The paper identifies the complete sequence and promoters of the cis-antisense RNA StfZ in E. coli and shows it regulates FtsZ protein levels and cell division.

This study shows that Keratin 17 regulates nuclear morphology, chromatin organization, and cell proliferation in epithelial cells.

The paper identifies transperons in yeast, multiplexed mRNP particles formed by mRNAs from different chromosomes, and shows their dependence on H4 histones for function.

The paper analyzes mutations in SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD across 31,403 genomes, identifies key molecular determinants for RBD-ACE2 binding, and proposes implications for vaccine and therapeutic design.

This study shows that the M. smegmatis Arr enzyme reduces reactive oxygen species levels in actively growing cells, and its absence increases ROS, leading to higher rifampicin resistance.

The paper identifies sequential physiological events in mycobacteria that lead to antibiotic resistance emergence from persister populations, showing similar responses in other bacterial genera.

This paper studies how bacterial predator-prey interactions drive genome evolution and select for virulence-associated prey defenses.

This study identifies mitochondrial respiration dysfunction in drug-resistant ALL cells and shows that pyrvinium pamoate (PP) effectively targets this pathway, with enhanced bioavailability and specificity for leukemic cells.
