The paper identifies mutanofactin-697, a secondary metabolite from S. mutans, which promotes biofilm formation by increasing bacterial hydrophobicity and adhesion.

This study classifies bladder cancer patients into immune and non-immune groups using NMF and NTP algorithms, finding immune-activated patients respond better to anti-PD-1 therapy.

The paper discovers a new family of natural products, clostyrylpyrones, from Clostridium roseum and proposes their polyketide synthase-based biosynthesis mechanism.

The paper shows that the mitotic kinase Polo also directs cellular morphogenesis after cell cycle exit, with its activity regulated by different upstream kinases during mitosis and post-mitosis.

This paper uses native mass spectrometry to study how heparin disrupts the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein's interaction with ACE2, providing insights into its potential as a repurposed therapeutic for COVID-19.

This study investigates the cardiac electrophysiological effects of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, showing they prolong QT intervals and increase arrhythmia risk when combined.

The paper investigates how HetR controls gene expression from DIF1 motif promoters during heterocyst differentiation, showing dependence on HetZ and modulation by PatU3.

This paper identifies two ER proteins, LRMP and IRAG, that modulate HCN4 channel function differently, with LRMP inhibiting and IRAG enhancing HCN4 activity in a cAMP-independent manner.

This paper presents full-length transcriptome data of Ascosphaera apis mycelium and spore using PacBio SMRT sequencing, providing high-quality transcripts for genome and transcriptome annotation improvements.
