Cancer immunotherapy utilizing cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) has demonstrated significant promise in clinical applications, but cancer immunosuppressive mechanisms hamper further progress in T cell immunotherapy. Here we show a correlation between cancer cell mitochondria content and their resis...

Abstract This study focused on elucidating the lignocellulose degradation mechanism of Pholiota adiposa strain YAHS, aiming to provide theoretical basis and microbial resources for straw biorefining. Using the aniline blue-guaiacol plate screening method, 11 fungal strains were isolated from the ...

Background: The use of sulfonamides (SAs) caused residual pollution in the environment. Bacteria play an important role in the degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics, and microbial consortium offers advantages over single bacterium. However, the complex degradation process and interaction mechani...

Bamboo rats (Rhizomys pruinosus) are among the few mammals that lives on a bamboo-based diet which is mainly composed of lignocellulose. However, the mechanisms of adaptation of their gut microbiome and metabolic systems in the degradation of lignocellulose are largely unknown. Here, we ...

Due to marketing recommendations, white wines are often bottled in flint glass to improve aesthetics and showcase wine color. Although this practice is known to cause a wine fault, the influence of light on the fruity and flowery aromatic profile of wine is unknown. The aim of this study was to i...

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt), a key commensal of the human gut microbiota, exhibits robust capacity to degrade dietary polysaccharides via carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). However, the exact spatial distribution and the functional coordination of these enzymes remain poor...

This study examined the phenol degradation capabilities and oxidative stress responses of Candida tropicalis SHC-03, demonstrating its metabolic superiority and resilience compared to Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4742 in a culture medium with phenol as the sole carbon source. Through comparative gr...

Mitochondrial heat shock proteins and co-chaperones play essential roles in maintaining proteostasis. They are renowned for regulating unfolded proteins, usually without specific target preferences. In this study, we identified T cell activation inhibitor, mitochondria (TCAIM), as a novel DNAJC-t...

Hyperuricemia is a growing global health concern associated with gout, renal diseases, and cardiovascular disorders. Current pharmacotherapies are often limited by side effects, underscoring the need for alternative strategies. In this study, we isolated Limosilactobacillus fermentum M5...
