    A mathematical model for ketosis-prone diabetes suggests the existence of multiple pancreatic β-cell inactivation mechanisms

    Sean A Ridout, Priyathama Vellanki, Ilya Nemenman
    A simple mathematical model, incorporating reversible deactivation of β-cells, can potentially explain the rapid onset and remission of a diabetes subtype, ketosis-prone diabetes.

    Opposing regulation of TNF responses by IFN-γ and a PGE2-cAMP axis that is apparent in rheumatoid and immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced arthritis human IL-1β+ macrophages

    Upneet K Sokhi, Ruoxi Yuan ... Lionel B Ivashkiv
    Interferon-γ and prostaglandin E2 signaling oppose each other to determine the balance between two distinct TNF-induced inflammatory gene expression programs relevant for rheumatoid and immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced arthritis.

    Human formin FHOD3-mediated actin elongation is required for sarcomere integrity in cardiomyocytes

    Dylan A Valencia, Angela N Koeberlein ... Margot E Quinlan
    Complementary biochemical and cell-biological approaches reveal that formin FHOD3-mediated actin elongation, rather than nucleation, is critical for maintaining cardiomyocyte sarcomeres.

    PRDM16 functions as a co-repressor in the BMP pathway to suppress neural stem cell proliferation

    Li He, Jiayu Wen, Qi Dai
    PRDM16 directs BMP signaling outcomes by guiding SMAD complex genomic binding to repress neural stem cell proliferation and promote choroid plexus epithelial specification.

    S100a4+ alveolar macrophages accelerate the progression of precancerous atypical adenomatous hyperplasia by promoting the angiogenic function regulated by fatty acid metabolism

    Hong Huang, Ying Yang ... Le Zhang
    S100a4+ alveolar macrophages facilitate angiogenesis through CPT1A-PPAR-γ-mediated fatty acid metabolism, thereby triggering atypical adenomatous hyperplasia.
