Lipid binding stabilizes the SARS-CoV-2 Orf9b homodimer, slowing its conversion to the Tom70-binding monomeric form and modulating interferon suppression.

Sex-biased gene expression in the body organs evolves rapidly, supporting a mosaic model of maleness and femaleness across tissues and thus challenging binary views of sex characteristics in mammals.

KIF7 loss of function affects several developmental stages of the cerebral cortex and likely causes neurodevelopmental delay, intellectual disability, and epilepsia observed in ciliopathic patients with KIF7 mutations.

Combining computer modeling and experiments in animals shows that the spatial organization of thymic epithelial cells affects the availability of signaling molecules that regulate thymocyte proliferation and development.

Diverse magnetotactic bacteria are adapted to the local geomagnetic field and grain size to maximize their swimming speed through the pore space.

Sleep is essential for consolidating implicitly acquired perceptual knowledge that enables the knowledge transfer effect via newly learned structured information observed in prior studies of explicit learning.

Deleting SfPat prophage reduces Shewanella fidelis motility, increases biofilms, changes pdeB expression and spatial retention in Ciona gut, while Ciona VCBP-C binding to the WT strain results in reduced expression of viral capsid proteins without inducing SOS, indicating tripartite interactions.

Mathematical modeling uncovers how initial and target compositions limit microbial community selection, as inter-community selection clashes with intra-community selection like a rafter battling a waterfall.

Genetic and biochemical studies show that SETD2 is tumor suppressive in a lung cancer mouse model and SETD2 methylation activity in vitro is regulated by histone acetylation.

Uptake of cell-free chromatin particles released from dying cells and carrying non-coding DNA could redefine mammalian genomics.
