    Common genetic variations in telomere length genes and lung cancer: a Mendelian randomisation study and its novel application in lung tumour transcriptome

    Ricardo Cortez Cardoso Penha, Karl Smith-Byrne ... James D Mckay
    A novel Mendelian randomisation framework unravels one gene expression component, correlated with proliferation and genome stability-related features, associated with telomere length in lung adenocarcinoma tumours, which provides insights into how telomere length influences the genetic basis of lung cancer aetiology.

    Pan-cancer association of DNA repair deficiencies with whole-genome mutational patterns

    Simon Grund Sørensen, Amruta Shrikhande ... Jakob Skou Pedersen
    Deficiencies of several DNA damage response genes can be predicted by their association with genome-wide mutation patterns.

    Tracing the path of 37,050 studies into practice across 18 specialties of the 2.4 million published between 2011 and 2020

    Moustafa Abdalla, Salwa Abdalla, Mohamed Abdalla
    Comprehensive decade-long analysis of point-of-care resources reveals insights into how clinical research makes its way into practice across different medical specialties and through time to enable us to identify potential translational bottlenecks in the pathway from research to practice.

    GABABR silencing of nerve terminals

    Daniel C Cook, Timothy A Ryan
    Single bouton measurements of calcium influx shows that activating GABAB receptors at nerve terminals can lead to complete inhibition of calcium entry when one is operating at the physiological setpoint of extracellular calcium concentration.

    Generative network modeling reveals quantitative definitions of bilateral symmetry exhibited by a whole insect brain connectome

    Benjamin D Pedigo, Mike Powell ... Joshua T Vogelstein
    Novel statistical tests to compare networks enable the evaluation of mathematical definitions of left/right symmetry in a larval Drosophila brain connectome.

    Columnar neurons support saccadic bar tracking in Drosophila

    Giovanni Frighetto, Mark A Frye
    Flies have two parallel visual pathways with specialized physiological properties to compensate for perturbations in their flight course and to saccade toward objects.

    Characterisation of the immune repertoire of a humanised transgenic mouse through immunophenotyping and high-throughput sequencing

    Eve Richardson, Špela Binter ... Simon J Watson
    A commonly used immunoglobulin loci-transgenic mouse, the Kymouse, has B cells that go through complete development and have receptor repertoires that show key differences in encoding gene frequencies but structural similarity in their most variable regions.

    AGS3 antagonizes LGN to balance oriented cell divisions and cell fate choices in mammalian epidermis

    Carlos P Descovich, Kendall J Lough ... Scott E Williams
    A proper balance of planar and perpendicular balances is critical to establishing proper epidermal architecture and is mediated by the opposing activities of LGN and its enigmatic paralog AGS3.

    Antigenic mapping and functional characterization of human New World hantavirus neutralizing antibodies

    Taylor B Engdahl, Elad Binshtein ... James E Crowe
    Human antibodies that neutralize New World hantaviruses are promising for prevention or treatment of these high-priority emerging pathogens carried by rodents and transmitted to humans by aerosolized excreta or, in rare cases, person-to-person contact.

    Structural and functional properties of a plant NRAMP-related aluminum transporter

    Karthik Ramanadane, Márton Liziczai ... Cristina Manatschal
    The structure of an NRAMP-related Al3+ transporter illustrates the evolution of a branch of a conserved protein family of metal ion transporters in plants to combat Al3+ toxicity in acidic soil.
