This study identifies the functional interplay between PBP1A and LdtJ in Acinetobacter baumannii, showing that disrupting their coordination weakens the cell envelope and increases colistin resistance.

This study shows that the Tol-Pal system in Acinetobacter baumannii is conditionally required for envelope organization under specific environmental stresses but not under standard lab conditions.

This study profiles human aortic endothelial cells in vitro and atherosclerotic lesions ex vivo, revealing heterogeneous subtypes and their responses to perturbations.

The paper identifies functional non-coding SNPs in human endothelial cells that influence vascular traits by affecting transcriptional regulation and chromatin states.

This study identifies a genetic variant at 1p32.2 that regulates endothelial responses to hemodynamics by modulating an enhancer region in vascular endothelium.
