    A genetic and linguistic analysis of the admixture histories of the islands of Cabo Verde

    Romain Laurent, Zachary A Szpiech ... Paul Verdu
    The complex histories of social relationships between enslaved and non-enslaved communities and their descendants during and after the Trans-Atlantic Slave-Trade shaped the detailed genetic and linguistic histories of admixture of the islands of Cabo Verde.

    Prolonged T-cell activation and long COVID symptoms independently associate with severe COVID-19 at 3 months

    Marianna Santopaolo, Michaela Gregorova ... Laura Rivino
    Prolonged CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell activation and long COVID symptoms at 3 months post hospitlization independently associate with severe COVID-19, and ongoing T-cell activation does not affect the generation and maintenance of memory T-cell and antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2.

    Aerobic exercise reverses aging-induced depth-dependent decline in cerebral microcirculation

    Paul Shin, Qi Pian ... Sava Sakadžić
    Cerebral subcortical microcirculation is more vulnerable to aging-induced changes and more responsive to exercise than cortical microcirculation.

    Cell detoxification of secondary metabolites by P4-ATPase-mediated vesicle transport

    Yujie Li, Hui Ren ... Yan Pei
    P4-ATPase BbCrpa detoxifies secondary metabolites via a unique vesicle-mediated transport pathway that targets the compounds into vacuoles.

    A framework for community curation of interspecies interactions literature

    Alayne Cuzick, James Seager ... Kim E Hammond-Kosack
    A framework has been devised that enables global participation in the curation of publications on any topic involving two or more living organisms, ranging from microscopic to larger sizes, in their natural or artificial environments or ecosystems.

    Extensive remodelling of the cell wall during the development of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia

    Edward JA Douglas, Nathanael Palk ... Ruth C Massey
    The transition of Staphylococcus aureus from commensalism to invasive disease, bacteraemia, is a complex balancing act offsetting offensive and defensive virulence strategies involving the Tca cell wall stress stimulon locus.

    Interplay between VSD, pore, and membrane lipids in electromechanical coupling in HCN channels

    Ahmad Elbahnsi, John Cowgill ... Lucie Delemotte
    The HCN1 channel gates thanks to a coupling mechanism involving the reorganization of the interfaces between the voltage-sensor domains and pore helices, subtly shifting the balance between hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions in a 'domino effect'.

    Osteonecrosis in Gaucher disease in the era of multiple therapies: Biomarker set for risk stratification from a tertiary referral center

    Mohsen Basiri, Mohammad E Ghaffari ... Pramod K Mistry
    Enhancing the management of Gaucher disease patients through multidimensional risk assessment serves as a roadmap towards personalized medicine in the context of a rare disease.
    1. Neuroscience

    Opioid suppression of an excitatory pontomedullary respiratory circuit by convergent mechanisms

    Jordan T Bateman, Erica S Levitt
    Opioids have distributed effects on the brainstem circuitry that controls breathing, including presynaptic and postsynaptic receptor-mediated inhibition of an excitatory circuit from the dorsolateral pons to the ventrolateral medulla.

    Agonist efficiency links binding and gating in a nicotinic receptor

    Dinesh C Indurthi, Anthony Auerbach
    Efficiency measures the fundamental link between agonist binding and protein conformational change, and in nicotinic receptors has 5 values that calibrate energy changes in the induced fit that triggers activation.
