    TAK1-mediated phosphorylation of PLCE1 represses PIP2 hydrolysis to impede esophageal squamous cancer metastasis

    Qianqian Ju, Wenjing Sheng ... Cheng Sun
    TAK1 plays a negative role in esophageal squamous cancer cell metastasis, which depends on the TAK1-induced phosphorylation of PLCE1 at S1060 and subsequent inhibition of PIP2 hydrolysis.

    Simply crushed zizyphi spinosi semen prevents neurodegenerative diseases and reverses age-related cognitive decline in mice

    Tomohiro Umeda, Ayumi Sakai ... Takami Tomiyama
    Simply crushed zizyphi spinosi semen not only ameliorates Aβ, tau, and α-synuclein pathology in dementia model mice, but also rejuvenates brain function by suppressing cellular senescence in normal aged mice.

    APP β-CTF triggers cell-autonomous synaptic toxicity independent of Aβ

    Menguxn Luo, Jia Zhou ... Yelin Chen
    β-CTF of APP, not Aβ, induces synaptic loss in a cell-autonomous manner, revealing APP misregulation may contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease via an Aβ-independent mechanism.

    Simultaneous polyclonal antibody sequencing and epitope mapping by cryo electron microscopy and mass spectrometry

    Douwe Schulte, Marta Šiborová ... Joost Snijder
    Germline V-gene usage can be inferred from cryoEM reconstructions of antigen-antibody complexes to guide de novo antibody sequencing of complex mixtures by mass spectrometry.

    SFSWAP is a negative regulator of OGT intron detention and global pre-mRNA splicing

    Ashwin Govindan, Nicholas K Conrad
    SFSWAP was identified in a genetic screen to negatively regulate splicing of OGT and other mRNAs primarily by regulating intron retention and exon skipping.

    Elevated pyramidal cell firing orchestrates arteriolar vasoconstriction through COX-2-derived prostaglandin E2 signaling

    Benjamin Le Gac, Marine Tournissac ... Bruno Cauli
    Increased neuronal activity of cortical pyramidal cells can paradoxically reduce cerebral blood flow via vasoconstriction mediated by glutamate and lipid messengers.

    Teichoic acids in the periplasm and cell envelope of Streptococcus pneumoniae

    Mai Nguyen, Elda Bauda ... Cecile Morlot
    The thickness of the periplasmic region is reduced in strains of pneumococcus that are deleted in genes responsible for the incorporation of teichoic acid in the cell envelope.
