A regulatory protein that represses sporulation in Clostridioides difficile

D. Martins, A. L. Mendes, J. Antunes, A. O. Henriques, M. Serrano

This study identifies csiA as a regulator that suppresses sporulation in C. difficile by reducing spo0A expression, affecting sporulation initiation without altering toxin or motility gene expression.

Urbanization and market-integration have strong, non-linear effects on metabolic health in the Turkana

A. J. Lea, D. Martins, J. Kamau, M. Gurven, J. Ayroles

The paper examines how urbanization and market integration affect metabolic health in the Turkana, finding non-linear health declines with increasing urbanicity and early life exposure to urban environments.

CD44v6 expression is a novel predictive marker of therapy response and poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients

C. Pereira, D. Ferreira, C. Lemos, D. Martins, N. Mendes, D. Almeida, P. Granja, F. Carneiro, R. Almeida, G. M. Almeida, C. Oliveira

This study identifies CD44v6 expression as a predictor of therapy response and poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients, showing higher expression correlates with worse outcomes and benefit from chemotherapy.

Population genomics and demographic sampling of the ant-plant Vachellia drepanolobium and its symbiotic ants from sites across its range in East Africa.

J. Boyle, D. Martins, P. Musili, N. Pierce

The paper examines the population genetics and demographic patterns of Vachellia drepanolobium and its ant symbionts across Kenya, finding spatial distribution differences among ants that are not strongly linked to host genetics or environmental factors.
