In this study, Lee et al. analyse the structure and receptor-binding features of the spike glycoprotein from a clade 3 sarbecovirus to examine the risk of spillover from bats to humans.
Two recent studies provide mechanistic understanding of how bacteria employ the Gabija system for defence against phages, as well as how phages use anti-defence proteins to overcome bacterial immunity.
In this Review, Rillig, Kim and Zhu review our current understanding of the soil plastisphere, including the members of the microbial community that are enriched, the possible mechanisms underpinning this selection and functional properties.
In this Review, Meyerowitz et al. examine the clinical presentations of COVID-19 in the era of widespread population immunity and explore current approaches to managing COVID-19 across different patient groups.
In this Review, He and co-workers explore the structure and diversity of the oral microbiota, and they discuss the role of the oral microbiota in the pathology of both oral and systemic diseases.
In this Review, McCallum and Tropini discuss physical and biological factors that affect microbiota biogeography and organization at different scales, starting with an overview of the whole gut at the macroscale and then zooming in to the scale of host and microbial interactions.
