This study reveals that SpoIVA forms track-like polymers during bacterial spore development, with dimerization and ATPase activity playing distinct roles in its assembly and function.

This study investigates the role of AP-1 clathrin adaptor complex in vesicle trafficking, cell wall integrity, and virulence in Botrytis cinerea, finding defects in secretion and pathogenicity in an AP-1 mutant.

This study shows that symbiotic microalgae enhance photosynthetic production and carbon storage within a host, driven by host energetic demands.

The paper introduces an Advanced Mobile Laboratory (AML) for field-based microbial ecology and cell biology, enabling multiscale analysis of environmental samples directly at the sampling site.

The paper develops a semi-automated workflow using FIB-SEM data and nnU-Net to analyze liver sinusoid fenestration in mice, confirming BMP9's role in LSEC differentiation.

This paper introduces MorphoLearn, an AI framework for 3D FIB-SEM segmentation of diatoms, showing that whole-cell segmentation reveals architectural differences and that transfer learning and contrast-aware strategies improve performance.

This study compares how two Thalassiosira diatom species respond to iron limitation by examining chloroplast-mitochondrial coupling through proteomics and imaging.

This paper investigates the role of teichoic acids in maintaining the periplasmic space in Streptococcus pneumoniae using cryo-electron microscopy and metabolic labeling, revealing new insights into TA composition and function.

The paper tracks plastid and mitochondrial integration in a polar planktonic host over months, showing sustained benefits and highlighting a new strategy in plastid symbiosis.

This study identifies two spore types in the marine parasite Amoebophrya, revealing sexual and infectious functions, with smaller spores infecting hosts and larger spores undergoing meiosis.

The paper investigates the life cycle and morphogenetic differentiation of decoupled cells in O. huxleyi, showing they can revert to calcified form without viral pressure and exhibit distinct transcriptomic and ultrastructural features.

This study shows that dinoflagellates can acquire and utilize haptophyte-derived plastids, demonstrating that complex plastids can be transferred between hosts.

This study identifies a protein shell surrounding diatom pyrenoids that enhances CO2 fixation efficiency and reveals its structural and functional role through in vivo and in vitro analyses.

This paper develops a drug-inducible tool to inhibit HIV-1 budding by transiently stabilizing ESCRT-III components, showing varying effects on VLP release.
