Born on Mars: Multigenerational phenotypic change in Caenorhabditis elegans under Martian analog gravity and hypomagnetic fields

This study examines transgenerational effects of Martian analog gravity and hypomagnetic fields on C. elegans, finding progressive impairments and increased phenotypic variability across generations.

Structure-Guided Mutagenesis Targeting Interactions between pp150 Tegument Protein and Small Capsid Protein Identify Five Lethal and Two Live Attenuated HCMV Mutants

The paper identifies five lethal and two live attenuated HCMV mutants by mutating pp150-capsid interactions, revealing critical residues for viral replication.

Mitochondrial Haplogroup Association with Fasting Glucose Response in African Americans Treated with a Thiazide Diuretic

The paper examines the association between mitochondrial haplogroups and fasting glucose response to thiazide diuretics in African Americans, finding small effects on glucose but not blood pressure.

Dual RNase and β-lactamase activity of a single enzyme encoded in most Archaea

The paper identifies dual RNase and β-lactamase activity in an archaeal enzyme, challenging previous annotations and highlighting functional specialization over time.

A metallo-beta-lactamase with both beta-lactamase and ribonuclease activity is linked with traduction in giant viruses

The paper identifies a metallo-beta-lactamase with dual beta-lactamase and ribonuclease activity in a giant virus and shows its RNase activity is not inhibited by common inhibitors.
