In healthy volunteers, negative expectations exert stronger and longer-lasting effects on pain than positive expectations, consistent with a better-safe-than-sorry account of placebo and nocebo effects.
An RNAi based genetic screen and subsequent analyses reveal how dyneins and small GTPases coordinate autophagosome positioning at the ncMTOC in fat cells, advancing understanding of autophagic vesicle transport.
Intermolecular steric repulsion generated by glycans on the cell membrane inhibits viral infection by preventing the formation of a virus-cell interface, regardless of the identity of molecules for glycan modification.

Novel and published data confirm that cartilaginous fishes (chondrichthyans) from many different clades share interesting skeletal features that are similar to bone, but some 'classic' chondrichthyan features are not shared.
Single-cell transcriptome sequencing results of rats intervened with specific mode electroacupuncture (an emerging method for opening the blood-brain barrier).
