The paper shows that island isolation and genetic drift rapidly drive speciation in macaques, leading to genomic divergence, loss of diversity, and adaptive mutations.

This study identifies WTA-specific IgM as a critical immune factor for human protection against S. aureus, outperforming IgG in opsonophagocytic activity and correlating with clinical outcomes.

The paper identifies a nutrient sensor in Drosophila that integrates into the mTORC1 pathway to respond to methionine availability, revealing an evolutionary mechanism for expanding nutrient sensing capabilities.

This study uses chemogenetics and optogenetics to precisely disassemble specific microtubule subtypes in living cells, revealing their roles in cellular processes.

This study shows that blue light inactivates catalase in bacteria, making them vulnerable to ROS and immune cells, and validates this in a mouse model.

This study shows that photobleaching granadaene in Streptococcus agalactiae reduces its virulence and increases antimicrobial susceptibility to antibiotics and macrophage killing.

This study uses photo-disassembly of membrane microdomains to restore antibiotic susceptibility in MRSA, enabling conventional antibiotics to inhibit resistance development.
