    Constitutive deficiency of the neurogenic hippocampal modulator AP2γ promotes anxiety-like behavior and cumulative memory deficits in mice from juvenile to adult periods

    Eduardo Loureiro-Campos, António Mateus-Pinheiro ... Luísa Pinto
    Constitutive deficiency of AP2γ transcription factor impairs hippocampal glutamatergic neurogenesis and induces alterations on limbic-cortical connectivity that contribute to anxiety-like behavior and cumulative memory deficits in mice from juvenile to adult periods.

    A molecular mechanism for the generation of ligand-dependent differential outputs by the epidermal growth factor receptor

    Yongjian Huang, Jana Ognjenovic ... John Kuriyan
    Cryo-EM analysis of full-length human epidermal growth factor receptor provides a molecular explanation for how ligand-induced differential effect in the ligand-binding extracellular module tunes the transmembrane signaling mediated by epidermal growth factor receptor.

    Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) cooperates with estrogen receptor α (ERα) in the regulation of estrogen action in breast cancer cells

    Natalia Vydra, Patryk Janus ... Wieslawa Widlak
    Heat shock factor 1 is involved in estrogen-induced chromatin remodeling in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells.

    Taste sensing and sugar detection mechanisms in Drosophila larval primary taste center

    G Larisa Maier, Nikita Komarov ... Simon G Sprecher
    Drosophila larvae show taste multimodality and combinatorial sensing at gustatory organ level but also systemically as they employ complementary external and internal taste in sugar detection.

    SARS-CoV-2 spike protein induces inflammation via TLR2-dependent activation of the NF-κB pathway

    Shahanshah Khan, Mahnoush S Shafiei ... Hasan Zaki
    Recognition of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by innate immune sensor TLR2 leads to the induction of inflammatory mediators and constitutes a mechanism for cytokine storm during COVID-19.

    A dual endosymbiosis supports nutritional adaptation to hematophagy in the invasive tick Hyalomma marginatum

    Marie Buysse, Anna Maria Floriano ... Olivier Duron
    The invasive tick Hyalomma marginatum relies on a dual partner nutritional system to provide B vitamins and avoid nutritional deficiencies due to its exclusive blood diet.

    Regulation of positive and negative selection and TCR signaling during thymic T cell development by capicua

    Soeun Kim, Guk-Yeol Park ... Yoontae Lee
    Deficiency of capicua, a transcription factor that suppresses autoimmunity, impairs positive and negative selection processes by attenuating TCR signaling in CD4+CD8+ double-positive thymocytes.

    Allosteric ligands control the activation of a class C GPCR heterodimer by acting at the transmembrane interface

    Lei Liu, Zhiran Fan ... Jianfeng Liu
    Functional analysis reveals a distinct mode of action of the allosteric modulators in the GABAB receptor in a pocket that is formed only in the active state and identifies a region in the GABAB2 subunit important for allosteric agonism.

    Blood-brain barrier-restricted translocation of Toxoplasma gondii from cortical capillaries

    Gabriela C Olivera, Emily C Ross ... Antonio Barragan
    The invasion of Toxoplasma to the CNS across cortical capillaries is restricted by the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and exacerbated by the inflammatory response.

    Supracellular organization confers directionality and mechanical potency to migrating pairs of cardiopharyngeal progenitor cells

    Yelena Y Bernadskaya, Haicen Yue ... Alex Mogilner
    The migrating pair of cardiac progenitors in the chordate Ciona robusta is the simplest possible supracellular cell collective whose organization helps them overcome resistance from surrounding embryonic tissues during cell migration.
