Seasonal dynamics in lettuce phyllosphere microbiota and potential transmission to the human gut

The paper examines seasonal changes in lettuce phyllosphere microbiota and their potential transfer to the human gut, finding seasonal shifts in microbial composition and associations with gut microbiota.

Engineering mtDNA Deletions by Reconstituting End-Joining in Human Mitochondria

This paper develops a method to engineer specific mtDNA deletions in human cells using end-joining machinery and targeted endonucleases, revealing a 75% heteroplasmy threshold for mitochondrial dysfunction.

The food-gut axis: the phyllosphere virome of fresh vegetables is diverse, abundant, and transmitted to the human gut virome

The study examines the virome of fresh vegetables and its transmission to the human gut, finding that vegetable viruses contribute to gut virome diversity.

Hierarchical cell-type identifier accurately distinguishes immune-cell subtypes enabling precise profiling of tissue microenvironment with single-cell RNA-sequencing

HiCAT improves immune cell subtype identification in single-cell RNA-seq by using a hierarchical marker-based approach, revealing new disease-related features in ulcerative colitis.
