  • Inheriting traits | Nature Reviews Microbiology

    Bacterial metabolic activity across generations has been shown to be unstable owing to stochastic gene expression and the environments of the bacteria. Previously, the inheritance of bacterial metabolic activity has often been investigated at the…

    Metagenomics distilled: new k-mer-based methods

    k-mer-based methods have long been used for metagenomic analysis as they quickly and efficiently identify microorganisms in large datasets and enable the estimation of the relative abundance of microbial species and the tracking of strains in…

    Inhibition of Talin2 dedifferentiates myofibroblasts and reverses lung and kidney fibrosis

    Study design

    This study examines two related hypotheses. The first is that myofibroblast differentiation (from monocytes and fibroblasts) is governed by adhesion mechanics, and the second is that modulation of adhesion mechanics machinery can be…

    Pedunculopontine-stimulation obstructs hippocampal theta rhythm and halts movement

    Movement arrest, or the temporary cessation of movement, is a common and adaptive aspect of animal and human behavior1. It often occurs in response to unexpected events or the sudden appearance of obstacles that demand the immediate suppression…

    Modelling POLG mutations in mice unravels a critical role of POLγΒ in regulating phenotypic severity

    Animal work

    All animal experiments were carried out in accordance with EU Directive 2010/63/EU (authorization from the Italian Ministry of Health: PR474/2021). The animals were maintained in a temperature- and humidity-controlled animal care…
