RNase L-induced bodies sequester subgenomic flavivirus RNAs and re-establish host RNA decay

The paper shows that RNase L-induced bodies sequester subgenomic flavivirus RNAs, reducing their interaction with P-bodies and enhancing viral RNA decay.

Diverse RNA viruses associated with diatom, eustigmatophyte, dinoflagellate and rhodophyte microalgae cultures

This study identifies ten new RNA virus species in microalgal cultures, expanding the known diversity of viruses infecting unicellular eukaryotes.

Phylogeny of docks and sorrels (Rumex, Polygonaceae) reveals plasticity of reproductive systems

This study reconstructs the phylogeny of Rumex species to investigate the evolutionary plasticity of reproductive systems across subgenera and species.

Subcutaneous nanotherapy repurposes the immunosuppressive mechanism of rapamycin to enhance allogeneic islet graft viability

This paper shows subcutaneous rapamycin delivery via nanocarriers changes its immunosuppressive mechanism, improving islet graft survival in a transplant model.

Fertility of Pedicellate Spikelets in Sorghum is Controlled by a Jasmonic Acid Regulatory Module

This paper identifies a jasmonic acid regulatory module controlling spikelet fertility in sorghum, showing that mutations in MSD1 and MSD2 increase grain number per panicle.

Norovirus infection results in assembly of virus-specific G3BP1 granules and evasion of eIF2α signaling.

This study shows that norovirus infection leads to the formation of virus-specific granules and disrupts eIF2α signaling to evade host stress responses.

Genomics-enabled analysis of the emergent disease cotton bacterial blight

The paper analyzes the re-emergence of cotton bacterial blight by comparing pathogen genomes and host gene expression to identify virulence mechanisms and resistance strategies.
