The study investigates whether Colpoda cucullus resting cysts can tolerate saline conditions, suggesting a mechanism for oceanic dispersal of freshwater protists.

The paper functionally and structurally analyzes the cyclization domain of a cyclic β-1,2-glucan synthase, revealing it produces cyclic β-1,2-glucans through transglycosylation without hydrolysis and proposes it belongs to a new glycoside hydrolase family.

This study investigates incompatibility-triggered cell death in Aspergillus oryzae by showing that mitochondrial fission dysfunction alleviates cell death during incompatible heterokaryon formation.

This study examines 2D and 3D vascular and white matter changes in CADASIL, HTRA1-AD, and sSVD using light-sheet fluorescence microscopy, revealing distinct patterns of degeneration.

This study analyzes 834 Klebsiella pneumoniae genomes to investigate the frequency, distribution, and dynamics of large recombination events, finding that gene composition influences the success of such events.
