Cathepsin X is a conserved cell death protein involved in algal response to environmental stress

The paper identifies cathepsin X as a conserved cell death protein in algae involved in responses to environmental stress through transcriptome analysis and mutant studies.

The Role of Vitamin D in Emiliania huxleyi: A Microalgal Perspective on UV Exposure

This study shows Emiliania huxleyi produces vitamin D2 and D3 in response to UV radiation and regulates protective mechanisms transcriptionally when exposed to vitamin D, enhancing photosynthesis and reducing oxidative stress.

Acanthamoeba polyphaga de novo transcriptome and its dynamics during Mimivirus infection

This study generates a de novo transcriptome of Acanthamoeba polyphaga and analyzes host and virus transcriptome dynamics during Mimivirus infection, revealing cell cycle arrest and host gene modulation.

Dendritic cell ICAM-1 strengthens immune synapses but is dispensable for effector and memory responses

This study shows that dendritic cell ICAM-1 is not required for CD8 T cell effector and memory responses despite its role in forming stable immune synapses.

Nuclear lamin A/C promotes cancer cell survival and lung metastasis without restricting transendothelial migration

The ecological significance of extracellular vesicles in modulating host-virus interactions during algal blooms

The paper shows that extracellular vesicles from E. huxleyi enhance viral infection and prolong virus half-life in natural populations, affecting host-virus dynamics and microbial food webs.
