Air pollution activates macrophage-derived artemin, sensitizing TRPA1 nociceptors to drive neutrophilic asthma, revealing new therapeutic targets for refractory airway inflammation.
Psilocin induces a durable neuroplastic state in human cortical neurons by enhancing BDNF signaling, neurite complexity, synaptogenesis, and synaptic network activity through 5-HT2A receptor-dependent mechanisms.
Rigorous analysis in two knockout mouse lines demonstrates that death receptor 6 is not required for axon degeneration or Schwann cell injury responses following peripheral nerve transection.

TIRF imaging of CRISPR-edited human cells shows dynein–dynactin complexes move processively with motility parameters consistent with the presence of multi-dynein assemblies (>one dynein heavy chain dimer per dynactin) in cells.

HIM-5 emerges as a central scaffold that coordinates SPO-11 accessory complexes to control different aspects of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks, ensuring robust crossover formation on autosomes and the X chromosome.
Uev1A and APC/C degrade CycA to counteract oncogenic Ras, thereby protecting against cell death in polyploid Drosophila nurse cells and suppressing overgrowth in diploid germline and human colorectal tumor cells.
A DNA origami nanospring introduces a force-sensing technology that enables measurement of motor protein stall forces without optical trapping, detecting force changes in kinesin KIF1A and its disease-related mutants.
