A protein called PriC allows DNA replication to proceed in Escherichia coli when the complex that usually initiates this process is compromised.

PriC provides a bypass mechanism for compromised helicase loading at the origin of the Escherichia coli chromosome, which ensures the robustness of the chromosome replication initiation.

An upstream open-reading frame in Escherichia coli regulates expression of the downstream genes in response to diverse translation stresses.

Oxydifficidin presents potent activity against multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhea with a new mode of action, which opens a new avenue for potentially addressing antibiotic resistant gonorrhea.

IFN-β-induced WTAP phase transition bridges STAT1 and MTC, which orchestrates m⁶A dynamics on ISG mRNAs to suppress excessive immune response and sustain immune homeostasis.

Precise protein quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum is crucial for Cryptococcus neoformans pathogenicity by modulating glycoprotein processing and extracellular vesicle-mediated transport of virulence factors.

Nutritional adaptations in Leishmania donovani enable persistent antimony resistance and reduced Amphotericin-B effectiveness by selectively exploiting host lipids and limiting cholesterol mobilization.

Household clustering and seasonal parasite dynamics highlight the need to target asymptomatic carriers for community-based malaria elimination strategies.
