    A fusion peptide in preS1 and the human protein disulfide isomerase ERp57 are involved in hepatitis B virus membrane fusion process

    Jimena Pérez-Vargas, Elin Teppa ... François-Loïc Cosset
    The mechanism triggering HBV membrane fusion involves ERp57, a cellular protein disulfide isomerase, and ultimately leads to the exposition of a fusion peptide that was identified in the pre-S1 determinant.

    Mendelian randomization analysis provides causality of smoking on the expression of ACE2, a putative SARS-CoV-2 receptor

    Hui Liu, Junyi Xin ... Xia Jiang
    Smoking, measured by both initiation and intensity, are significantly associated with an elevated expression level of ACE2 in multiple human tissues/organs, subsequently increasing the susceptibility and severity of COVID-19.

    Acid-base transporters and pH dynamics in human breast carcinomas predict proliferative activity, metastasis, and survival

    Nicolai J Toft, Trine V Axelsen ... Ebbe Boedtkjer
    Cellular acidity, capacity for net acid extrusion, and expression of acid-base transporters in human breast carcinomas independently predict variation in proliferative activity, lymph node metastasis, and patient survival.

    Crash landing of Vibrio cholerae by MSHA pili-assisted braking and anchoring in a viscoelastic environment

    Wenchao Zhang, Mei Luo ... Kun Zhao
    Mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin pili act as a braking and anchoring machine during the three-phase landing process of Vibrio cholerae.

    Insula to mPFC reciprocal connectivity differentially underlies novel taste neophobic response and learning in mice

    Haneen Kayyal, Sailendrakumar Kolatt Chandran ... Kobi Rosenblum
    aIC to mPFC connections are correlative and necessary both for taste novelty behavior and learning while the reciprocal connection from mPFC to aIC is correlative and necessary for novelty behavior.

    A deep learning algorithm to translate and classify cardiac electrophysiology

    Parya Aghasafari, Pei-Chi Yang ... Colleen E Clancy
    A deep learning network can classify cardiac myocytes into drug-free and drugged categories and predict the impact of electrophysiological perturbation across the continuum of aging.

    Psychosocial experiences modulate asthma-associated genes through gene-environment interactions

    Justyna A Resztak, Allison K Farrell ... Francesca Luca
    Psychosocial environments modulate genetic risk of asthma and other allergic diseases through altered peripheral blood gene expression.

    Functional interdependence of the actin nucleator Cobl and Cobl-like in dendritic arbor development

    Maryam Izadi, Eric Seemann ... Michael M Kessels
    Extended biochemical and functional analyses in primary neurons show that early neuronal morphogenesis critically relies on cooperation of the actin nucleator Cobl and its ancestor Cobl-like and uncover their cooperative mechanisms at dendritic branch initiation sites.

    Control of tissue development and cell diversity by cell cycle-dependent transcriptional filtering

    Maria Abou Chakra, Ruth Isserlin ... Gary D Bader
    A mathematical model predicts that cell cycle duration acts as a transcriptional filter and directly affects cell diversity in early eukaryotic development.
