This study investigates the trade-off between plasticity and velocity in mycelial growth by analyzing hyphal tip growth in fungal species under spatial confinement.

The paper examines symbiont communities in deep-sea mussels along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, finding that hybrid mussels host genetically similar symbionts to their parental species.

This study identifies BGLF2, an EBV tegument protein, as being encapsulated in exosomes that enhance viral infection by boosting gene expression and suppressing innate immunity.

Three-dimensional image reconstruction was used to visualize the spatial organization of cell types in the haustoria of parasitic plants with special reference to their interaction with host roots.

This paper reports the biochemical and structural characterization of SOR from Sulfurisphaera tokodaii, presenting high-resolution crystal and cryo-EM structures and analyzing the role of iron and cysteines in catalysis.

This study shows that Ran-GTP is not essential for NuMA activation in spindle pole focusing but is required for HURP polarization and spindle length regulation during prometaphase.

This study identifies β-1,4-glucanases as facilitators of cell-cell adhesion in plant grafting, showing their role in promoting compatibility across species.

The paper tracks EBV infection in B-cells using fate mapping and RNA-seq, showing abortive lytic infection precedes latency.

This study develops a Western blot method with deglycosylation to detect Epo and ESAs in urine and plasma, showing the kidney as the main site of Epo production under hypoxia.

This study develops CRISPR-Cas13a-based antimicrobials that kill target bacteria by cleaving RNA, showing effectiveness against carbapenem-resistant E. coli and methicillin-resistant S. aureus.

Attenuated Salmonella typhimurium reduces tumor burden in mice by directly affecting the tumor epithelium through transcriptional and metabolic changes.

The paper quantifies chromatin modification dynamics during zygotic genome activation in zebrafish embryos using fluorescent antibody imaging.

The paper examines transcriptional variation in glucosinolate biosynthetic genes and inducible responses to aphid herbivory in field-grown Arabidopsis thaliana using RNA-Seq and insect survey data.

A genetically encoded HA frankenbody probe binds HA epitopes in living cells to track protein translation, localization, and dynamics in multiple contexts.

The paper shows transcriptionally inactive euchromatin moves away from active euchromatin, forming RNA-enriched microenvironments that resemble an active microemulsion.

The paper investigates how genetic variation in the GLABRA1 gene affects insect communities on Arabidopsis thaliana by comparing glabrous mutants and natural accessions in two field sites.

The paper uses GWAS to show polygenic selection on pollen number in Arabidopsis thaliana, identifies a gene affecting pollen number, and validates its causal role using CRISPR-Cas9 mutants.

This study examines geographical co-occurrence patterns of 232 butterfly species in Japan, finding that host plant sharing promotes co-occurrence through niche filtering rather than competition.

The paper collects and analyzes environmental DNA from petal surfaces of cherry trees across Japan, showing rapid DNA attachment and the presence of other plant DNA, supporting the use of petals for studying environmental DNA dynamics.

This study identifies microbial glycoside hydrolases that disrupt biofilms and enhance antifungal efficacy against Aspergillus fumigatus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
