2.

This study identifies BCAT2 as a suppressor of ferroptosis in cancer cells, showing its role in regulating glutamate levels and enhancing resistance to ferroptosis-inducing therapies.

The paper assembles over 56,000 metagenome-assembled genomes from oral microbiome samples, revealing new taxa and biomarkers for diseases.

This study shows that transient Dux overexpression improves SCNT and chemical reprogramming efficiency, while Dppa2/4 do not, and Dux treatment makes SCNT embryos resemble fertilized embryos.

This paper identifies FvLcp1, a secreted type-D fungal LysM protein with chitin-binding domains, as a key factor in fumonisin production and host recognition in F. verticillioides during maize infection.

This study analyzes the vagino-cervical microbiome of 516 women using metagenomic shotgun sequencing to explore how pregnancy, delivery, and contraception influence microbiome composition.

This study shows that Coxiella burnetii phase II can grow under normoxic conditions in ACCM-2 with tryptophan, and its transformant grows robustly without tryptophan, suggesting tryptophan and a temperature-sensitive signal are involved in normoxic growth.

The paper identifies Streptomyces sp. S816 as a pentamycin producer and shows that the ptnJ gene encodes a cytochrome P450 responsible for converting filipin III to pentamycin.

This study shows that T-cell activation increases in stiffer 3D hydrogels compared to softer ones, indicating mechanical sensing by T cells.

The paper shows that Aux/IAA proteins regulate glucosinolate levels, which in turn affect drought tolerance in Arabidopsis by influencing stomatal regulation.

This study shows that TLR2 stimulation enhances esophageal epithelial barrier function by increasing tight junction protein expression and altering chromatin structure.

This study shows that FADD is critical for intestinal intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL) development, particularly affecting CD8αα+ TCRγδ+ T cells, and its loss worsens colitis.

This study shows that high IQGAP3 expression in breast cancer is linked to poor prognosis and resistance to radiation therapy.
