The microtubule regulator EFA-6 forms spatially restricted cortical foci dependent on its intrinsically disordered region and interactions with tubulins

pH selects for distinct N2O-reducing microbiomes in tropical soil microcosms

This study investigates N2O reduction in acidic tropical soils, finding distinct microbial communities and novel taxa associated with N2O reduction at low pH.

The effect of clinically relevant beta-lactam, aminoglycoside, and quinolone antibiotics on bacterial extracellular vesicle release from E. coli

This study examines how clinically relevant antibiotics affect extracellular vesicle release from E. coli, finding that beta-lactams increase release while quinolones and aminoglycosides decrease it.

Tick-borne zoonotic flaviviruses and Borrelia infections in wildlife hosts: what have field studies contributed?

This paper reviews field studies on tick-borne flaviviruses and Borrelia infections in wildlife, highlighting gaps in understanding host dynamics and zoonotic risk.

Temperature sensitivity of bat antibodies links metabolic state with antigen-recognition diversity

This study shows that bat antibodies change their antigen-binding properties with temperature, linking metabolic state to immune diversity and anti-inflammatory function.

First Eurasian cases of SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity in a free-ranging urban population of wild fallow deer

The paper reports the first cases of SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity in Eurasian fallow deer, showing increased seroprevalence with emerging variants.

Real-time precision opto-control of chemical processes in live cells

This paper introduces RPOC, a technology that enables real-time, precise opto-control of chemical processes in live cells with submicron accuracy and nanosecond response time.

Computational study of the furin cleavage domain of SARS-CoV-2: delta binds strongest of extant variants

The paper uses AlphaFold to predict furin cleavage domain structures and finds delta variant has strong binding, with some rare sequences matching it statistically.

Epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity through loss of CTCF motif accessibility and protein expression

The paper investigates chromatin accessibility and CTCF dynamics during reversible EMT/MET, showing CTCF suppression correlates with EMT features and plasticity.

Metagenomic characterization of soil microbial communities in the Luquillo experimental forest (Puerto Rico) and implications for nitrogen cycling

This study characterizes soil microbial communities in the Luquillo Experimental Forest using metagenomics, revealing differences in nitrogen cycling genes compared to temperate soils.

CD150-dependent hematopoietic stem cells sensing of Brucella instructs myeloid commitment

The paper shows HSC directly sense Brucella abortus via CD150 and Omp25, leading to myeloid commitment and early immune response.

Tracking the rates and mechanisms of canopy damage and recovery following Hurricane Maria using multitemporal lidar data

This study quantifies forest damage and recovery after Hurricane Maria using lidar data, finding widespread canopy loss and heterogeneous regrowth patterns.

Surveillance of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli associated bloody diarrhea in Argentina

The paper investigates STEC-associated bloody diarrhea and progression to HUS in children in Argentina, finding 4.1% STEC-positive cases and 13.8% progressing to HUS.

HUMAN ADENOVIRUS TYPE 4 COMPRISES TWO MAJOR PHYLOGROUPS WITH DISTINCT REPLICATIVE FITNESS AND VIRULENCE PHENOTYPES

This study identifies two major phylogroups of HAdV-E4 with distinct replicative fitness and virulence phenotypes, showing no correlation between in vitro fitness and in vivo virulence.

Pathological modeling of TBEV infection reveals differential innate immune responses in human neurons and astrocytes that correlate with their susceptibility to infection.

This study establishes an in vitro model of TBEV infection in human brain cells, revealing differential innate immune responses in neurons and astrocytes that correlate with their susceptibility to the virus.

Extensive genetic diversity of bat-borne polyomaviruses reveals inter-family host-switching events

This study identifies extensive genetic diversity of bat-borne polyomaviruses and reports three inter-family host-switching events, challenging the notion of strict host restriction in mammalian PyVs.
