A conserved protein inhibitor brings under check the activity of RNase E in cyanobacteria

The paper identifies RebA as a conserved inhibitor of RNase E in cyanobacteria, showing it suppresses RNase E activity and affects cell morphology.

Chronic Intermittent Hypobaric Hypoxia Prevents Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury By Modulating The HIF-1α Signaling Pathway

This study shows that chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia prevents contrast-induced acute kidney injury in rats by activating the HIF-1/BNIP3 pathway to enhance antioxidant capacity and mitochondrial autophagy.

HetF protein is a new divisome component in a filamentous and developmental cyanobacterium

This study identifies HetF as a new divisome component in Anabaena PCC 7120, showing its role in cell division and its interaction with FtsI.

Single-cell landscape of immunological responses in COVID-19 patients

This study analyzes immune responses in COVID-19 patients using single-cell RNA sequencing to identify differences in immune cell behavior across disease severity stages.

Detect Genomic G-Quadruplexes in Living Animal Cells with a Tiny Artificial Protein Probe

The paper develops a small artificial protein probe to detect G-quadruplexes in living cells and identifies widespread G4 formation during transcription.

Helicobacter pylori-induced adrenomedullin modulates IFN-γ-producing T-cell responses and contribute to gastritis

This study shows that H. pylori-induced adrenomedullin promotes inflammation in gastritis by enhancing IFN-γ-producing T-cell responses through AKT and STAT3 phosphorylation and IL-12 production.

On the regulatory evolution of new genes throughout their life history

The paper investigates how new genes evolve regulatory mechanisms over time by comparing gene expression and histone modifications across species and tissues.
