Microbiota-derived formate plays a critical role in enhancing pulmonary metastasis by modulating cancer cell metabolism.

Our findings suggest UVB can induce antigen-specific Tregs in a clinical setting, highlighting its potential for broader immunosuppressive applications.

By synthesizing current research, this review underscores the opportunities for further studies to clarify the regulatory mechanisms of galectins in skin inflammation, aiming to enhance therapeutic strategies.

Our findings have revealed a missing link between the HIF-1α pathway and the O2-sensing KDM pathway. Finally, the active DNA demethylation activity of DNMT3A has now emerged as a new potential target for therapeutic development to prevent EMT and metastasis of cancer cells.

We demonstrate that RepRanger represents a versatile tool for discovering REPs in bacteria and archaea, providing new insights into their functions and sequence diversity.

These results establish G9 as a central EFC component and underscore its potential as a target for antiviral development.

These findings change the current view of splicing fidelity control and offer new mechanistic insights into Prp22-mediated mRNA release. The paper is recognized as Breakthrough Article by NAR.

These results identify RNase E as a key flagellar biogenesis regulator, revealing novel posttranscriptional control mechanisms.

We report that several Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologous recombination proteins exhibit anti-MMR activities, including Rad51, Rad54, Rad59, and synapsis-promoting ZMM proteins (Mer3, Zip1, Zip4, and Msh4) in SK1/S288c hybrid meiosis.

These findings demonstrate that studying Agrobacterium in real plant contexts and incorporating diverse strains is essential to capture its full biology and improve transformation efficiency.

The research group developed a new computational tool called TISCalling, which is designed to find and identify the start signals for protein production (translation initiation sites, or TISs) in plant and plant viral genomes.

The findings open up new avenues for developing plants with enhanced phytoremediation capacity and improved nutritional value through targeted manipulation of NA transport.

These findings shed light on how TEs shape genome evolution in crops and highlight their untapped potential for breeding and genome engineering.

This work therefore not only demonstrates that hOgg1 is well suited for time-resolved crystallography, but also that such analysis is necessary to determine further steps in its reaction.

Our ABO antibody assay reproducibly measures graft-specific anti-A-II antibodies, providing information beyond anti-A titers that may increase transplant access for ABO-B and ABO-O candidates.
