The paper identifies that giant DNA viruses encode a functional IF4F translation initiation complex, enabling viral protein synthesis and challenging the distinction between cellular and acellular biology.

The paper analyzes 16 nuclease-NTPase systems to identify shared features controlling bacterial anti-phage defense, revealing universal protein complex formation and broad nucleic acid degradation capabilities.

This study identifies mast cell-derived histamine as a regulator of perineural invasion in epithelial cancers, showing that H1-antihistamines improve survival and immunotherapy response.
