Small RNA Analysis of Virus-virus Interaction between Two Orthotospoviruses

This study uses small RNA sequencing to investigate how INSV affects TSWV processing and plant responses during their antagonistic interaction.

Endothelial-specific reduction in Arf6 impairs insulin-stimulated vasodilation and skeletal muscle blood flow resulting in systemic insulin resistance

This study shows that reducing Arf6 in endothelial cells impairs insulin-stimulated vasodilation and causes systemic insulin resistance.

Structural insights into γH2Ax containing nucleosomes

The paper characterizes the interaction between MDC1 BRCT domains and γH2AX nucleosomes using cryo-EM, revealing structural insights into nucleosome stacking and its disruption by BRCT binding.

Vibrio tarriae sp. nov., a novel member of the Cholerae clade isolated from across the United States

The paper describes the discovery and characterization of a novel Vibrio species, Vibrio tarriae, based on genetic, phylogenetic, and phenotypic analyses of isolates from the United States.

Population analysis of Vibrio cholerae in aquatic reservoirs reveals a novel sister species (Vibrio paracholerae sp. nov.) with a history of association with human infections

The paper identifies a novel Vibrio cholerae species, Vibrio paracholerae, in aquatic environments with potential human pathogenicity and links it to cholera outbreaks.

A Vibrio cholerae Core Genome Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme to Facilitate the Epidemiological Study of Cholera

This paper introduces a cgMLST scheme for Vibrio cholerae, demonstrating its ability to identify outbreak-related strains and sublineages with higher resolution than existing methods.

Association of poor virus specific immunoglobulin G antibodyresponses with higher viral load is seen in Bangladeshi pregnantwomen having acute Hepatitis E Genotype 1 infection

This study finds that Bangladeshi pregnant women with acute Hepatitis E Genotype 1 infection have lower IgG antibody responses and higher viral loads compared to non-pregnant women with the same infection.

Situation of antibiotic resistance in Bangladesh and its association with resistance genes for horizontal transfer

The study examines antibiotic resistance patterns and associated genes in clinical isolates from Bangladesh, finding high prevalence of MDR strains and specific resistance genes like CTXM-1 and ErmB.

Simultaneous quantification of Vibrio metoecus and Vibrio cholerae with its O1 serogroup and toxigenic subpopulations in environmental reservoirs

This paper develops a multiplex qPCR assay to quantify Vibrio metoecus and V. cholerae subpopulations in environmental samples, revealing seasonal and geographic differences in their abundance.

PHYSIOLOGICAL GROWTH INDICES OF MAIZE (Zea mays L.) GENOTYPES IN SYLHET

The paper evaluates physiological growth indices of maize genotypes in Sylhet, Bangladesh, finding significant variation in growth parameters and identifying BARI Maize 6 as the highest performer in total dry matter and growth rates.

The MoT3 assay does not distinguish between Magnaporthe oryzae wheat and rice blast isolates from Bangladesh

The paper evaluates the MoT3 assay's ability to distinguish wheat and rice blast isolates of Magnaporthe oryzae from Bangladesh and finds it fails to do so.
