PTN establishes a pro-invasive tumor-nerve microenvironment to drive perineural spread in adenoid cystic carcinoma
Abstract Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a slow-growing but highly invasive tumor that is prone to perineural invasion. At present, the molecular features of adenoid cystic carcinoma have not been fully explored, and the key cell populations and signaling pathways that regulate tumor initiation, progression, and perineural invasion remain unclear.
Decade-long warming accelerates antibiotic resistance in grassland soils
Abstract Soils are critical reservoirs of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs)1,2, which are strongly shaped by microbial interactions and environmental conditions and are therefore highly sensitive to disturbance2,3,4,5,6. Although climate warming is recognized as one of the most significant disturbances to microbial communities and their functions7,8,9,10, its impacts on soil resistomes remain poorly understood.
Drought amplifies warming-induced soil carbon loss in a decade-long experiment
|
Abstract A key uncertainty in understanding whether warming accelerates soil carbon (C) loss lies in how this response depends on other co-occurring environmental changes and the underlying mechanisms. Here we show that, in a 12-year grassland experiment, warming reduces soil C by 12.2% under drought but increases it by 6.7% under wet conditions. Such C losses during drought primarily result from the declines in mineral-associated organic C.

Ablating Satb1 reprograms the differentiation trajectory of exhausted CD8 + T subsets to enhance antitumor immunity
Abstract Introduction: Under chronic infections or in tumors, persistent antigen exposure drives CD8+ T cell exhaustion, a heterogeneous state encompassing a differentiation continuum from stem-like progenitor (Tpex) cells through transitory effector-like (Tex-int) cells to terminally exhausted (Tex-term) subsets. Among these T cell subsets, Tex-int cells serve as the primary population responsible for direct tumor cell killing.
Global diversity and distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in human wastewater treatment systems - Nature Communications
Abstract Antibiotic resistance poses a significant threat to human health, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are important reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Here, we analyze the antibiotic resistomes of 226 activated sludge samples from 142 WWTPs across six continents, using a consistent pipeline for sample collection, DNA sequencing and analysis.
Metagenomic insights into microbial community structure and metabolism in alpine permafrost on the Tibetan Plateau - Nature Communications
Abstract Permafrost, characterized by its frozen soil, serves as a unique habitat for diverse microorganisms. Understanding these microbial communities is crucial for predicting the response of permafrost ecosystems to climate change. However, large-scale evidence regarding stratigraphic variations in microbial profiles remains limited.
Experimental warming accelerates positive soil priming in a temperate grassland ecosystem - Nature Communications
Abstract Unravelling biosphere feedback mechanisms is crucial for predicting the impacts of global warming. Soil priming, an effect of fresh plant-derived carbon (C) on native soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition, is a key feedback mechanism that could release large amounts of soil C into the atmosphere. However, the impacts of climate warming on soil priming remain elusive. Here, we show that experimental warming accelerates soil priming by 12.7% in a temperate grassland.
Climate warming enhances microbial network complexity and stability
Abstract Unravelling the relationships between network complexity and stability under changing climate is a challenging topic in theoretical ecology that remains understudied in the field of microbial ecology. Here, we examined the effects of long-term experimental warming on the complexity and stability of molecular ecological networks in grassland soil microbial communities.
A quantitative framework reveals ecological drivers of grassland microbial community assembly in response to warming
Abstract Unraveling the drivers controlling community assembly is a central issue in ecology. Although it is generally accepted that selection, dispersal, diversification and drift are major community assembly processes, defining their relative importance is very challenging. Here, we present a framework to quantitatively infer community assembly mechanisms by phylogenetic bin-based null model analysis (iCAMP).
