This study identifies C16:0 as a lipid driver of acne through Lrig1+ follicular progenitor cells, independent of microbes.

This study identifies Aspergillus latus, a hybrid species, as a causative agent of aspergillosis in Japan, showing reduced susceptibility to certain antifungals.

This study investigates the role of the periplasm and periplasmic proteins in copper homeostasis in Gram-negative bacteria, showing that the periplasm acts as a sensor and storage for copper to adapt to varying environmental concentrations.

The paper compares genome and transcriptome data from five Aspergillus species to analyze variations in biosynthetic gene cluster expression, finding that conserved clusters show diverse expression patterns despite genetic conservation.

The paper uses ribosome profiling in Streptococcus pneumoniae to show that NPET structure is required for species-specific ribosome stalling during translation.
