This study shows that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum VB165 reduces metabolic disorders in insulin-resistant mice by improving glucose tolerance, reducing inflammation, and modulating gut microbiota.

The paper identifies a new subnuclear organelle called the nucleolar stress body (NoSB) in C. elegans, formed through the NOSR-1/NUMR-1 axis in response to nucleolar stress.

The paper identifies a nematode gene acquired via horizontal gene transfer from bacteria that enhances stress resilience by enabling L-rhamnose biosynthesis for cuticle integrity.

The paper identifies a ZTF-7/RPS-2 complex involved in C. elegans' response to cold-warm temperature changes by regulating RNA exosome localization.

The paper identifies factors involved in risiRNA generation in C. elegans and shows their role in rRNA surveillance through exosome and nucleolar RNAi mechanisms.

The paper identifies WAGO-4, a cytoplasmic Argonaute protein, as essential for the inheritance of RNAi in C. elegans, showing its role in translocating to the germline and binding 22G-RNAs.
