This study identifies gram-positive bacterial cell wall components, such as peptidoglycan and lipoteichoic acid, as inhibitors of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection in vitro and in a mouse model.

This study investigates the evolution of beta-catenin paralogs in C. elegans, showing that SYS-1 compensates for missing domains through novel transactivation and nuclear localization mechanisms.

This study identifies beta-carboline compounds produced by vaginal lactobacilli that reduce inflammation by suppressing immune signaling pathways and demonstrate therapeutic potential in a mouse model.

This study identifies mutations that enhance Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron's utilization of raffinose family oligosaccharides by increasing BT1871 expression and shows the role of PUL22 hydrolases and BT4338 in this process.
