   Filamentation modulates allosteric regulation of PRPS

   Huan-Huan Hu et al.

   Cryo-EM structures of two types of prokaryotic Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase filaments reveal that filamentation into cytoophidia provides a new layer of metabolic regulation.

   Analysis of combinatorial chemokine receptor expression dynamics using multi-receptor reporter mice

   Laura Medina-Ruiz et al.

   The use of multi-chemokine receptor reporter mice helps to unravel the dynamics of receptor involvement in leukocyte migration in vivo and suggests specificity, rather than redundancy, in receptor use.

   Projected resurgence of COVID-19 in the United States in July—December 2021 resulting from the increased transmissibility of the Delta variant and faltering vaccination

   Shaun Truelove et al.

   Multi-model ensembling projected that the Delta variant would lead to a substantial COVID-19 resurgence in the US, with higher vaccination uptake being a critical factor for limiting transmission and impact between states.

   Cd59 and inflammation regulate Schwann cell development

   Ashtyn T Wiltbank et al.

   Cd59 and developmental inflammation are key players in myelinating glial cell development, highlighting the collaboration between glia and the innate immune system to ensure normal neural development.

   Structure-based electron-confurcation mechanism of the Ldh-EtfAB complex

   Kanwal Kayastha et al.

   The cryo-EM structural and functional analyses reveals the lactate dehydrogenase/electron-transferring flavoprotein (Ldh-EtfAB) in its enzymatically active form and the geometry of the confurcating flow of two energetically spitted electrons via 2 FAD and 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster to a central FAD.

   Tongue immune compartment analysis reveals spatial macrophage heterogeneity

   Ekaterini Maria Lyras et al.

   The tongue is a unique barrier organ, which is constantly exposed to environmental pathogens, and therefore is expected to host an immune cell network ensuring local immune defence, which we characterised during development, health, and disease.

    Oscillatory movement of a dynein-microtubule complex crosslinked with DNA origami

    Shimaa A Abdellatef et al.

    A pair of microtubules, ensembles of oppositely oriented axonemal dyneins, and inter-microtubule crosslinkers are the minimum components needed for oscillation and repetitive bending motions.
