Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

T3SS effector and regulator discovery by predicting interacting partners of T3SS chaperones in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a prominent opportunistic pathogen whose virulence is closely linked to its Type III Secretion System (T3SS), a specialized apparatus that injects effector proteins into host cells. T3SS chaperones are essential for stabilizing, delivering, and regulating T3SS expression.
