    Age-related differences in the functional topography of the locus coeruleus and their implications for cognitive and affective functions

    Dániel Veréb, Mite Mijalkov ... Joana B Pereira
    A gradient-based approach is employed to characterize the organization of functional connectivity in the human locus coeruleus, revealing age-related differences and associations with cognitive and affective functions independently from age.

    Isoform-specific disruption of the TP73 gene reveals a critical role for TAp73γ in tumorigenesis via leptin

    Xiangmudong Kong, Wensheng Yan ... Xinbin Chen
    Mouse model reveals that TAp73γ functions as an oncogene to promote tumorigenesis and alter lipid metabolism by modulating leptin expression.

    The negative adipogenesis regulator Dlk1 is transcriptionally regulated by Ifrd1 (TIS7) and translationally by its orthologue Ifrd2 (SKMc15)

    Ilja Vietor, Domagoj Cikes ... Lukas A Huber
    Ifrd1 and Ifrd2 were identified using knockout mice as new molecular players regulating via two discrete mechanisms the activity of the transcriptional regulator Dlk1 and thereby affecting adipocyte differentiation.

    CaMKII autophosphorylation can occur between holoenzymes without subunit exchange

    Iva Lučić, Léonie Héluin ... Andrew JR Plested
    CaMKII is capable of spreading activity between holoenzymes without exchanging subunits.

    Imprinted Dlk1 dosage as a size determinant of the mammalian pituitary gland

    Valeria Scagliotti, Maria Lillina Vignola ... Marika Charalambous
    Pituitary gland size and stem cell number is modulated during early life in the mouse by the imprinted gene Dlk1, which acts in multiple developmental compartments in a dosage-sensitive manner.

    A local ATR-dependent checkpoint pathway is activated by a site-specific replication fork block in human cells

    Sana Ahmed-Seghir, Manisha Jalan ... Simon N Powell
    Cells exhibit a localized ATR-dependent DNA damage response to a site-specific stalled replication fork that is distinct from that observed after global replication stress.

    CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells induce oral lichen planus erosion via cytokine network

    Maofeng Qing, Dan Yang ... Qianming Chen
    CD8+ Trm cells' erosion role in oral lichen planus via IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL17 cytokines has been revealed, addressing a gap in recurrent erosion studies.

    Monkeys exhibit human-like gaze biases in economic decisions

    Shira M Lupkin, Vincent B McGinty
    A novel animal model of economic decision-making captures complex patterns of choice behavior similar to those of humans, opening the way for mechanistic studies to probe the neural basis for this important form of executive function.

    TLR7 activation at epithelial barriers promotes emergency myelopoiesis and lung antiviral immunity

    William D Jackson, Chiara Giacomassi ... Marina Botto
    A novel pathway of emergency myelopoiesis is induced by repetitive virus stimulation at peripheral barrier sites which bypasses the requirement of conventional pathways and expands myeloid infiltration in tissues.

    The natural tannins oligomeric proanthocyanidins and punicalagin are potent inhibitors of infection by SARS-CoV-2

    Hsiao-Fan Chen, Wei-Jan Wang ... Mien-Chie Hung
    Two natural tannins, oligomeric proanthocyanidins and punicalagin, acted as potent inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 infection, and grape seed extract supplementation could serve as a healthy food for infection prevention.
