    Adult mouse fibroblasts retain organ-specific transcriptomic identity

    Elvira Forte, Mirana Ramialison ... Milena B Furtado
    Adult mouse fibroblasts maintain an embryonic gene expression signature, inherited from their organ of origin, that is important for organ homeostasis and fibrosis, and may assist in targeting fibrotic diseases in an organ-specific manner.

    Thalamocortical axons control the cytoarchitecture of neocortical layers by area-specific supply of VGF

    Haruka Sato, Jun Hatakeyama ... Kenji Shimamura
    VGF was identified as a factor secreted from thalamocortical axons essential for the cytoarchitectonic features of neocortical layer 4 in the sensory areas in mice.

    P2RY14 cAMP signaling regulates Schwann cell precursor self-renewal, proliferation, and nerve tumor initiation in a mouse model of neurofibromatosis

    Jennifer Patritti Cram, Jianqiang Wu ... Nancy Ratner
    In a mouse model of neurofibromatosis type 1, the purinergic receptor P2RY14 is a key regulator of Schwann cell precursor self-renewal and proliferation, of neurofibroma tumor initiation and of mouse survival.

    YAP1 activation by human papillomavirus E7 promotes basal cell identity in squamous epithelia

    Joshua Hatterschide, Paola Castagnino ... Elizabeth A White
    Papillomavirus E7 proteins activate the YAP1 oncogene in basal epithelial cells by degrading PTPN14, in doing so promoting basal cell retention and contributing to carcinogenesis.

    Nuclear hormone receptor NHR-49 acts in parallel with HIF-1 to promote hypoxia adaptation in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Kelsie RS Doering, Xuanjin Cheng ... Stefan Taubert
    Animal survival in hypoxia requires the classical hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signalling pathway, but in the nematode worm C. elegans, a new signalling pathway involving the nuclear receptor NHR-49/PPARalpha is as important for hypoxia survival as the HIF pathway.

    Macrophage network dynamics depend on haptokinesis for optimal local surveillance

    Neil Paterson, Tim Lämmermann
    Macrophages use integrin-dependent 3D movement and cell protrusiveness, which control cell motility and space exploration as a prerequisite for optimal clearance of particles and dead cells by macrophage networks.

    Adaptation in cone photoreceptors contributes to an unexpected insensitivity of primate On parasol retinal ganglion cells to spatial structure in natural images

    Zhou Yu, Maxwell H Turner ... Fred Rieke
    A combination of electrophysiology and quantitative modeling shows that subtle changes in input due to adaptation in cone phototransduction control the linearity or nonlinearity of how ganglion cells integrate spatial inputs.

    Coil-to-α-helix transition at the Nup358-BicD2 interface activates BicD2 for dynein recruitment

    James M Gibson, Heying Cui ... Chunyu Wang
    A cargo recognition α-helix was identified in Nup358, which is required for activation of a dynein-dependent transport pathway that is essential for brain development.

    The TFIIH complex is required to establish and maintain mitotic chromosome structure

    Julian Haase, Richard Chen ... Alexander E Kelly
    The general transcription factor TFIIH complex promotes the establishment and maintenance of chromosome structure during mitosis by altering the chromatin environment to allow for proper loading and function of the condensin complexes on chromatin.

    Effect of cancer on outcome of COVID-19 patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies of unvaccinated patients

    Giulia Di Felice, Giovanni Visci ... Paolo Boffetta
    A twofold increased risk of adverse outcomes (mortality, ICU admission, and severity of COVID-19) has been demonstrated in unvaccinated COVID-19 patients with cancer compared to COVID-19 patients without cancer.
