    N-WASP-dependent branched actin polymerization attenuates B-cell receptor signaling by increasing the molecular density of receptor clusters

    Anshuman Bhanja, Margaret K Seeley-Fallen ... Wenxia Song
    B-cells generate inner actomyosin foci from lamellipodial actin networks to drive cell contraction on antigen-presenting surfaces, which causes signaling molecule disassociation from B-cell receptor clusters and signal attenuation.

    Endosomal dysfunction contributes to cerebellar deficits in spinocerebellar ataxia type 6

    Anna A Cook, Tsz Chui Sophia Leung ... Alanna Jean Watt
    Changes in the intracellular trafficking of key signaling molecules in endosomes lead to pathophysiology in a rare disease affecting the cerebellum.

    Cervical cancer screening improvements with self-sampling during the COVID-19 pandemic

    Miriam Elfström, Penelope Grace Gray, Joakim Dillner
    Improved cervical cancer prevention through greatly increased population coverage by use of self-sampling and HPV screening during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    How hibernation in frogs drives brain and reproductive evolution in opposite directions

    Wenbo Liao, Ying Jiang ... Stefan Lüpold
    Rumation of anurans covaried negatively with brain size but positively with reproductive investment, likely in response to brumation-dependent changes in the socio-ecological context and associated selection on different tissues.

    Cystatin F (Cst7) drives sex-dependent changes in microglia in an amyloid-driven model of Alzheimer’s disease

    Michael JD Daniels, Lucas Lefevre ... Barry W McColl
    Cst7, a gene coding for protein cystatin F, is expressed by microglia in neurodegenerative disease models and mediates sex-dependent effects on microglial endolysosomal function and disease pathology.

    Phosphorylation bar-coding of free fatty acid receptor 2 is generated in a tissue-specific manner

    Natasja Barki, Laura Jenkins ... Graeme Milligan
    Differential agonist-induced phosphorylation of free fatty acid receptor 2 is shown in different tissues of transgenic mice engineered to express variant forms of the human ortholog of the receptor.

    Melanopsin activates divergent phototransduction pathways in intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell subtypes

    Ely Contreras, Jacob D Bhoi ... Tiffany M Schmidt
    Melanopsin phototransduction targets distinct complements of transduction channels across intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell subtypes and does not require hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels.

    Allelic strengths of encephalopathy-associated UBA5 variants correlate between in vivo and in vitro assays

    Xueyang Pan, Albert N Alvarez ... Hugo J Bellen
    A comprehensive platform is established for the evaluation of both current and future individuals afflicted with the UBA5-associated developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.

    A computationally informed comparison between the strategies of rodents and humans in visual object recognition

    Anna Elisabeth Schnell, Maarten Leemans ... Hans Op de Beeck
    Using a computational approach for designing object recognition tasks is beneficial to highlight the different strategies among different species.

    Ryanodine receptor 2 inhibition reduces dispersion of cardiac repolarization, improves contractile function, and prevents sudden arrhythmic death in failing hearts

    Pooja Joshi, Shanea Estes ... Swati Dey
    Inhibition of RyR2 hyperactivity with dantrolene not only prevents VT/VF and SCD but also heart failure by mitigating calcium dysfunction in pressure-overloaded hearts.
