TCMD: A High‐Throughput and Rapid Method for Screening Antimicrobial Ingredients from Renewable Bio‐Based Resources

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a strategy to screen the active compounds from bio‐mixtures via combining transcriptomic profiling and molecular docking. The proposed method demonstrates 100% correction in three different biobased mixtures and is 3–20 times faster than traditional approaches.

A Dual‐Targeting T6SS DNase Drives Bacterial Antagonism and Eukaryotic Apoptosis via the cGAS‐STING‐TNF Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The bacterial Type VI secretion system (T6SS) emerges as a sophisticated virulence mechanism, leveraging the dual‐function effector TkeA from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. TkeA concurrently damages rival bacteria and host cell DNA, triggering the host's cGAS‐STING‐TNF pathway and inducing apoptosis.

Impact of Virus‐Mediated Modifications in Bacterial Communities on the Accumulation of Soil Organic Carbon

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study illustrates the impact of viruses on carbon cycling in soils with different availabilities of carbon. In conditions of low carbon availability, viruses adopt a lysogenic lifestyle, integrate into the host genomes and facilitate the degradation of carbon.

Identification of bioactive compounds and molecular targets of Fuke Huahuang formulation to treat vaginitis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Fuke Huahuang formulation (FHF) is used to treat vaginitis, and it exerts a promising anti‐inflammatory effect in clinical use. However, the detailed components and mechanisms of FHF for treating vaginitis remain unreported, and further preclinical evaluation is required to reveal its potential pharmacological activities against vaginitis.

Analysis of plant metabolomics data using identification‐free approaches

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant metabolomes are structurally diverse. One of the most popular techniques for sampling this diversity is liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC‐MS), which typically detects thousands of peaks from single organ extracts, many representing true metabolites.

Emergence of Staphylococcus aureus Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides Nisin, NZ2114 and Bacitracin Involves Multiple Phenotypic Changes

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The AMP‐induced mutant Staphylococcus aureus strain nzR showed increased resistance, five gene mutations, and decreased surface anion levels. AMPs affect the NDH‐2 protein encoded by ndh gene inhibiting the growth of S. aureus. The deletion of the ndh gene promotes the development of AMPs resistance.

Improving trans‐cinnamic acid production in a model cyanobacterium

Biotechnology Progress, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract trans‐Cinnamic acid (tCA) is a precursor in the synthesis of many high‐value compounds with bio‐active qualities useful in applications like medicine, polymers, and cosmetics. Currently tCA is produced by industrial chemical synthesis from fossil fuels or cost‐prohibitive isolation from terrestrial plants.
