Nature Communications, Published online: 28 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17330-1The discovery of aerobic microbial communities in nutrient-poor sediments below the seafloor begs the question of the mechanisms for their persistence. Here the authors investigate subseafloor sediment in the South Pacific Gyre abyssal plain, showing that aerobic microbial life can be revived and retain metabolic potential even from 101.5 Ma-old sediment.
Nature Communications, Published online: 28 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17562-1As nanoscale building blocks, proteins offer unique advantages, including monodispersity and atomically tunable interactions, but their self-assembly is limited compared to inorganic or polymeric nanoparticles. Here, the authors show modular self-assembly of an engineered protein into four physicochemically distinct patterned 2D crystals via control of four classes of interactions.

Nature Communications, Published online: 28 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17557-yButyrophilin-like genes are emerging as central to tissue associated γδ T cell compartments. Here, the authors show that the butyropilin-like gene-products exert their effects as combinatorially diverse heteromers that differentially affect the selection and maintenance of skin-resident and gut-resident intraepithelial γδ T-cell populations.
Nature Communications, Published online: 28 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17573-yRalstonia solanacearum evades plant immunity by producing an atypical flagellin protein, thus causing bacterial wilt disease. Here, Wei et al. show that soybean has evolved a divergent flagellin receptor that recognises R. solanacearum flagellin and enhances wilt resistance when transferred to other plants.
Nature Communications, Published online: 28 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17477-xSome immune-mediated diseases may originate in early childhood. The authors mapped eQTLs and response eQTLs to various stimuli in neonatal myeloid cells and T cells, and revealed their potential role in immune-mediated diseases using colocalisation and Mendelian randomisation.
Nature Communications, Published online: 28 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17543-4Alcohol craving can be enhanced by alcohol-associated cues and by alcohol-associated contexts. Here the authors investigate the role of the ventral tegmental area (VTA)-to-nucleus accumbens (NAc) core and VTA-to-NAc shell circuits in mediating these distinct aspects of alcohol seeking behaviour in rats.

Nature Communications, Published online: 28 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17590-xIn this study the authors show that monotonous basaltic volcanoes can host a range of melts in their sub-volcanic systems, extending to rhyolitic compositions. The study implies that volcanoes which have produced monotonous basaltic lavas on long timescales could transition to more explosive, silica-rich eruptions in the future.
