    σ28-dependent small RNA regulation of flagella biosynthesis

    Sahar Melamed, Aixia Zhang ... Gisela Storz
    σ28-Dependent sRNAs fine-tune flagella synthesis, with one sRNA connecting synthesis with metabolism and two sRNAs with opposing effects connecting synthesis with ribosomal protein production through unique binding within coding sequences.

    Deciphering neuronal deficit and protein profile changes in human brain organoids from patients with creatine transporter deficiency

    Léa Broca-Brisson, Rania Harati ... Aloïse Mabondzo
    Proteomic analysis of brain organoids from creatine transporter deficiency (CTD) patients enhance the understanding of CTD offering potential therapeutic targets and a robust foundation for continued research in the field.

    Single-nuclei characterization of pervasive transcriptional signatures across organs in response to COVID-19

    The COVID Tissue Atlas Consortium, Alejandro A Granados ... Bruce Wang
    A conserved transcriptional signature in macrophages and endothelial cells occurs in multiple organs in response to COVID-19 and suggests potential molecular interactions between the two cell types.

    Adolescent neurostimulation of dopamine circuit reverses genetic deficits in frontal cortex function

    Surjeet Mastwal, Xinjian Li ... Kuan Hong Wang
    Frontal cortical circuit alterations and cognitive deficits identified in mouse genetic models are reversed by chemogenetic or optogenetic stimulation of the mesocortical dopamine circuit in an adolescent period.

    Chromatin and gene expression changes during female Drosophila germline stem cell development illuminate the biology of highly potent stem cells

    Liang-Yu Pang, Steven DeLuca ... Allan C Spradling
    Chromatin changes downstream from Drosophila germline stem cells and fertilized zygotes alter how transposable element activity and gene expression are controlled to facilitate differentiation.

    Hybridization led to a rewired pluripotency network in the allotetraploid Xenopus laevis

    Wesley A Phelps, Matthew D Hurton ... Miler T Lee
    Xenopus laevis arose from hybridization of two different frog species millions of years ago, leading to adaptation of the genetic networks controlling early embryonic development and stem cell induction to balance expression between the genes inherited from each ancestor.

    Erythrocyte invasion-neutralising antibodies prevent Plasmodium falciparum RH5 from binding to basigin-containing membrane protein complexes

    Abhishek Jamwal, Cristina F Constantin ... Matthew K Higgins
    The most effective growth-neutralising antibodies which target the PfRH5 protein from a malaria parasite function by preventing the parasite from binding to basigin-containing membrane protein complexes on human erythrocytes.

    Estimating the true stability of the prehydrolytic outward-facing state in an ABC protein

    Márton A Simon, Iordan Iordanov ... László Csanády
    Functional studies on CFTR anion channels harboring combinations of catalytic site mutations in the active ATPase site reveal the true stability of the prehydrolytic open-pore state as well as nucleotide-binding domain interface features that are unique to human CFTR.

    A mechanosensing mechanism controls plasma membrane shape homeostasis at the nanoscale

    Xarxa Quiroga, Nikhil Walani ... Pere Roca-Cusachs
    Cell stretch release generates plasma membrane (PM) evaginations of ≈100 nm, triggering a local event of actin polymerization that flattens and recovers PM shape.

    A rapid review of COVID-19’s global impact on breast cancer screening participation rates and volumes from January to December 2020

    Reagan Lee, Wei Xu ... Jonine Figueroa
    A reduction in breast screening participation volume during COVID-19 that differed by region and healthcare setting was observed in a rapid review of 26 studies globally, suggesting monitoring of screening access by disadvantaged groups to reduce disparities.
