    Reconstructing the transport cycle in the sugar porter superfamily using coevolution-powered machine learning

    Darko Mitrovic, Sarah E McComas ... Lucie Delemotte
    Using state-specific contacts inferred from coevolving residue pairs enables us to build models of the various conformational states along the sugar porter functional cycle and reconstruct the free-energy landscape of the process.

    Presenting a sham treatment as personalised increases the placebo effect in a randomised controlled trial

    Dasha A Sandra, Jay A Olson ... Mathieu Roy
    A laboratory experiment provides the first evidence that framing a sham treatment as personalised to one's genetics and physiology increases its placebo effect on pain.

    Determinants of sugar-induced influx in the mammalian fructose transporter GLUT5

    Sarah E McComas, Tom Reichenbach ... David Drew
    Computational approach shows that the occluded state in GLUT transporters is equivalent to the transition state of soluble enzymes and this has the highest affinity for the substrate sugar.

    Reciprocal discoidin domain receptor signaling strengthens integrin adhesion to connect adjacent tissues

    Kieop Park, Ranjay Jayadev ... David R Sherwood
    Type IV collagen plays a dual role in both structurally fastening tissues and signaling through the discoidin domain receptor 2 to synchronize an integrin adhesion that stabilizes tissue linkage.

    Biallelic variants in MAD2L1BP (p31comet) cause female infertility characterized by oocyte maturation arrest

    Lingli Huang, Wenqing Li ... Jianqiang Bao
    Biallelic MAD2L1BP variants contribute to oocyte metaphase I arrest in women with primary infertility and p31comet is required for human oocyte maturation.

    Systematic analysis of the molecular and biophysical properties of key DNA damage response factors

    Joshua R Heyza, Mariia Mikhova ... Jens C Schmidt
    Live-cell single-molecule imaging of DNA repair factors can be used to analyze their localization to DNA lesions and dissect the hierarchy of their recruitment.

    Ketamine’s rapid antidepressant effects are mediated by Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors

    Anastasiya Zaytseva, Evelina Bouckova ... Seonil Kim
    Ketamine induces the expression of Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors to enhance synaptic glutamatergic and Ca2+ activity in neurons to cause rapid antidepressant effects.

    Resolving the origins of secretory products and anthelmintic responses in a human parasitic nematode at single-cell resolution

    Clair R Henthorn, Paul M Airs ... Mostafa Zamanian
    A single-cell gene expression atlas in a human parasitic nematode provides new insights into the distribution of anthelmintic targets and the origins of secretory molecules with diagnostic and therapeutic potential at the host–parasite interface.

    A genetic and linguistic analysis of the admixture histories of the islands of Cabo Verde

    Romain Laurent, Zachary A Szpiech ... Paul Verdu
    The complex histories of social relationships between enslaved and non-enslaved communities and their descendants during and after the Trans-Atlantic Slave-Trade shaped the detailed genetic and linguistic histories of admixture of the islands of Cabo Verde.
