Extracellular Membrane Vesicles and Phytopathogenicity of Acholeplasma laidlawii PG8 by Vladislav M. Chernov, Olga A. Chernova, Alexey A. Mouzykantov, Natalija B. Baranova, Oleg V. Gorshkov, Maxim V. Trushin, Tatiana N. Nesterova, Anastasia A. Ponomareva

“…Data on the ability of extracellular vesicles of Acholeplasma laidlawii PG8 to penetrate from the nutrient medium into overground parts of Oryza sativa L. through the root system and to cause alterations in ultrastructural organization of the plants were presented. As a result of the analysis of ultrathin leaf sections of plants grown in medium with A. laidlawii PG8 vesicles, we detected significant changes in tissue ultrastructure characteristic to oxidative stress in plants as well as their cultivation along with bacterial cells. …”

Genome-wide profiling of DNA repair proteins in single cells by Kim L. de Luca, Pim M. J. Rullens, Magdalena A. Karpinska, Sandra S. de Vries, Agnieszka Gacek-Matthews, Lőrinc S. Pongor, Gaëlle Legube, Joanna W. Jachowicz, A. Marieke Oudelaar, Jop Kind

“…Because damage occurs non-uniformly across the genome, single-cell resolution is required for proper interrogation, but sensitive detection has remained challenging. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of repair protein localization in single human cells using DamID and ChIC sequencing techniques. …”
