The necessity of studying extremophile organisms is exemplified by the structure of photosystem I from a high-light tolerant cyanobacteria, demonstrating the relationship between the structure and function in photosystem I.
Deep mutational scanning was used to comprehensively quantify the effects of mutations to influenza hemagglutinin and shows that the virus possesses a high inherent mutational tolerance at key antigenic sites.

Increased primary root growth in pearl millet is correlated with early water stress tolerance, an important constraint in agrosystems in the Sahel, and is associated with the regulation of root cell elongation by a glutaredoxin.

Shifts in pH that result from metabolic interactions between members of the Drosophila gut microbiota were sufficient to modulate Lactobacillus plantarum tolerance to the antibiotics rifampin and erythromycin.
Collaborative transcription factors (TFs) exhibit a dominant pattern of a relaxed range of spacing and substantial tolerance of spacing alterations resulting from naturally occurring insertions and deletions in comparison to genetic variants directly affecting TF binding sites.
Neuronal recordings from rat visual cortex reveal an object-processing pathway, along which neuronal representations become increasingly capable of supporting recognition of visual objects in spite of variation in their appearance.
Microbiome and transcriptomic profiling of genetically selected tropical fish with high and low tolerance to cold exposure revealed host control over microbiome composition and response to temperature changes.
Nrn1, a novel extracellular evolutionarily conserved molecule, impacts cellular electric and metabolic state and contributes to cell fate and immune response outcome.

Roundworms and yeast can survive extreme desiccation only by switching their metabolism into a gluconeogenic mode and producing very high amounts of trehalose via the glyoxylate shunt.
