Manipulation of the nucleoscaffold potentiates cellular reprogramming kinetics

This study shows that manipulating Lamin A/C affects nuclear structure and reprogramming efficiency in human fibroblasts.

Heightened virulence of Yersinia is associated with decreased function of the YopJ protein

The study shows that reduced YopJ function in Yersinia species correlates with increased virulence in mice, suggesting that decreased cytotoxicity enhances pathogenesis.

Adaptive evolution in DNMT2 supports its role in the dipteran immune response

This study identifies positive selection in DNMT2 across dipteran insects, showing its adaptive evolution and role in antiviral immune responses.

Wolbachia and virus alter the host transcriptome at the interface of nucleotide metabolism pathways

The paper investigates how Wolbachia and viruses jointly affect the transcriptome of Drosophila, revealing altered metabolic pathways and dampened transcriptomic responses to virus infection.

A bacterial symbiont protects honey bees from fungal disease

This study shows that the bacterial symbiont Bombella apis suppresses fungal pathogens in honey bees, protecting brood from infection through antifungal metabolites.

Normal human lymph node T follicular helper cells and germinal center B cells accessed via fine needle aspirations

This study uses lymph node fine needle aspirations to analyze GC B cells and TFH cells in healthy humans, establishing benchmarks for GC biology under noninflammatory conditions.
