Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Recessive resistance mediated by mutations in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), has proven effective against diverse potyviruses and is extensively utilized in breeding programs. However, the rise of resistance-breaking (RB) strains and emerging potyviral species necessitates the development of more durable and broad-spectrum resistance strategies. In this study, our field survey in Yunnan, China, identified potato virus Y (PVY) RB isolates, as well as the prevalence of tobacco vein banding mosaic virus (TVBMV) and chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV), in tobacco carrying the recessive locus, which lacks the susceptibility gene, due to a chromosomal deletion. Protein interaction and viral infection assays demonstrated that both eIF4E1-S and eIFiso4E-T are used by PVY RB as susceptibility factors for infection, with the combined inactivation of these genes confering durable resistance. Similarly, the knockout of in the genetic background, provided effective resistance to TVBMV and reduced susceptibility to ChiVMV. Notably, pyramiding mutations in and , in tobacco, generated plants exhibiting robust, broad-spectrum resistance, to all three viruses, without compromising plant development. These findings underscore the potential of stacking eIF4E mutations to engineer durable, broad-spectrum resistance to potyviruses in tobacco, offering a promising strategy for crop improvement.

The rapid increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and biofilm-associated infections has intensified the global need for innovative antimicrobial strategies. Phage therapy offers promising precision against MDR pathogens by utilizing the natural ability of phages to specifically infect and lyse bacteria. However, their clinical application is hampered by challenges such as narrow host range, immune clearance and limited efficacy within biofilms.

However, unlike traditional dyes or pigments that allow for arbitrary color adjustments during the coloring process, current structural color surfaces lack flexibility in control, as their colors are difficult to reprocess or adjust once formed.

Cancer development and response to treatment are evolutionary processes, but characterizing evolutionary dynamics at a clinically meaningful scale has remained challenging. Here we develop a new methodology called EVOFLUx, based on natural DNA methylation barcodes fluctuating over time, that quantitatively infers evolutionary dynamics using only a bulk tumour methylation profile as input. We apply EVOFLUx to 1,976 well-characterized lymphoid cancer samples spanning a broad spectrum of diseases and show that initial tumour growth rate, malignancy age and epimutation rates vary by orders of magnitude across disease types.

The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome detects a broad spectrum of pathogen- and damage-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs and DAMPs), initiating inflammatory responses through caspase-1 activation and interleukin (IL)-1β/IL-18 release. Dysregulated NLRP3 activation is implicated in a range of diseases, including infectious diseases, autoinflammatory disorders, metabolic disorders, and cancer, making it an attractive therapeutic target. Here, we identify ZAP-180013 as a potent and selective small-molecule inhibitor of NLRP3 through high-throughput chemical screening.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multifaceted disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The resulting thick mucus accumulation increases the risk of microbial infections, leading to chronic lung inflammation, progressive tissue damage, and pulmonary exacerbations (PEs). Respiratory viruses may facilitate bacterial colonization, significantly contributing to PEs.
