Achromobacter xylosoxidans isolates exhibit genome diversity, variable virulence, high levels of antibiotic resistance and potential intrahost evolution.

Pooja Acharya, Cameron Lloyd, Ngoc Thien Lam, Jessica Kumke, Sreejana Ray, Zilia Y. Muñoz-Ramírez, Sanchita Das, Hanh Ngoc Lam

This study analyzes over 200 Achromobacter xylosoxidans genomes to show high antibiotic resistance, genomic plasticity, and variable virulence, with evidence of intrahost evolution.

HuR-dependent expression of RyR2 contributes to calcium-mediated thermogenesis in brown adipocytes

Adrienne Guarnieri, Sarah Anthony, Pooja Acharya, Bo Yao Wen, Lindsey Lanzillotta, Rylie Gavin, Michael Tranter

This study identifies HuR-dependent regulation of RyR2 expression as critical for calcium-mediated thermogenesis in brown adipocytes, showing that HuR stabilizes RyR2 mRNA to enhance calcium cycling and heat production.
