Impacts of climate extremes on plant pathogens, microbiomes and plant health - Nature Reviews Microbiology In this Review, Singh and colleagues discuss the impacts of key climate extremes on soil-borne pathogens, plant microbiomes and host physiology that ultimately determine disease outcomes, as well as the eco-evolutionary mechanisms by which pathogens, hosts and microbiomes may adapt to climate extremes. Finally, they propose an integrated pathway for harnessing microbiomes to address the critical challenges posed by climate extremes.

A Review in Nature Reviews Microbiology discusses the impacts of climate extremes on soil-borne pathogens, plant microbiomes and host physiology that determine disease outcomes, along with the mechanisms by which pathogens, hosts and microbiomes adapt to climate extremes. 🔒

Parallel but distinct adaptive routes in the budding and fission yeasts after 10,000 generations of experimental evolution - Nature Ecology & Evolution Experimental evolution of fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) in the same environment as a previous experiment with budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) reveals parallel evolution but distin...

Same destination, different routes 🍄🧫🧪

Following 10,000 generations, parallel evolution occurred in separate yeast species, but took different genetic routes driven largely by transcriptomic and trans‑regulatory differences.

Une bactérie protectrice contre le covid long Une bactérie, dénommée Dolosigranulum pigrum, pourrait prévenir le covid long, une affection qui touche 400 000 Belges. Cette découverte a été faite par des scientifiques de l’UCLouvain et des Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc. Moins abondante dans le nasopharynx des personnes qui développent des symptômes persistants dans le temps, cette bactérie offre une piste potentielle à la création d’un probiotique à administrer en préventif.

Hexokinase detachment from mitochondria drives the Warburg effect to support compartmentalized ATP production - Nature Metabolism Hexokinase detachment from the outer mitochondrial membrane is shown to support aerobic glycolysis in cancer cells. Differential localization of the HK1 isoform to the outer mitochondrial membrane, compared to the HK2 isoform, explains the conditional essentiality of HK2 in cancer cells cultured in physiologic media.

Human MASLD is a diurnal disease driven by multisystem insulin resistance and reduced insulin availability at night By studying metabolism across day and night in human participants, Marjot et al. show that MASLD is a nighttime disease driven by poor insulin action and low insulin levels. These daily patterns persist after weight loss, suggesting that nighttime metabolic dysfunction is a key driver of liver fat accumulation.

Mitochondrial transfer from immune to tumor cells enables lymph node metastasis How cancer cells subvert immunity to colonize the lymph node remains unclear. Terasaki et al. uncover that lymph node metastasis may be driven by an immune-to-cancer mitochondria transfer axis that impairs immune function and augments cancer immune evasion programs through type I interferon signaling.
