Evolutionary history and microbial cross-feeding shape lifestyle-stratified dominance of Bifidobacterium longum subspecies in infants

The paper analyzes the evolutionary history and microbial interactions of Bifidobacterium longum subspecies in infants, finding that subspecies distribution is shaped by ecological factors and cross-feeding rather than host-specific factors.

Arabidopsis Group I Pumilio RNA-binding factors are vital for embryo development and balancing between growth and stress resistance

This study shows that Arabidopsis group I PUM proteins regulate growth and stress resistance by controlling gene expression, with triple mutants showing growth defects and quadruple mutants being embryonically lethal.

Disruption of the VEGFR3-HSPG2 induces lymphatic reflux dysfunction and sepsis

The paper identifies lymphatic reflux dysfunction as a driver of sepsis by showing that VEGFR3-SOX18-HSPG2-heparan sulfate disruption impairs lymphatic barrier function and promotes systemic inflammation.

An unrecognized and crucial role of chloroplast division in leaf variegation in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study identifies VAR2's role in chloroplast division and its impact on leaf variegation in Arabidopsis thaliana through genetic and microscopic analyses.

The fetal hydrops-associated single-residue mutation L322P abolishes mechanical but not chemical activation of the PIEZO1 ion channel

The paper identifies a mutation in PIEZO1 that abolishes mechanical activation but not chemical activation, showing a direct link between mechanosensitivity and fetal hydrops.
