Cytoadhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells changes the expression of cytokine-, histone- and antiviral protein-encoding genes in brain endothelial cells

The paper shows that Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells alter gene expression in brain endothelial cells, activating immune and antiviral pathways, and increasing cytokine and angiogenesis-related genes.

FoxO factors preserve airway epithelial homeostasis by coordinating adaptive stress responses

The paper shows FoxO factors in Drosophila, mouse, and human airway epithelial cells respond to stressors by nuclear translocation, with FoxO-dependent stress pathways altered in asthma across species.

Proteins differentially expressed between pathogenic and non-pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica clones influence pathogenicity by different mechanisms

This study identifies two genes, ehhp127 and ehmp8-2, differentially expressed between pathogenic and non-pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica clones, showing they influence pathogenicity through distinct mechanisms.

A mitochondrial sirtuin shapes the intestinal microbiota by controlling lysozyme expression

This study shows that dSirt4 in Drosophila controls lysozyme expression in the intestine, altering microbiota composition and reducing lifespan.

Recurrent phases of strict protein limitation inhibit tumor growth and restore lifespan in a Drosophila intestinal cancer model

The paper shows that cyclic severe protein restriction in Drosophila reduces tumor growth, restores gut function, and extends lifespan without the harmful effects of continuous restriction.

Monoterpenes alter TAR1-driven physiology in Drosophila species

This study shows that monoterpenes affect TAR1-driven physiology and behavior in Drosophila species, with effects dependent on functional TAR1 receptors.

Maintaining structural and functional homeostasis of the Drosophila respiratory epithelia requires stress-modulated JAK/STAT activity

This study shows that balanced JAK/STAT signaling is essential for maintaining structural and functional homeostasis in Drosophila respiratory epithelia, while chronic overactivation leads to pathological changes resembling human lung diseases.

Phytochrome mediated responses in Agrobacterium fabrum: growth, swimming, plant infection and interbacterial competition

This study investigates how phytochromes in Agrobacterium fabrum affect DNA transfer, growth, swimming, and interbacterial competition, distinguishing light-regulated and light-independent responses.

A high-fat diet induces a microbiota-dependent increase in stem cell activity in the Drosophila intestine

This paper shows that a high-fat diet increases intestinal stem cell activity in Drosophila, dependent on microbiota and JNK signaling in enterocytes.
