Using Xcr1Cre-Gfp Rosa26LSL-DTA Apoe–/– model and Xcl1–/– Apoe–/– mouse model reveal an essential non-redundant role for the XCL1-XCR1 axis in cDC1-mediated atherogenesis.
Inhibition of the UFD-1-NPL-4 complex activates immune responses in Caenorhabditis elegans that reduce gut pathogen load but simultaneously compromise host survival.
The flexible stalk region of sTREM2 binds the Ig-like domain, altering stability and ligand accessibility—a biochemically testable mechanism with broad implications for (s)TREM2 biology and rational Alzheimer's disease therapeutic design.

C. elegans foraging decisions are guided by learned environmental features, integrating recent patch quality with internal satiety to balance exploration and exploitation.
Primate cross-species analysis of interactions between transposable elements and KRAB-ZNF genes with the new TEKRABber tool highlights human-specific interactions with potential relevance to Alzheimer’s disease.
For the first time, a function for the second messenger molecule, cyclic di-AMP, in Chlamydia has been described, revealing its role in regulating chlamydial developmental cycle progression.
