    HERV activation segregates ME/CFS from fibromyalgia while defining a novel nosologic entity

    Karen Giménez-Orenga, Eva Martín-Martínez ... Elisa Oltra
    Transcriptomic profiling of HERV elements at the loci level differentiates ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and their overlap, revealing distinct immuno-epigenetic landscapes.

    Characterisation and comparison of semen microbiota and bacterial load in men with infertility, recurrent miscarriage, or proven fertility

    Shahriar Mowla, Linda Farahani ... Channa N Jayasena
    There are common seminal microbiome clusters in both healthy men and those with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, and some specific microbiota perturbations are associated with impaired semen quality.

    Comprehensive analysis of nasal IgA antibodies induced by intranasal administration of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

    Kentarou Waki, Hideki Tani ... Nobuyuki Kurosawa
    Analysis of monoclonal immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies after intranasal immunization highlights the crucial role of secretory IgA in mucosal immunity, enhancing our understanding of how intranasal vaccines can protect against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Non-feature-specific elevated responses and feature-specific backward replay in human brain induced by visual sequence exposure

    Tao He, Xizi Gong ... Fang Fang
    Visual sequence exposure induces non-feature-specific elevated responses and time-compressed feature-specific backward replay, revealing twofold brain plasticity in the human brain.

    VGLL2 and TEAD1 fusion proteins identified in human sarcoma drive YAP/TAZ-independent tumorigenesis by engaging EP300

    Susu Guo, Xiaodi Hu ... Junhao Mao
    Characterization of recurrent fusion proteins in rhabdomyosarcoma identified a Hippo pathway-independent mechanism involving VGLL2 and TEAD1 driving oncogenic transformation.

    Dynamics of striatal action selection and reinforcement learning

    Jack W Lindsey, Jeffrey Markowitz ... Ashok Litwin-Kumar
    A theory of striatal synaptic plasticity separates activity related to learning and action execution into non-interfering subspaces.

    Adolescent alcohol exposure promotes mechanical allodynia and alters synaptic function at inputs from the basolateral amygdala to the prelimbic cortex

    J Daniel Obray, Erik T Wilkes ... L Judson Chandler
    Adolescent alcohol exposure reduced basolateral amygdala-driven inhibition of pyramidal neurons projecting from the prefrontal cortex to the periaqueductal gray and increased inhibition of prefrontal parvalbumin interneurons.

    SIRT2-mediated ACSS2 K271 deacetylation suppresses lipogenesis under nutrient stress

    Rezwana Karim, Wendi Teng ... Hening Lin
    A cross-talk is revealed between two branches of metabolisms, amino acid limitation suppressing fatty acid biosynthesis, via posttranslational modifications of an enzyme involved in fatty acid biosynthesis.

    MARK2 regulates Golgi apparatus reorientation by phosphorylation of CAMSAP2 in directional cell migratio

    Peipei Xu, Rui Zhang ... Wenxiang Meng
    MARK2-mediated phosphorylation of CAMSAP2 dynamically controls Golgi orientation by altering microtubule anchoring and polarity during directional cell migration.

    Reprograming gene expression in ‘hibernating’ C. elegans involves the IRE-1/XBP-1 pathway

    Melanie Lianne Engelfriet, Yanwu Guo ... Rafal Ciosk
    Gene expression in nematodes during cold-induced dormancy is proposed to be regulated at the transcription level, partly involving the activation of unfolded protein response (UPR) through the IRE-1/XBP-1 signaling pathway.
