    Extracellular vesicle-mediated release of bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate is regulated by LRRK2 and glucocerebrosidase activity

    Elsa Meneses-Salas, Moises Castellá ... Albert Lu
    Dysregulated exocytosis of bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate (BMP)-enriched extracellular vesicles driven by pathogenic LRRK2 activity supports elevated urinary BMP levels and its use as a biomarker for Parkinson's disease.

    A conserved mycobacterial nucleomodulin hijacks the host COMPASS complex to reprogram pro-inflammatory transcription and promote intracellular survival

    Liu Chen, Baojie Duan ... Aizhen Guo
    Mycobacterium tuberculosis deploys nucleomodulins to suppress COMPASS-dependent H3K4 methylation, dampening pro-inflammatory gene expression to enhance intracellular survival and uncovering an epigenetic immune-evasion strategy.

    The self-interest of adolescents overrules cooperation in social dilemmas

    Xiaoyan Wu, Hongyu Fu ... Chao Liu
    Adolescents value reciprocity less than adults, limiting cooperation despite intact learning about others’ behavior.
