    β-Catenin-NF-κB-CFTR interactions in cholangiocytes regulate inflammation and fibrosis during ductular reaction

    Shikai Hu, Jacquelyn O Russell ... Satdarshan P Monga
    Ductular reaction often observed in chronic liver pathologies such as in cystic fibrosis could be due to disruption of a novel complex of β-catenin-NF-κB and CFTR in cholangiocytes, which leads to persistent nuclear translocation of p65 and NF-κB activation.

    Genetically engineered mice for combinatorial cardiovascular optobiology

    Frank K Lee, Jane C Lee ... Michael I Kotlikoff
    A unique toolbox of novel mouse lines expressing optical effectors and sensors in cardiovascular, smooth muscle, and additional lineages allows extensive in vivo and ex vivo analysis of complex biological systems.

    Piezo1 ion channels inherently function as independent mechanotransducers

    Amanda H Lewis, Jörg Grandl
    Mechanically activated Piezo1 ion channels, at physiologically relevant densities, behave as independent mechanotransducers, which we propose is essential for homogenous transduction of forces across the entire cell membrane.

    Humans use forward thinking to exploit social controllability

    Soojung Na, Dongil Chung ... Xiaosi Gu
    People use vmPFC-dependent forward thinking to guide social choices and exploit the controllability of social environments, expanding the role of this neurocomputational mechanism beyond spatial and cognitive mapping.

    Fibrinogen αC-subregions critically contribute blood clot fibre growth, mechanical stability, and resistance to fibrinolysis

    Helen R McPherson, Cedric Duval ... Robert AS Ariëns
    Fibrinogen, a key protein involved in blood coagulation, contains a disordered and previously poorly characterised region called αC that plays a critical role in fibrin fibre growth and clot stability.

    A pre-screening strategy to assess resected tumor margins by imaging cytoplasmic viscosity and hypoxia

    Hui Huang, Youpei Lin ... Weijia Zhang
    A fluorescence-based pre-screening strategy allows high-throughput, convenient, and fast gross assessment of resected tumor margins by imaging cytoplasmic viscosity and hypoxia.

    A functional genetic toolbox for human tissue-derived organoids

    Dawei Sun, Lewis Evans ... Emma L Rawlins
    To facilitate human developmental biology research, CRISPR-mediated homologous recombination, tightly inducible gene knockdowns (CRISPRi) and overexpression (CRISPRa) have been efficiently applied to human organoids.

    USP28 deletion and small-molecule inhibition destabilizes c-MYC and elicits regression of squamous cell lung carcinoma

    E Josue Ruiz, Adan Pinto-Fernandez ... Axel Behrens
    Deletion and small-molecule inhibition of ubiquitin-specific protease 28 destabilizes the oncogenes c-MYC, c-JUN, and Δp63, and elicits regression of squamous cell lung carcinoma, a major cancer type with currently limited treatment options.

    Cell and circuit origins of fast network oscillations in the mammalian main olfactory bulb

    Shawn D Burton, Nathaniel N Urban
    Fast network oscillations in the mammalian main olfactory bulb emerge from the dense synchronization of gamma-frequency firing among resonant tufted cells.

    IRAK1-dependent Regnase-1-14-3-3 complex formation controls Regnase-1-mediated mRNA decay

    Kotaro Akaki, Kosuke Ogata ... Osamu Takeuchi
    Regnase-1, an RNase suppressing proinflammatory mRNAs, interacts with 14-3-3, which diminishes cytokine mRNA recognition and the nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of Regnase-1 under inflammatory conditions.
