The minimal SUF system can substitute for the canonical iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis systems by using inorganic sulfide as the sulfur source.

Age-associated reduction of nuclear shape dynamics in excitatory neurons of the visual cortex

The paper examines age-related changes in nuclear shape dynamics in excitatory neurons of the visual cortex using time-lapse imaging and finds reduced morphological dynamics in aged nuclei.

Recognition of commensal bacterial peptidoglycans defines Drosophila gut homeostasis and lifespan

This study shows that specific bacterial peptidoglycans from Acetobacter persici shorten Drosophila lifespan and increase intestinal stem cell proliferation via gut receptors, while also enhancing stress resistance.

The conserved upstream ORF of the Arabidopsis ANAC082 gene mediates translational upregulation in response to nucleolar stress

This study shows that the upstream ORF of the Arabidopsis ANAC082 gene enhances translation under nucleolar stress but not ER stress, indicating evolutionary loss of this regulatory mechanism in ANAC103.

The replication of the human respiratory syncytial virus in a T cell line has multiple ineffective steps

This study shows that HRSV infection of CD4+ T cells is inefficient compared to epithelial cells, with reduced fusion, lower protein production, and altered viral trafficking.
