    Therapeutic benefits of maintaining CDK4/6 inhibitors and incorporating CDK2 inhibitors beyond progression in breast cancer

    Jessica Armand, Sungsoo Kim ... Hee Won Yang
    Maintaining CDK4/6 inhibition constrains drug‑resistant breast tumors by delaying cell‑cycle entry, and adding CDK2 inhibition further deepens control to guide post‑progression therapy.

    Phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1) regulates interferon-lambda receptor 1 (IFN-λR1) and IFN-λ signaling in influenza A virus (IAV) infection

    Alina Xiaoyu Yang, Lisa Ramos-Rodriguez ... Yang Zhou
    PLSCR1 is an IFN-λ-stimulated gene that enhances IFN-λR1 expression at both transcriptional and protein level, highlighting the potential for targeting PLSCR1 pathways in anti-influenza therapy.

    Nucleosome wrapping energy in CpG islands and the role of epigenetic base modifications

    Rasa Giniūnaitė, Rahul Sharma ... Daiva Petkevičiūtė-Gerlach
    CpG density and epigenetic modification state modulate DNA mechanics, altering its intrinsic compatibility with nucleosome formation.
    1. Neuroscience

    Projection-specific integration of convergent thalamic and retrosplenial signals in the presubicular head direction cortex

    Louis Richevaux, Dongkyun Lim ... Desdemona Fricker
    Nonlinear dendritic integration in single presubicular neurons provides a mechanism for combining vestibular-based head-direction signals and visual landmark signals to anchor the brain’s internal compass.

    Class A scavenger receptor MARCO negatively regulates Ace expression and aldosterone production

    Conan JO O'Brien, Giorgio Ratti ... Ana I Domingos
    Loss of class A scavenger receptor MARCO results in elevated lung Ace expression and elevated plasma aldosterone concentrations in male mice, demonstrating an endocrine function of this immune scavenger receptor.

    Are peer reviewers influenced by their work being cited?

    Adrian Barnett
    Some requests by reviewers to cite their own publications are coercive and can unnecessarily delay indexation and publication.

    Cryptovaranoides is not a squamate

    Michael W Caldwell, Chase D Brownstein ... Tiago R Simões
    Claims for a Triassic-aged crown lizard merit detailed reanalysis, the results of which find that Cryptovaranoides is not only not a lizard, but is a more distantly related diapsid reptile.

    Mac-/Lactosylceramide regulates intestinal homeostasis and secretory cell fate commitment by facilitating Notch signaling

    Kebei Tang, Xuewen Li ... Rongwen Xi
    An evolutionarily conserved glycosphingolipid metabolite ensures precise stem cell fate decisions by modulating Delta-Notch signaling dynamics.
