Lifestyle Impacts the Oral Microbiome of Classical and Post‐Classical Societies in Italy

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 1, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The fall of the Roman Empire (476 CE) profoundly affected the lives of its peoples due to the political, administrative, and territorial changes that occurred. The majority of written records of the time focus on the social élite, leaving larger parts of the population understudied.

Monoallelic POLR3A Variants Cause Early‐Onset Peripheral Neuropathy

Annals of Neurology, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 655-671, September 2026.
Objective Biallelic variants in genes encoding the RNA polymerase III complex (Pol III) cause a spectrum of neurological disorders primarily affecting the central nervous system. Monoallelic variants have been reported in the POLR3B subunit only, associated with neurodevelopmental disorder, epilepsy, and peripheral neuropathy.

Nucleases and Their Inhibitors: Exploring Biological Roles, Industrial Applications, and Challenges in Heterologous Expression

Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 9, September 2026.
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Intracellular nucleases, depicted as blue circles in a nucleosome, hydrolyze phosphodiester bonds, repair damaged DNA using DNA base excision repair (BER), mismatch repair (MMR), and homologous recombination (HR), and are involved in DNA replication.

An archaeal nucleoid-associated protein binds an essential motif in DNA replication origins

Nature Communications
DNA replication typically has defined start sites, or replication origins, which are designated by their recognition by specific initiator proteins. In addition to initiators, general chromatin or nucleoid-associated proteins have been shown to play ...

Pangenome of Streptomyces sampsonii and Relatives Highlights Horizontal Gene Transfer and Secondary Metabolism in Environmental Adaptation and Ecological Significance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study presents a chromosome‐level genome assembly of Streptomyces sampsonii and a pangenome analysis of 95 strains, revealing a highly expansive “open” pangenome. Our results highlight that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and accessory gene variations drive the evolution of secondary metabolism and environmental adaptation.

Viruses in the sediments around the trenches harbor diverse survival mechanisms

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Deep‐sea trenches are the deepest and most isolated environments in the global ocean but the diversity and adaptation of the viral communities remain poorly characterized. In this study, 5563 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) were identified from sediments of the Yap Trench and Western Caroline Basin.

Targeting the intratumoral microbiota to overcome cancer immunotherapy resistance

Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 5, September 2026.
This review delineates the mechanisms of intratumoral microbiota in cancer immunotherapy resistance, and offers strategies for microbiota‐targeted precision immunotherapy. Abstract Cancer remains a significant global health threat. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a sophisticated ecological niche that exerts a pivotal effect on treatment outcomes ...

Sedimentary lycopane/n‐C31 ratio as a proxy for bottom water hypoxia in coastal ocean

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Bottom‐water hypoxia on continental shelves is intensifying under climate change and eutrophication, yet long‐term records remain scarce. Here we show that the sedimentary lycopane/n‐C31 ratio reliably records bottom‐water oxygenation in the seasonally hypoxic Yangtze River Estuary.

Quaternary structures of Streptococcus pneumoniae nucleoside diphosphate kinase: From hexamers to supramolecular assemblies

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) is a key enzyme that controls the balance of nucleotide pools in all living organisms. Beyond this fundamental role, NDKs exert pleiotropic effects in many cellular processes, including cell development, signal transduction, differentiation, tumor metastasis, and gene expression. The quaternary structure
