Machine-learning-based motion tracking revealed the inverse correlation between adhesivity and surface motility of the leptospirosis spirochete

The paper uses machine learning to track motion of Leptospira interrogans without fluorescent labels, finding an inverse correlation between adhesion and motility.

Light-dependent synthesis of a nucleotide second messenger controls bacterial motility

The paper shows light-dependent cAMP synthesis controls bacterial motility via a novel photoresponsive enzyme in a soil bacterium.

Insight into motility-dependent pathogenicity of the zoonotic spirochete Leptospira

The paper investigates how motility and adhesivity of Leptospira spp. relate to their pathogenicity by analyzing their movement on host tissues.

Establishing BARA: Biological Nitrogen Fixation for Future Agriculture

This paper advocates for biological nitrogen fixation as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers, proposing a framework for research and policy to support its implementation.

Unfolded protein-independent IRE1 activation contributes to multifaceted developmental processes in Arabidopsis

This study shows that IRE1 activation in Arabidopsis can occur without the unfolded protein-sensing domain, contributing to male gametophyte development and other developmental processes.
