This study identifies PafE as an ATP-independent proteasome activator in M. tuberculosis, revealing its mechanism of substrate capture and gate activation through structural and functional analyses.

This study identifies miR-20a/LRIG1/EGFR axis as a regulator of gastric cancer multidrug resistance and suggests it as a therapeutic target.

The paper reports the first draft genome sequence of Lomentospora prolificans, assembled using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore reads, resulting in a highly contiguous genome with 8,656 protein-coding genes.

This study shows that polyploidy in the liver suppresses tumorigenesis while hyperdiploidy accelerates it in mutagen and high fat models.

This paper evaluates the activity of 34 essential oils against Borrelia burgdorferi stationary phase cells, identifying oregano, cinnamon bark, and clove bud as highly effective against persisters and biofilms, with carvacrol as the most active component.

This paper reviews the origin, functioning, and degradation of the Kobresia pygmaea ecosystem in the Tibetan highlands, identifying key factors affecting its resilience and carbon dynamics.

This study identifies 17 novel genes associated with D-cycloserine resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis through whole genome sequencing of resistant mutants.

The paper investigates how common tuberculosis drugs affect clofazimine activity in vitro and explores its potential for treating multi-drug-resistant TB.

This study identifies drugs that enhance pyrazinamide's anti-persister activity by screening a clinical drug library against M. tuberculosis cultures enriched with persisters.

This study evaluates sulfa drugs and their combinations against stationary phase B. burgdorferi, finding that some combinations are more effective than single drugs but less than a positive control.
