🧬 Giant DNA viruses encode their own eukaryote-like translation machinery, researchers discover
https://phys.org/news/2026-02-giant-dna-viruses-encode-eukaryote.html
#virus #microbes #molbio #translation #omics #genomics #giantvirus
In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma that viruses lack protein synthesis machinery, and blurs the line between cellular life and viruses.

🪅 Gut bacteria rapidly adapt to digest starches in ultra-processed foods, study finds
https://phys.org/news/2025-12-gut-bacteria-rapidly-digest-starches.html

Gut bacteria evolve rapidly in response to different diets, UCLA evolutionary biologists report in a new study. The researchers found that gene variants that help microbes digest starches found in ultra-processed foods have "swept" the genomes of some species of gut bacteria in industrialized parts of the world.
new paper: "Single-cell transcriptomics of acetaminophen-induced responses in human 2D and 3D liver microtissues" https://doi.org/10.1007/s00204-025-04296-6
"Here, we applied single cell RNA sequencing to characterize cellular responses to acetaminophen exposure in two distinct liver cell culture formats: two-dimensional monolayers (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) spheroids composed of primary human hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, and liver endothelial cells."
