    Nuclear SUN1 stabilizes endothelial cell junctions via microtubules to regulate blood vessel formation

    Danielle B Buglak, Pauline Bougaran ... Victoria L Bautch
    The nuclear membrane protein SUN1 stabilizes endothelial cell-cell junctions far from the nucleus via regulation of microtubule dynamics and Rho GEF-H1 signaling, revealing long-range cellular communication important for vascular development and function.

    Structural insight into the stabilization of microtubules by taxanes

    Andrea E Prota, Daniel Lucena-Agell ... J Fernando Díaz
    Crystal structures of taxane-tubulin complexes allow the understanding of the interaction of paclitaxel (Taxol) with its cellular target in atomic detail and assess the structural determinants for binding.

    Cryo-EM structures of an LRRC8 chimera with native functional properties reveal heptameric assembly

    Hirohide Takahashi, Toshiki Yamada ... Erkan Karakas
    The cryo-electron microscopy structures of an LRRC8C chimera with native channel properties reveal the diverse oligomeric assembly and suggest that lipids may play a role in gating in volume-regulated anion channels.

    A lncRNA identifies Irf8 enhancer element in negative feedback control of dendritic cell differentiation

    Huaming Xu, Zhijian Li ... Martin Zenke
    A novel lncRNA marks the Irf8 downstream enhancer that is crucial for differentiation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) and classical dendritic cells type 1 (cDC1) and confers feedback inhibition of Irf8 transcription.

    Defects in lipid homeostasis reflect the function of TANGO2 in phospholipid and neutral lipid metabolism

    Agustin Leonardo Lujan, Ombretta Foresti ... Vivek Malhotra
    TANGO2 emerges as a key regulator of fatty acid metabolism by likely affecting acyl-CoA production and utilization.

    Transferred mitochondria accumulate reactive oxygen species, promoting proliferation

    Chelsea U Kidwell, Joseph R Casalini ... Minna Roh-Johnson
    Transferred mitochondria do not always regulate cell behavior by simply restoring mitochondrial function, but rather, transferred mitochondria are dysfunctional, initiating downstream signaling and proliferation in response to reactive oxygen species.

    Cell circuits between leukemic cells and mesenchymal stem cells block lymphopoiesis by activating lymphotoxin beta receptor signaling

    Xing Feng, Ruifeng Sun ... Joao Pedro Pereira
    Acute lymphoblastic and myeloblastic leukemias activate lymphotoxin beta receptor in mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow to turn off interleukin-7 production and lymphopoiesis and gain competitive advantage.

    Associations of ABO and Rhesus D blood groups with phenome-wide disease incidence: A 41-year retrospective cohort study of 482,914 patients

    Peter Bruun-Rasmussen, Morten Hanefeld Dziegiel ... Søren Brunak
    The ABO and RhD blood groups are associated with disease-wide susceptibility differences.

    Targeting oncogenic KRasG13C with nucleotide-based covalent inhibitors

    Lisa Goebel, Tonia Kirschner ... Daniel Rauh
    The important oncogene KRasG13C can be targeted by covalently binding nucleotide-analogues, resulting in a locked protein that can no longer induce oncogenic signaling.
