    Rapid and precise genome engineering in a naturally short-lived vertebrate

    Claire N Bedbrook, Ravi D Nath ... Anne Brunet
    Rapid and efficient CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-in of fluorescent reporters at various genomic loci enables cell- and tissue-specific expression and establishes the short-lived African killifish as a vertebrate system for precise genetic engineering at scale.

    linc-mipep and linc-wrb encode micropeptides that regulate chromatin accessibility in vertebrate-specific neural cells

    Valerie A Tornini, Liyun Miao ... Antonio J Giraldez
    Two putative long noncoding RNAs in zebrafish encode micropeptides with homology to the vertebrate-specific chromatin architectural protein, Hmgn1, which are required for development of vertebrate-specific brain cell types.
    1. Epidemiology and Global Health

    Quantification of impact of COVID-19 pandemic on cancer screening programmes – a case study from Argentina, Bangladesh, Colombia, Morocco, Sri Lanka, and Thailand

    Eric Lucas, Raul Murillo ... Partha Basu
    Well-coordinated, decisive, and collective actions remain critical to make screening programmes more equitable and resilient in the face of natural and geo-political calamities.
    1. Immunology and Inflammation

    Homeostatic activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor by dietary ligands dampens cutaneous allergic responses by controlling Langerhans cells migration

    Adeline Cros, Alba De Juan ... Elodie Segura
    Lack of aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands in the diet of mice increases the inflammatory state in their epidermis, making cutaneous allergic reactions more severe and airway allergy more pronounced after skin sensitization.

    ‘Skeletal Age’ for mapping the impact of fracture on mortality

    Thach Tran, Thao Ho-Le ... Tuan V Nguyen
    The lifespan of individuals who suffer from an osteoporotic fracture is reduced by between 1 and 7 years, depending on the location of the fracture and their risk profile, suggesting that their 'Skeletal Age' is higher than their chronological age.

    High-resolution structures with bound Mn2+ and Cd2+ map the metal import pathway in an Nramp transporter

    Shamayeeta Ray, Samuel P Berry ... Rachelle Gaudet
    Structures of a transition metal transporter spanning the entire Mn2+ transport cycle reveal distinct coordination geometries and dynamic polar networks that enable Mn2+ import, and a Cd2+-bound structure helps explain how Cd2+ behaves differently as a substrate.

    The carboxyl-terminal sequence of PUMA binds to both anti-apoptotic proteins and membranes

    James M Pemberton, Dang Nguyen ... David W Andrews
    A second anti-apoptotic protein binding site in PUMA confers resistance to BH3 mimetic drugs and binds the protein to membranes.

    Empagliflozin reduces podocyte lipotoxicity in experimental Alport syndrome

    Mengyuan Ge, Judith Molina ... Alessia Fornoni
    SGLT2 inhibitors reduce podocyte lipotoxicity and improve kidney function in experimental Alport syndrome through a mechanism that involves a switch from the utilization of glucose to fatty acids as an energy substrate in podocytes.

    Macrophages regulate gastrointestinal motility through complement component 1q

    Mihir Pendse, Haley De Selle ... Lora V Hooper
    Gut macrophages produce complement component C1q, which modulates neurogenic activity of gut peristalsis and is thus a key regulator of gastrointestinal motility.

    Transcriptome network analysis implicates CX3CR1-positive type 3 dendritic cells in non-infectious uveitis

    Sanne Hiddingh, Aridaman Pandit ... Jonas JW Kuiper
    CX3CR1-positive dendritic cells are altered in patients with non-infectious uveitis.
