Using both electron cryo-tomography and helical reconstruction, the first structure of the entire archaellum machinery with an assembled filament has been determined, providing the structural basis for our understanding of archaeal motility.

An ion transporter is hyperglycosylated and 50% less functional in NGLY1-deficient cells, potentially explaining several symptoms of NGLY1 deficiency such as lack of sweat and tears.
A novel DNA/RNA modifying enzyme catalyzing a previously unknown 5-carbamoyloxymethylcytosine modification has been discovered using a novel framework called Metagenomics Genome-Phenome Association.

The structural and functional characterization of EleNRMT defines the basis for the distinct ion selectivity of a clade of the SLC11/NRAMP family which, instead of transporting transition metal ions, have evolved as uncoupled transporters of Mg2+.
Doubletime kinase stabilizes the PER/TIM complex and regulates its transcriptional inhibition function to delay circadian transcriptional activity, helping sustain 24-hour periodicity in the circadian clock.
Targeting CD73 not only enhances anti-tumor immunity but also disrupts tumor cell metabolism and hinders poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) activity, thus unveiling novel opportunities for combination cancer treatments.
