A new experimental system of horizontal gene transfer demonstrates that host retrotransposons facilitate the transfer of host genes into poxviruses.

Human blood derived macrophage polarisation can be classified by proxy of their metabolism, using advanced microscopy techniques generating single-cell parameters that are clustered and validated using machine learning classification models.

Nuclear phosphorylation differentially controls the activity of Hippo pathways effectors YAP and TAZ via distinct molecular mechanisms under physiological and tissue damage conditions.

Fat2 signals from the trailing edge of each cell to localize WAVE activity to the leading edge of the cell behind, polarizing protrusive regions within cells and across the epithelium.

Cardiac fibroblast reduction is well-tolerated and demonstrates beneficial outcomes after heart injury.

A poorly understood cell type, the telocyte, is shown to regulate macrophages.

A novel experimental paradigm investigating how humans manage limited search capacity over many alternatives reveals close-to-optimal behaviours and identifies heuristics used to minimize computation with little impact on performance.

Genetically predicted high insulin-like growth factor levels may decrease the risk of COVID-19 susceptibility and hospitalization.

Behavioral, lipidomic, and genetic analyses of adult Drosophila on a chronic high-sugar regime identified that fat body activity of a phospholipid biosynthesis enzyme, Pect, regulates insulin sensitivity and hunger response.

The SPARC complex directs accurate RNAPII positioning for transcription initiation and, in some instances, ensures correct transcription directionality in Trypanosoma brucei.
