The paper identifies immunomodulatory bacterial microproteins from Leptotrichia using a microproteome screen and shows they influence macrophage polarization.

A stem cell-derived human vein-to-artery endothelial conversion model mirrors angiogenesis-derived embryonic arteries; VEGF plus PI3K inhibition alone yields 92% DLL4+CXCR4+ endothelium by 48 hours.

The paper presents a global virome atlas, UHGV, and identifies genomic factors influencing phage-host interactions.

The paper identifies age-related microbiome metabolites that alter RNA splicing and chromatin accessibility in the mouse brain using metabolomics, transcriptomic, and multi-omic approaches.

This study investigates how the gut microbiome interacts with aging and dietary restriction in mice, finding that host genetics significantly influence microbiome features and that dietary restriction does not rejuvenate the microbiome.

The paper describes the development of a course on genetics, ethics, and society designed by trainees to address the lack of ethics training in scientific education.

Phanta profiles human gut metagenomes to include viruses directly from short reads, identifying more viral species than assembly-based methods and revealing higher interindividual variability in the virome.
