Mutualism reduces the severity of gene disruptions in predictable ways across microbial communities.

J. N. V. Martinson, J. M. Chacon, B. A. Smith, A. R. Villarreal, R. C. Hunter, W. R. Harcombe

The paper shows mutualism reduces mutation severity in microbial communities, while competition does not, and predicts mutant fitness in complex communities by averaging simpler ones.

Anti-GD2 antibody disrupts GD2:Siglec-7 interactions and synergizes with CD47 blockade to mediate tumor eradication

J. Theruvath, M. Menard, B. A. Smith, M. H. Linde, G. Coles, W. Wu, L. Kiru, A. Delaidelli, J. L. Silberstein, A. Banuelos, S. Dhingra, E. Sotillo, S. Heitzeneder, A. Tousley, J. Lattin, , R. G. Majzner

This study shows that combining anti-GD2 and anti-CD47 antibodies enhances anti-tumor responses by recruiting macrophages and disrupting the GD2:Siglec-7 interaction in GD2+ cancers.

Experimental Evolution of the Megaplasmid pMPPla107 in Pseudomonas stutzeri Enables Identification of Genes Contributing to Sensitivity to an Inhibitory Agent

B. A. Smith, K. Dougherty, M. Clark, D. Baltrus

The paper uses experimental evolution to identify compensatory mutations in a plasmid that reduce sensitivity to an inhibitory agent in Pseudomonas stutzeri.

Just the Two of Us? A Family of Pseudomonas Megaplasmids Offers a Rare Glimpse Into the Evolution of Large Mobile Elements

B. A. Smith, C. Leligdon, D. Baltrus

The paper identifies a second megaplasmid in an environmental Pseudomonas isolate, showing shared genes and sequence divergence, suggesting an ancient family with strong gene order selection.
