    Cell-autonomous role of leucine-rich repeat kinase in the protection of dopaminergic neuron survival

    Jongkyun Kang, Guodong Huang ... Jie Shen
    LRRK plays an essential, cell-intrinsic role in the protection of dopaminergic neurons during aging, and new genetic findings suggest that LRRK2 mutations may impair its function, leading to dopaminergic neurodegeneration in PD.

    Secreted antigen A peptidoglycan hydrolase is essential for Enterococcus faecium cell separation and priming of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy

    Steven Klupt, Kyong Tkhe Fam ... Howard C Hang
    The peptidoglycan hydrolase activity of Enterococcus faecium secreted antigen A is crucial for cell wall remodeling during bacterial cell separation and generates muropeptides that stimulate host immunity to enhance immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-cancer therapy.

    Post-meiotic mechanism of facultative parthenogenesis in gonochoristic whiptail lizard species

    David V Ho, Duncan Tormey ... Peter Baumann
    Facultative parthenogenesis in whiptail lizards produces genome-wide homozygosity in offspring.

    Rule-based modulation of a sensorimotor transformation across cortical areas

    Yi-Ting Chang, Eric A Finkel ... Daniel H O'Connor
    Preparatory states within the motor cortex play a critical role in selecting an appropriate action in response to sensory input, dependent on the context.

    Scaling between cell cycle duration and wing growth is regulated by Fat-Dachsous signaling in Drosophila

    Andrew Liu, Jessica O’Connell ... Richard W Carthew
    Two atypical cadherins regulate organ growth by tuning the coupling of cell cycle duration to organ size.

    A parameterized two-domain thermodynamic model explains diverse mutational effects on protein allostery

    Zhuang Liu, Thomas G Gillis ... Qiang Cui
    A combined theoretical and experimental study revealed the mechanistic and structural basis of mutational effects on allostery and provided insights into the intrinsic connection of intra- and inter-domain properties.

    Partitioning to ordered membrane domains regulates the kinetics of secretory traffic

    Ivan Castello-Serrano, Frederick A Heberle ... Ilya Levental
    Direct measurements of trafficking kinetics between organelles of the secretory pathway suggest that lipid-driven membrane domains laterally sort proteins during membrane traffic.

    G protein subunit Gγ13-mediated signaling pathway is critical to the inflammation resolution and functional recovery of severely injured lungs

    Yi-Hong Li, Yi-Sen Yang ... Liquan Huang
    Conditional abolishment of a G protein subunit in a subset of ectopic tuft cells engenders severer injury, slower recovery, and increased fatality following the infection of the influenza viruses.
