    ICAM-1 nanoclusters regulate hepatic epithelial cell polarity by leukocyte adhesion-independent control of apical actomyosin

    Cristina Cacho-Navas, Carmen López-Pujante ... Jaime Millán
    ICAM-1 engagement controls hepatic cell polarity, but this receptor can also signal without prior leukocyte interaction, thanks to its confinement into apical, microvilli-enriched, bile-canalicular domains and its actin connector EBP50.

    Substrate evaporation drives collective construction in termites

    Giulio Facchini, Alann Rathery ... Andrea Perna
    Evidence of a relationship between substrate curvature, water evaporation and the building behavior of termites capable of mediating collective nest-building with no need for a building pheromone.

    Evolution and diversity of biomineralized columnar architecture in early Cambrian phosphatic-shelled brachiopods

    Zhiliang Zhang, Zhifei Zhang ... Guoxiang Li
    Columnar architectures, developed in early Cambrian phosphatic-shelled brachiopods, are highly biologically controlled and organic-matrix mediated, which sheds new light on the evolution and adaptation of biomineralization during the Cambrian explosion.

    Effect of α-tubulin acetylation on the doublet microtubule structure

    Shun Kai Yang, Shintaroh Kubo ... Khanh Huy Bui
    Cryo-EM studies of doublet microtubules from wild-type and acetylation mutants suggest that acetylation of K40 affects the lateral rotational angle between protofilaments, leading to changes in the structure and stability.

    Bone canonical Wnt signaling is downregulated in type 2 diabetes and associates with higher advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) content and reduced bone strength

    Giulia Leanza, Francesca Cannata ... Nicola Napoli
    In individuals with type 2 diabetes, downregulation of bone canonical Wnt signaling is linked to higher levels of advanced glycation end-products within the bone, contributing to lower bone strength.

    The Listeria monocytogenes persistence factor ClpL is a potent stand-alone disaggregase

    Valentin Bohl, Nele Merret Hollmann ... Axel Mogk
    The bacterial AAA+ chaperone ClpL recognizes aggregated proteins via multiple contacts of its unique N-terminal domain and refolds them with high efficiency providing superior heat resistance.

    Dysregulation of mTOR signaling mediates common neurite and migration defects in both idiopathic and 16p11.2 deletion autism neural precursor cells

    Smrithi Prem, Bharati Dev ... Emanuel DiCicco-Bloom
    Alterations in mTOR signaling drive similar dysregulations in the critical mid-fetal neurodevelopmental processes of neurite outgrowth and cell migration in two distinct subsets of autism, idiopathic and 16p11.2 deletion.

    Phasic locus coeruleus activity enhances trace fear conditioning by increasing dopamine release in the hippocampus

    Jacob H Wilmot, Cassiano RAF Diniz ... Brian Joseph Wiltgen
    Locus coeruleus responses to salient environmental stimuli drive increases in hippocampal dopamine that are important for long-term memory formation during trace fear conditioning.

    Deciphering the complex relationship between type 2 diabetes and fracture risk with both genetic and observational evidence

    Pianpian Zhao, Zhifeng Sheng ... Hou-Feng Zheng
    Genetically determined type 2 diabetes (T2D) may not increase the risk of fracture, but managing T2D-related risk factors is crucial to prevent fracture in patients with T2D.
