Multi-center screening of the Pathogen Box collection for schistosomiasis drug discovery
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Background Over the past five years, as a public service to encourage and accelerate drug discovery for diseases of poverty, the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) has released box sets of 400 compounds named the Malaria, Pathogen and Stasis Boxes. Here,

Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Underground Signals: The Ecological Power of Root Volatiles
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Root volatiles mediate rhizosphere chemical communication, shaping interactions among plants, microbes, herbivores, and natural enemies. Their production, transport, and perception underpin ecological adaptation, multitrophic interactions, and plant resilience, offering opportunities for sustainable crop protection, resilient agroecosystems, and ...

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...

Structure and Function of a Multi‐Megadalton Virus‐Like Proteolytic Dodecahedron
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Zuzalysin, a virulence metallopeptidase of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, is secreted as a latent, flexible ≈95‐kDa monomer. Calcium triggers cysteine‐switch activation and hierarchical assembly into pentamers, bipentamers, tripentamers, and a ≈5.6‐MDa, ≈355‐Å dodecahedron. Structures at 1.8–3.6 Å reveal a virus‐sized catalytic cage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study uncovers an unusual RNAi pathway in the rhizarian pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. In the absence of Dicer, a Drosha‐like RNase III protein supports the biogenesis of predominant 21‐nt small RNAs, and two Argonaute proteins mediate small RNA‐guided silencing.

Artificial Intelligence‐Guided Phenotypic Drug Repurposing Against Streptococcus pneumoniae
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Integrated artificial intelligence (AI) ensembles identify highly potent repurposed drugs against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Prospective virtual screening of 6747 drugs uncovers nine active candidates, including thiostrepton. This drug exhibits low picomolar potency and bypasses established resistance in multidrug‐resistant strains, demonstrating an ...
