This study identifies mesenchymal stem cells in cavernous hemangioma using scRNA-seq and proposes their origin from epiblast stem cells, along with new cell types and molecular mechanisms involved in tumor formation and immune responses.

The paper investigates the relationship between antagonism and phylogeny in Bacillus by analyzing biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and finds a positive correlation between BGC distance and phylogenetic distance.

This study identifies CaMYB101 as an anthocyanin biosynthesis repressor in pepper through genome-wide R2R3-MYB analysis and virus-induced gene silencing.

The paper shows the Delta variant can escape NTD antibodies and gain infectivity when specific RBD mutations are present, suggesting the need for updated vaccines.

This paper uses micro-CT to study the appendage structure of Pygmaclypeatus daziensis, revealing its heteronomy and suggesting an ancestral exopodite morphology in Artiopoda.

This study shows that IFN-I in lupus skin reduces Langerhans cell ADAM17 activity, leading to increased photosensitivity, and that anti-IFNAR treatment restores ADAM17 function and reduces photosensitivity.

The paper develops a high-throughput method to measure protein interaction affinity without purification, applied to SUMO E2/E3 enzymes and substrates, revealing co-recognition and affinity mechanisms.

The paper develops a framework to quantify DOM-microbe associations under global change, finding that molecular traits and nutrient enrichment influence these interactions differently in subarctic and subtropical climates.

The paper tests how combined nutrient and light availability affect alien plant competitiveness and finds that multiple resources increase alien plant dominance over natives.

This study identifies the P681R mutation in the Delta variant's spike protein as critical for enhanced viral replication compared to the Alpha variant through increased furin cleavage of the spike protein.

This study shows SIRPα enhances IL-4/13 signaling in macrophages by sequestering SHP-2, promoting alternative activation and immunosuppression.

This study examines how nutrient enrichment and herbivory by an invasive snail interactively affect growth of an invasive macrophyte and native macrophytes in freshwater mesocosms.

This study identifies sporadic dissemination of tet(X3) and tet(X6) in livestock-associated Acinetobacter through diverse plasmidomes, highlighting the need for One Health surveillance.

The paper identifies an AP-3-dependent pathway in yeast leading to vacuole membrane permeabilization and cell death, conserved in Cryptococcus neoformans.

This study shows that Bacillus velezensis SQR9 uses a type VII secretion system to acquire iron from plant roots, enhancing its colonization.

This study identifies CaMKK2 as a regulator of MDSC expansion, showing its inhibition reduces tumor growth and enhances antitumor immunity.

The paper investigates the SARS-CoV-2 Lambda variant, finding it more infectious due to specific mutations and better immune evasion, contributing to its spread in South America.

This study evaluates the neutralizing capacity and protective efficacy of human polyclonal IgG against SARS-CoV-2 variants in vitro and in a transgenic hamster model.

The paper investigates how drought indirectly affects alien plant invasion through soil fauna, finding that soil fauna reduce invasion by boosting native plants, but this effect weakens under drought.

The paper determines the cryo-EM structure of the chloroplast ClpP complex and shows how the co-chaperonin inhibits its proteolytic activity.

The paper investigates how herbivory and nutrient availability fluctuations interact to affect alien plant dominance in synthetic communities.

This study uses molecular dynamics and experiments to analyze how mutations in SARS-CoV-2 variants affect their binding to ACE2, identifying which variants are more contagious.

This study investigates chronic phage release from Lactococcus lactis without cell lysis, showing phage particles are engulfed in lipid membranes and most bacteria remain viable.

The paper identifies RYR1 as a key channel regulating sweet and umami perception in rats through Ca2+ dynamics and proposes a metabolic clock model.

The paper identifies TGF-β-dependent differentiation of stem-like CD8+ T cells into tissue-resident memory T cells in tumor draining lymph nodes, which negatively correlates with tumor vaccine response.

This study identifies LENG8 as an mRNA processing factor that regulates mitochondrial activity by controlling mRNA nuclear export and mitochondrial protein expression.

This study shows that a single mucosal dose of the live attenuated RSV-based vaccine MV-014-212 protects non-human primates from SARS-CoV-2 infection by reducing viral shedding and inducing neutralizing antibodies.

This study investigates how retrocyclin-101 inhibits flavivirus infection by targeting the NS2B-NS3 protease and the DE loop of the E glycoprotein.
