    A drug repurposing approach reveals targetable epigenetic pathways in Plasmodium vivax hypnozoites

    Steven P Maher, Malina A Bakowski ... Dennis E Kyle
    Drug repurposing screens reveal several epigenetic inhibitors as active against P. vivax hypnozoites demonstrating that epigenetic pathways play a central role in hypnozoite quiescence.

    Prophage regulation of Shewanella fidelis 3313 motility and biofilm formation with implications for gut colonization dynamics in Ciona robusta

    Ojas Natarajan, Susanne L Gibboney ... Larry J Dishaw
    Deleting SfPat prophage reduces Shewanella fidelis motility, increases biofilms, changes pdeB expression and spatial retention in Ciona gut, while Ciona VCBP-C binding to the WT strain results in reduced expression of viral capsid proteins without inducing SOS, indicating tripartite interactions.
