Proton-pump inhibitors increase C. difficile infection risk by altering pH rather than by affecting the gut microbiome based on a bioreactor model

Optical characterization of molecular interaction strength in protein condensates

The paper introduces optical techniques to measure molecular interaction strength and physical properties of protein condensates, showing how sequence variations and environmental factors affect these properties.

Environmental controls of dark CO2 fixation in wetland microbiomes

The paper examines environmental controls on dark CO2 fixation pathways in estuarine wetlands using multi-omics approaches, finding that different pathways are favored under varying environmental conditions.

Non-antibiotic drugs break colonization resistance against pathogenic Gammaproteobacteria

The paper tests non-antibiotic drugs' effects on gut microbiome composition and finds some increase Salmonella abundance, potentially increasing infection risk.

Single-molecule tracking of Nodal and Lefty in live zebrafish embryos supports hindered diffusion model

The paper uses single-molecule tracking to support the hindered diffusion model in zebrafish embryos by analyzing Nodal and Lefty diffusion dynamics.

Standardized microgel beads as elastic cell mechanical probes

This paper presents standardized poly-acylamide microgel beads as mechanical probes for cell mechanics, showing they can be calibrated to mimic cell elasticity and used for cross-comparison of measurement techniques.

Paracrine Activin-A Signaling Promotes Melanoma Growth And Metastasis Through Immune Evasion

This study shows that paracrine Activin-A signaling in melanoma promotes tumor growth and metastasis by inhibiting anti-tumor immunity and causing muscle wasting.
