    Efficacy of ultra-short, response-guided sofosbuvir and daclatasvir therapy for hepatitis C in a single-arm mechanistic pilot study

    Barnaby Flower, Le Manh Hung ... Graham S Cooke
    Shortened hepatitis C therapy, with retreatment if needed, can reduce antiviral drug use in patients with mild liver disease, but day 2 viral load is not an adequate predictor of outcome.

    Improved ANAP incorporation and VCF analysis reveal details of P2X7 current facilitation and a limited conformational interplay between ATP binding and the intracellular ballast domain

    Anna Durner, Ellis Durner, Annette Nicke
    Comparision of current and fluorescent kinetics from P2X7 receptor mutants labeled with the fluorescent amino acid ANAP suggests that the characteristic P2X7 current facilitation involves changes in channel gating rather than interactions or conformational changes of its intracellular ballast domain.

    Genetic therapy in a mitochondrial disease model suggests a critical role for liver dysfunction in mortality

    Ankit Sabharwal, Mark D Wishman ... Stephen C Ekker
    A revertible Leigh Syndrome French Canadian Type (LSFC) disease model recapitulates the clinical phenotypes which can be rescued using a liver-specific genetic model therapy.

    The conserved centrosomin motif, γTuNA, forms a dimer that directly activates microtubule nucleation by the γ-tubulin ring complex (γTuRC)

    Michael J Rale, Brianna Romer ... Sabine Petry
    An evolutionarily conserved protein sequence present in diverse species like yeast, frogs, chickens, and humans binds a well-known template for microtubule nucleation, the gamma-tubulin ring complex, activating and enhancing its ability to nucleate microtubules, even under low tubulin concentrations.

    Single-cell profiling of lncRNAs in human germ cells and molecular analysis reveals transcriptional regulation of LNC1845 on LHX8

    Nan Wang, Jing He ... Kehkooi Kee
    The lncRNA landscapes in human germ cells are comprehensively profiled and the functional role of an lncRNA LNC1845 in regulating gene expression of a neighboring coding gene LHX8 is elucidated.

    Interdependent progression of bidirectional sister replisomes in E. coli

    Po Jui Chen, Anna B McMullin ... David Bates
    Physical association between sister replisomes early in the E. coli replication phase promotes rapid fork progression and inhibits fork stalling.

    Structure-based prediction of T cell receptor:peptide-MHC interactions

    Philip Bradley
    The AlphaFold protein structure prediction network can be specialized for T cell receptor docking, leading to improved models of ternary complexes and some ability to discriminate correct from incorrect peptide epitopes.

    Complex pattern of facial remapping in somatosensory cortex following congenital but not acquired hand loss

    Victoria Root, Dollyane Muret ... Tamar R Makin
    Both hand and face representations remain relatively stable after arm amputation in adulthood, with no link to phantom limb pain, whereas pre-natal limb loss triggers complex patterns of remapping that do not relate to cortical topography.

    Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of the zebrafish inner ear reveals molecularly distinct hair cell and supporting cell subtypes

    Tuo Shi, Marielle O Beaulieu ... David W Raible
    Single-cell transcriptomic analysis defines hair cell and supporting cell types in the zebrafish inner ear, and reveals homologies with cells in the mammalian ear.
