The paper identifies candidate prions across all three domains of life and finds conserved functions suggesting ancient roles in adaptation and evolution.

The paper proposes using biological solutions like self-healing materials, biobatteries, and synthetic rubber-producing bacteria to enhance sustainability and reduce costs for Mars exploration.

This paper introduces Ribo-attenuators, a novel genetic element that improves the modularity and reliability of riboswitches in bacteria by reducing expression variation and contextual sensitivity.
