Protein aggregation is a consequence of the dormancy-inducing membrane toxin TisB in Escherichia coli

This study shows that the membrane toxin TisB in E. coli causes protein aggregation, which enhances cellular dormancy and antibiotic tolerance.

The apoplastic space of two wheat genotypes provide highly different environment for pathogen colonization: Insights from proteome and microbiome profiling

This study compares the apoplastic environment of two wheat genotypes during pathogen infection, revealing differences in microbial composition and defense mechanisms.

Closely related Bacteroides of the murine intestinal microbiota affect each other's growth positively or negatively

The paper tests growth interactions between closely related Bacteroides strains from mice and finds both positive and negative effects, with growth promotion more common than inhibition.

Small protein 26 interacts and enhances glutamine synthetase activity in Methanosarcina mazei

This study identifies and characterizes sP26, a small protein in Methanosarcina mazei that interacts with and enhances glutamine synthetase activity under nitrogen limitation.

Temporal inhibition of autophagy reveals segmental reversal of aging with increased cancer risk

This study shows that inhibiting autophagy in mammals accelerates aging and increases cancer risk, while restoring autophagy extends lifespan but does not fully prevent cancer.
