    Allosteric coupling asymmetry mediates paradoxical activation of BRAF by type II inhibitors

    Damien M Rasmussen, Manny M Semonis ... Nicholas M Levinson
    A comprehensive allosteric model describes how inhibitors can activate rather than inhibit a target kinase by selectively driving formation of kinase dimers with one inhibited and one activated subunit.

    Neuron-specific RNA-sequencing reveals different responses in peripheral neurons after nerve injury

    Sara Bolívar, Elisenda Sanz ... Esther Udina
    In reporter mice, subtypes of peripheral neurons show different regenerative capabilities after nerve injury and activate common pathways but also specific ones, indicating a different intrinsic growth response among them.
