    CD14 release induced by P2X7 receptor restricts inflammation and increases survival during sepsis

    Cristina Alarcón-Vila, Alberto Baroja-Mazo ... Pablo Pelegrin
    A murine model of sepsis shows that the purinergic P2X7 receptor controls the release of CD14 in extracellular vesicles playing a key role in cytokine production, bacterial clearance, and survival.

    Control of Slc7a5 sensitivity by the voltage-sensing domain of Kv1 channels

    Shawn M Lamothe, Nazlee Sharmin ... Harley T Kurata
    The voltage-sensing mechanism of a subfamily of potassium channels is modulated in unconventional ways by an amino acid transporter.

    Impaired speed encoding and grid cell periodicity in a mouse model of tauopathy

    Thomas Ridler, Jonathan Witton ... Jonathan T Brown
    Dementia-related tau pathology reduces speed encoding in the medial entorhinal cortex and is associated with reduced grid cell function, whilst head direction tuning remains intact.

    Structural basis for SARM1 inhibition and activation under energetic stress

    Michael Sporny, Julia Guez-Haddad ... Yarden Opatowsky
    Cryo-EM shows that the NADase activity of SARM1 is allosterically inhibited by physiological concentrations of NAD+ that stabilizes an auto-inhibited conformation of SARM1, explaining how NAD+ depletion may inflict neurodegeneration.

    BLOS1 mediates kinesin switch during endosomal recycling of LDL receptor

    Chang Zhang, Chanjuan Hao ... Wei Li
    BLOS1 is a new regulator of LDLR endosomal recycling through coordinating kinesins during long-range transport, and depletion of BLOS1 in mouse liver leads to aberrant lipid metabolism.

    Structures of diverse poxin cGAMP nucleases reveal a widespread role for cGAS-STING evasion in host–pathogen conflict

    James B Eaglesham, Kacie L McCarty, Philip J Kranzusch
    Poxin enzymes are a diverse family of insect and viral 2′3′-cGAMP nucleases, which evolved from self-cleaving RNA virus accessory proteases.

    Single-cell multiomic profiling of human lungs reveals cell-type-specific and age-dynamic control of SARS-CoV2 host genes

    Allen Wang, Joshua Chiou ... NHLBI LungMap Consortium
    Generation of a human lung single nucleus ATAC-seq and single nucleus RNA-seq datasets reveals candidate cis-regulatory elements that advance knowledge on gene expression control in normal and diseased lungs.

    Fine-scale computations for adaptive processing in the human brain

    Elisa Zamboni, Valentin G Kemper ... Zoe Kourtzi
    Laminar fMRI reveals that adaptive processing involves recurrent processing within visual cortex and top-down influences from posterior parietal cortex via feedback.

    Zebrafish Posterior Lateral Line primordium migration requires interactions between a superficial sheath of motile cells and the skin

    Damian E Dalle Nogare, Naveen Natesh ... Ajay B Chitnis
    Epithelial cells utilize a covering sheath of motile cells to migrate in confinement.

    Efficient mate finding in planktonic copepods swimming in turbulence

    François-Gaël Michalec, Itzhak Fouxon ... Markus Holzner
    Calanoid copepods achieve efficient mate finding in turbulence through active swimming and turbulence advection, indicating that reproduction is not restricted to spatial and temporal windows of calm hydrodynamic conditions.
