Transcriptome and Proteome Changes in Silk Gland of Silkworm (Bombyx mori) Following Oral Feeding of Sodium Fluoride

Fluoride contamination is a long-standing persistent environmental issue, and the silkworm (Bombyx mori) has been recognized as superior as a model organism for toxicological studies. When exposed to fluoride, silkworms can accumulate twice the fluoride content of ingested mulberry leaves. Growth and development are se...

A Prey–Bacterivore Interaction: CdtB Involvement in the Cytotoxicity Mechanism of Escherichia albertii Against Tetrahymena thermophila CU427

Results indicate that CdtB is involved in E. albertii cytotoxicity against protist hosts, particularly Tetrahymena, and suggest that the cytotoxic mechanism, especially its interaction with host cells, differs from that in mammalian cells.

RNA thermometers as temperature-dependent tools for enhanced recombinant protein production in precision fermentation

Precision fermentation is a key technology for the future sustainable production of food proteins, bulk ingredients, and high-value recombinant products. However, process efficiency is often limited by the coupling of biomass formation and recombinant protein synthesis, leading to substantial carbon losses into non-rec...

Small viruses reveal bidirectional evolution between HK97-fold viruses and encapsulins via procapsids

Mining environmental metagenomics data, the authors show that small HK97-fold-encoding viral genomes bridge Duplodnaviria viral capsids and cellular protein shells, revealing bidirectional evolution in which viral procapsids enable the transitions between viral and metabolic compartments.

Structured biological evidence enables general-purpose language models to predict bacteriophage–host interactions

This work introduces a structured-evidence inference paradigm that retains heterogeneous biological observations as modular, named, and experimentally perturbable records rather than compressing them before prediction, and establishes structured biological evidence as a portable interface between heterogeneous biologic...

UGME: A python package for non-Markovian protein folding dynamics

UGme is presented, a modular, open-source Python package for constructing and validating generalized master equations (GME) models that explicitly account for these non-Markovian (memory) effects of biomolecular processes.

Tryptophan oxidation-induced dynamics highlight why stable γS-crystallin variants aggregate.

These findings support the established model in which crystallin aggregation is decoupled from global destabilization: although the oxidative modification at W163 is structurally tolerated through rearrangement of the local hydrogen bond network, the resulting changes in backbone flexibility render aggregation-competen...

A photocatalytic Anammox@LC-COF biohybrid overcomes oxidative stress defense for resilient nitrogen removal.

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is central to low-carbon nitrogen removal, but its engineering application remains vulnerable to environmentally induced oxidative stress, whereby excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation damages functional proteins and disrupts proteostasis. Here, we developed a low-c...

All-printed immunosensing microchip for fast and sensitive detection of urinary soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 in preeclampsia diagnosis.

We present an all-printed immunosensing microchip that integrates hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterning, covalent antibody immobilization, and photonic bandgap engineering into a single, scalable manufacturing platform for high-sensitivity protein detection. By precisely matching the microchip's photonic bandgap (centered...

Optimized gGBE enables robust G-to-Y conversion in mammalian cells and zebrafish embryos.

This study engineered a series of glycosidase guanine base editor (gGBE) constructs by inlaying the N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MPG) domain into Cas9 protein and generated zebrafish models carrying mutations homologous to human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated variants.
