(), initially isolated from human feces, has been recognised as a distinct taxon within the Archaea domain following comprehensive phenotypic, genetic, and genomic analyses confirming its uniqueness among methanogens. Its diversity, encompassing 15 genotypes, mirrors that of biotic and host-associated ecosystems in which plays a crucial role in detoxifying hydrogen from bacterial fermentations, converting it into mechanically expelled gaseous methane. In microbiota in contact with host epithelial mucosae, centres metabolism-driven microbial networks with , , , , , , , , whereas symbiotic association with the nanoarchaea Nanopusillus phoceensis determines small and large cell variants of . The former translocate with bacteria to induce detectable inflammatory and serological responses and are co-cultured from blood, urine, and tissular abscesses with bacteria, prototyping as a model organism for pathogenicity by association. The sources, mechanisms and dynamics of and lifespan acquisition, its diversity, and its susceptibility to molecules of environmental, veterinary, and medical interest still have to be deeply investigated, as only four strains of are available in microbial collections, despite the pivotal role this neglected microorganism plays in microbiota physiology and pathologies.

Deciphering how noncoding DNA determines gene expression is critical for decoding the functional genome. Understanding the transcription effects of noncoding genetic variants are still major unsolved problems, which is critical for downstream applications in human genetics and precision medicine. Here, we integrate regulatory-specific neural networks and tissue-specific gradient-boosting trees to build SVEN: a hybrid sequence-oriented architecture that can accurately predict tissue-specific gene expression level and quantify the tissue-specific transcriptomic impacts of structural variants across more than 350 tissues and cell lines.

Inflammasomes are defense complexes that utilize cytokines and immunogenic cell death (ICD) to stimulate the immune system against pathogens. Inspired by their dual action, we present cytokine-armed pyroptosis as a strategy for boosting immune response against diverse types of tumors. To induce pyroptosis, we utilize designed tightly regulated gasdermin D variants comprising different pore-forming capabilities and diverse modes of activation, representing a toolbox of ICD inducers.

Proteostasis is maintained through regulated protein synthesis and degradation and chaperone-assisted protein folding. However, this is challenging in neuronal projections because of their polarized morphology and constant synaptic proteome remodeling. Using high-resolution fluorescence microscopy, we discover that hippocampal and spinal cord motor neurons of mouse and human origin localize a subset of chaperone mRNAs to their dendrites and use microtubule-based transport to increase this asymmetric localization following proteotoxic stress.

Background: Variants in the GABRA2 gene, which encodes the α2 subunit of the γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor, have been linked to a rare form of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) referred to as DEE78. Only eight patients have been reported globally. This study presents the clinical presentation and genetic analysis of a Chinese family with a child diagnosed with DEE78, due to a novel GABRA2 variant.
