TurboID mapping reveals exportome of secreted intrinsically disordered proteins in the transforming parasite Theileria annulata

This study uses TurboID proximity labeling to identify secreted effector proteins from Theileria annulata, revealing nine nuclear and four cytosolic candidates, eight of which are intrinsically disordered proteins absent in non-transforming species.

Host metabolic pathways essential for malaria and related hemoparasites in the infection of nucleated cells

The paper identifies host metabolic pathways essential for malaria and related hemoparasites by combining a metabolic model and CRISPR screen.

The pentameric complex is not required for vertical transmission of cytomegalovirus in seronegative pregnant rhesus macaques

The study shows that deleting the pentameric complex in rhesus CMV does not affect congenital transmission in seronegative pregnant rhesus macaques.

Tobramycin adaptation alters the antibiotic susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing-null mutants

This study shows that a mutation in fusA1 enhances tobramycin resistance in lasR-null Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants through interactions with the MexXY efflux pump and ArmZ regulator.

Spliced peptides and cytokine driven changes in the immunopeptidome of melanoma

This study identifies spliced peptides and cytokine-driven changes in the immunopeptidome of melanoma, showing conserved immunogenic peptides across patients.

Low Intensity Vibration Restores Nuclear YAP Levels and Acute YAP Nuclear Shuttling in Mesenchymal Stem Cells Subjected to Simulated Microgravity

This study shows that low intensity vibration (LIV) restores YAP nuclear levels and enhances YAP nuclear entry in mesenchymal stem cells under simulated microgravity.

Isolated Nuclei Stiffen in Response to Low Intensity Vibration

This study shows that isolated nuclei from mesenchymal stem cells become stiffer after low intensity vibration, involving the LINC complex but not LaminA/C or Sun-2.

Data from an electronic health informatics pipeline to describe clearance dynamics of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and e-Antigen (HBeAg) in chronic HBV infection

The paper describes an electronic health informatics pipeline that collects longitudinal clinical data on HBsAg and HBeAg clearance in chronic HBV infection, revealing demographic and treatment-related factors associated with clearance.

Theileria highjacks JNK2 into a complex with the macroschizont GPI-anchored surface protein p104

This paper shows Theileria annulata hijacks JNK2 by binding it to the surface protein p104, leading to its degradation and affecting macrophage survival and dissemination.
