Functional exploration of in vivo and in vitro lignocellulose-fed rumen bacterial microbiomes reveals novel enzymes involved in polysaccharide breakdown

The paper identifies novel enzymes from rumen microbiomes that break down plant cell walls using a high-throughput metagenomic approach.

The Marchantia pangenome reveals ancient mechanisms of plant adaptation to the environment

This study analyzes the pangenome of Marchantia polymorpha to identify genetic features involved in plant adaptation to terrestrial environments, finding shared and lineage-specific genes with flowering plants.

Medicago truncatula SOBIR1 controls specificity in the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis

This study identifies MtSOBIR1 as an interactor of MtNFP in Medicago truncatula, showing it has dual roles in immunity and symbiosis with Rhizobium.

Context-dependent effects explain divergent prognostic roles of Tregs in cancer

This study clarifies the prognostic role of Tregs in cancer by analyzing context-dependent factors across five cancer types.

GM-CSF-activated human dendritic cells promote type1 T follicular helper cells (Tfh1) polarization in a CD40-dependent manner

This study shows GM-CSF-activated human dendritic cells drive Tfh1 differentiation via CD40-dependent mechanisms, with implications for infections like tuberculosis and COVID-19.

Distinct genetic bases for plant root responses to lipo-chitooligosaccharide signal molecules from distinct microbial origins

This study identifies distinct genetic loci for plant root responses to Nod-LCOs and Fung-LCOs, showing they use different molecular mechanisms.

Single cell RNA sequencing of blood antigen-presenting cells in severe Covid-19 reveals multi-process defects in antiviral immunity

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze blood antigen-presenting cells in severe COVID-19 patients, identifying defects in antiviral immunity.
