    A survey of optimal strategy for signature-based drug repositioning and an application to liver cancer

    Chen Yang, Hailin Zhang ... Hui Wang
    Computational and experimental analyses show that homoharringtonine may be repurposed as an agent for the treatment and prevention of liver cancer.

    Hypertrophic chondrocytes serve as a reservoir for marrow-associated skeletal stem and progenitor cells, osteoblasts, and adipocytes during skeletal development

    Jason T Long, Abigail Leinroth ... Matthew J Hilton
    Hypertrophic chondrocytes of the growth plate undergo a process of dedifferentiation to generate marrow associated skeletal stem and progenitor cells (SSPCs), which ultimately re-differentiate into cells of the osteoblast or adipocyte lineages during skeletal development.

    SWI/SNF senses carbon starvation with a pH-sensitive low-complexity sequence

    J Ignacio Gutierrez, Gregory P Brittingham ... Liam J Holt
    A combination of single-cell analysis, genomics, and simulations shows that a glutamine-rich low-complexity sequence in the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex senses transient intracellular acidification as a signal for cells to switch their global transcriptional program.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    An estimate of the deepest branches of the tree of life from ancient vertically evolving genes

    Edmund RR Moody, Tara A Mahendrarajah ... Tom A Williams
    Relatively few genes have evolved vertically from the last universal common ancestor to modern prokaryotes, and phylogenetic analysis of these genes demonstrates a great genetic distance between Archaea and Bacteria.
    1. Plant Biology

    A guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) mediated brake on photosynthesis is required for acclimation to nitrogen limitation in Arabidopsis

    Shanna Romand, Hela Abdelkefi ... Ben Field
    Guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) is a pivotal regulator of chloroplast activity that is required for acclimation to nitrogen limitation in the model plant Arabidopsis.

    Host casein kinase 1-mediated phosphorylation modulates phase separation of a rhabdovirus phosphoprotein and virus infection

    Xiao-Dong Fang, Qiang Gao ... Xian-Bing Wang
    Liquid-liquid phase separation of a rhabovirus phosphoprotein initiates viral factory formation of barley yellow striate mosaic virus, a plant negative-sense RNA virus, and host casein kinase 1-mediated phosphorylation inhibits phase separation and virus infection.

    Pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase and low abundant ferredoxins support aerobic photomixotrophic growth in cyanobacteria

    Yingying Wang, Xi Chen ... Kirstin Gutekunst
    Synechocystis switches its redox pools under reducing photomixotrophic conditions from utilizing NAD(H)- to ferredoxin-dependent enzymes and thereby balances its metabolism in a trade-off between energy conservation and chemical driving forces.

    Chromatin topology defines estradiol-primed progesterone receptor and PAX2 binding in endometrial cancer cells

    Alejandro La Greca, Nicolás Bellora ... Patricia Saragüeta
    Binding of progesterone receptor and transcription factor PAX2 to pre-assembled permissive chromatin compartments regulates endometrial cancer gene expression under estrogenic conditions.

    Comprehensive characterization of the antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein finds additional vaccine-induced epitopes beyond those for mild infection

    Meghan E Garrett, Jared G Galloway ... Julie M Overbaugh
    Sera from vaccinated subjects bound additional linear epitopes compared to sera from individuals with mild infection, in addition the pathways of escape from antibodies from vaccination were more uniform than those from mildly infected individuals.

    Transcriptional heterogeneity of ventricular zone cells in the ganglionic eminences of the mouse forebrain

    Dongjin R Lee, Christopher Rhodes ... Timothy J Petros
    Single-cell sequencing combined with in situ hybridizations reveal dynamic patterns of differentially expressed genes throughout the ventricular and subventricular zone of the embryonic mouse brain, which likely play important roles in cell fate determination.
