    SARS-CoV-2 uses CD4 to infect T helper lymphocytes

    Natalia S Brunetti, Gustavo G Davanzo ... Alessandro S Farias
    The infection of T helper lymphocytes by SARS-CoV-2, mediated via the CD4 molecule, alters cellular function and enhances expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, potentially impairing immune response in individuals with COVID-19.

    Generating variability from motor primitives during infant locomotor development

    Elodie Hinnekens, Marianne Barbu-Roth ... Caroline Teulier
    Human infants can use various muscle activations as soon as birth to produce rhythmic leg movements, but the strategy underlying this variable output seems to change between the first months of life and toddlerhood.

    Heterogeneous non-canonical nucleosomes predominate in yeast cells in situ

    Zhi Yang Tan, Shujun Cai ... Lu Gan
    Nucleosomes inside of baker’s yeast cells largely do not resemble those found in test tubes.

    Embryo-derive TNF promotes decidualization via fibroblast activation

    Si-Ting Chen, Wen-Wen Shi ... Zeng-Ming Yang
    Embryo-derived TNF promotes CPLA phosphorylation and arachidonic acid release from luminal epithelium to induce fibroblast activation and decidualization.

    Succinate mediates inflammation-induced adrenocortical dysfunction

    Ivona Mateska, Anke Witt ... Vasileia Ismini Alexaki
    Inflammation reprograms the citrate cycle in adrenocortical cells leading to altered steroidogenesis.

    Integrative dynamic structural biology unveils conformers essential for the oligomerization of a large GTPase

    Thomas-O Peulen, Carola S Hengstenberg ... Christian Herrmann
    Multimodal spectroscopy (smFRET, EPR, SAXS, and SANS) and integrative structural modeling reveal large-scale domain rearrangements in human guanylate binding protein 1 (hGBP1) that are driving forces for the formation of oligomers that enable its biological function in innate immune defense.

    Gαq-PKD/PKCμ signal regulating the nuclear export of HDAC5 to induce the IκB expression and limit the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response essential for early pregnancy

    Yufei Jiang, Yan He ... Guixiu Shi
    Gαq stimulates HDAC5 phosphorylation by PKC-independent PKD/PKCμ activation to induce the IκB expression and limit the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response which essential for proper endometrial decidualization and early pregnancy.

    Eleven key measures for monitoring general practice clinical activity during COVID-19: A retrospective cohort study using 48 million adults’ primary care records in England through OpenSAFELY

    Louis Fisher, Helen J Curtis ... Ben Goldacre
    There was substantial change in primary care activity following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2019 as indicated by key measures reflective of clinical activity in general practice but service was largely restored by April 2021.

    Native American genetic ancestry and pigmentation allele contributions to skin color in a Caribbean population

    Khai C Ang, Victor A Canfield ... Keith C Cheng
    Analysis of 458 Kalinago provides new insights into the population's genetic structure, the contribution of Native American ancestry to skin pigmentation, and the identification of a coding variant in OCA2 with an estimated –8 melanin units effect size.
    1. Neuroscience

    Cerebral chemoarchitecture shares organizational traits with brain structure and function

    Benjamin Hänisch, Justine Y Hansen ... Sofie Louise Valk
    Dimensionality reduction techniques reveal how the organization of neurotransmitter receptor and transporter co-expression in the human brain may bridge the gap between brain structure and function.
