Hexokinase 2 expression in apical enterocytes correlates with inflammation severity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease

The paper examines the relationship between HK2 expression and inflammation severity in IBD patients using bulk transcriptome data and confirms findings at the cellular and protein levels.

Intestinal epithelial Atg16l1 influences pregnancy-induced fecal microbiota shifts in mice

This study examines how Atg16l1 deletion in intestinal epithelial cells affects fecal microbiota shifts during pregnancy in mice, identifying altered microbial composition and functional potential.

Degradation of Fatty Acid Export Protein1 by Rhomboid-Like Protease11 Contributes to Cold Tolerance in Arabidopsis

The paper shows that RBL11-mediated degradation of FAX1 is critical for cold tolerance in Arabidopsis.

Networked proteins redundantly interact with VAP27 and RABG3 to regulate membrane tethering at the vacuole and beyond

The paper shows NET4 and NET3 redundantly interact with RABG3 and VAP27 to regulate vacuole membrane tethering and growth in plants.

OHP2 is not required for psbA translation in Chlamydomonas

This study shows that OHP2 is not required for psbA translation in Chlamydomonas but is necessary for D1 stabilization.

Microbial regulation of hexokinase 2 links mitochondrial metabolism and cell death in colitis

This study shows that microbial regulation of HK2 links mitochondrial metabolism and cell death in colitis, with butyrate protecting against inflammation by repressing HK2.

The secreted hypersensitive response inducing protein 1 from Botrytis cinerea displays non-canonical PAMP-activity

The paper identifies and characterizes Hip1, a protein from Botrytis cinerea that induces plant cell death through non-canonical PAMP activity.

Overexpression of sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase enhances photosynthesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and has no effect on the abundance of other Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes

This study overexpresses sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, increasing photosynthesis and growth without affecting other Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes.

Vernalization alters sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) sink and source identities and reverses phloem translocation from taproots to shoots

This study shows vernalization in sugar beets reverses sink-source dynamics by altering phloem translocation and gene expression, leading to sugar remobilization from taproots to shoots.

Antagonism between regular and atypical Cxcr3 receptors regulates macrophage migration during infection and injury in zebrafish

The study shows that Cxcr3.3, an atypical chemokine receptor in zebrafish, regulates macrophage migration by scavenging ligands that would otherwise activate Cxcr3.2, a conventional receptor involved in immune response.

A high-fat diet induces a microbiota-dependent increase in stem cell activity in the Drosophila intestine

This paper shows that a high-fat diet increases intestinal stem cell activity in Drosophila, dependent on microbiota and JNK signaling in enterocytes.

Comparative analysis of amplicon and metagenomic sequencing methods reveals key features in the evolution of animal metaorganisms

Hetero-oligomeric CPN60 resembles highly symmetric group I chaperonin structure revealed by Cryo-EM

The paper reveals the structure of the chloroplast chaperonin system using Cryo-EM, showing its hetero-oligomeric composition and functional properties.
