In a prospective, population-based cohort, high polygenic risk and infection with Fusobacterium nucleatum have a small, yet independent impact on coronary heart disease risk.
A multidimensional chemical mapping strategy enables confident determination of the structures of non-coding RNAs at 1-nm resolution, including previously intractable riboswitch and human regulon states.

Microbial populations are continuous along the gastrointestinal tract, with increased transmission in colorectal cancer and rheumatoid arthritis patients.
A multi-cohort analysis of 2,500 gut microbiomes and five major diseases discovers that disease-microbiome associations display specific age-centric trends, with diseases characterized by age-centric trends of species gain/loss.
Single-molecule F1FO studies show mutation-dependent pKa changes of both FO half-channels, and proton translocation-dependent 11° ATP synthase-direction sub-steps, which support a Grotthuss proton transfer-dependent two-step FO torque generating mechanism.
