    Heterotypic interfacial tension between oncogenic and wild-type populations forms the mechanical basis of tissue-specific oncogenesis in epithelia

    Amrapali Datta, Phanindra Dewan ... Medhavi Vishwakarma
    Mechanical interactions at the interface of mutant and wild-type cell populations govern tissue-specific responses to oncogenic transformation in epithelia, causing mutants to be extruded, spatially restrained, or undergo persistent expansion.

    Nanoscopy reveals heparan sulfate clusters as docking sites for SARS-CoV-2 attachment and entry

    Sue Han, Xin Wang ... Ling-Gang Wu
    Cell-surface heparan sulfate clusters, not the generally assumed ACE2, mediate SARS-CoV-2 attachment and endocytic entry, fundamentally revising the viral entry paradigm and establishing heparan sulfate as a primary therapeutic target.
    1. Neuroscience

    Brainstem neurons coordinate the bladder and urethral sphincter for urination

    Xing Li, Xianping Li ... Jiwei Yao
    Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1)-positive neurons in the pontine micturition center govern detrusor–sphincter coordination via three distinct spinal projections, representing a therapeutic target for detrusor–sphincter dyssynergia and associated voiding dysfunction.

    LRRK2 regulates synaptic function through modulation of actin cytoskeletal dynamics

    Giulia Tombesi, Shiva Kompella ... Elisa Greggio
    LRRK2 couples brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling to synaptic actin remodeling, defining a novel mechanism of LRRK2 synaptic function and highlighting early, targetable pathways in Parkinson’s disease.
