This study uses next-generation sequencing to analyze tprK gene diversity in primary syphilis patients, revealing high sequence variation with predominant and minor variants, and identifying stable sequences that may be vaccine targets.

This study generates transgenic pigs expressing microbial enzymes to enhance feed digestion and reduce nutrient emissions, showing improved growth and lower environmental impact.

This study shows that epidermal HYD1 expression rescues root growth and patterning in Arabidopsis hyd1 mutants through a non-cell autonomous mechanism involving auxin signaling.

This study compares glucose administration methods in Japanese flounder, showing different insulin and brain-gut peptide responses, and suggests a negative feedback mechanism in glucose homeostasis.

The paper identifies a pathway where FIP200 and CTAGE5 remodel ER-exit sites to generate COPII vesicles that contribute to autophagosome biogenesis during starvation.

The paper develops metaproteomics methods to assess microbial community composition by measuring biomass contributions through protein abundance, validated using artificial communities and applied to environmental and saliva samples.
