This study identifies Mln1 as a regulator of metabolic flexibility and thermotolerance in Cryptococcus neoformans, revealing a trade-off between nutrient utilization and stress resistance.

This study shows sustained fluid shear stress drives a profibrotic phenotypic switch in fibroblasts across different mechanical platforms.

This paper develops a method to make thermophilic bacteria genetically tractable by removing non-canonical defense systems, enabling stable genetic modification at high temperatures.

The paper analyzes the gut virome across cohorts to identify conserved signatures and functional roles of phages in ulcerative colitis.

This study uses a dual oxygen-partitioned co-culture system to analyze how different gut microbes affect intestinal epithelial cells, revealing distinct stress and homeostatic responses.

This study shows Fervidobacterium islandicum uses keratin degradation as a starvation survival strategy through proteases, redox reactions, and metabolic reprogramming.

This study isolates and characterizes live Malassezia globosa strains from ulcerative colitis patients' intestinal mucosa, showing they exacerbate colitis in mice and exhibit hypoxia adaptation.
