This study uses single-cell dual proteomics to reveal cellular remodeling during photosymbiosis establishment in Paramecium and Chlorella.

This study shows that photosynthetic endosymbionts in Paramecium bursaria shape the host's daily gene expression patterns, with disrupted photosynthesis reverting these patterns to an aposymbiotic state.

This study investigates splicing regulation and intron evolution in Paramecium bursaria during endosymbiosis, finding that splicing enhances gene expression and older introns evolve toward shorter lengths and lower GC content for efficient splicing.

The paper investigates carbon transfer between Paramecium bursaria and its Chlorella symbionts, finding host-to-symbiont carbon transfer rather than the previously assumed algal-to-host direction.

The paper uses spatial proteomics to show lipid droplet remodeling in Paramecium bursaria during endosymbiosis, revealing their role in maintaining the symbiotic relationship.

The paper replaces orthologous transcription factors in yeast to show that stable TFIIIC complexes are essential for proper mitotic chromosome segregation.

This study investigates an early stage of mutualistic endosymbiosis between Tetrahymena and its algal endosymbiont, revealing condition-dependent parasitic aspects of the endosymbionts.

The paper uses experimental evolution in yeast to identify Hmt1 as a general regulator of noise buffering, showing its role in adjusting noise levels in response to environmental cues and its conservation across species.
