    DNA tensiometer reveals catch-bond detachment kinetics of kinesin-1, -2, and -3

    Crystal R Noell, Tzu-Chen Ma ... William O Hancock
    All three kinesin transport families exhibit unexpectedly slow dissociation under load, explaining robust competition with dynein during bidirectional cargo transport.

    The view tolerance of human identity recognition depends on horizontal face information

    Alexia Roux-Sibilon, Helene Dumont ... Valerie Goffaux
    View-tolerant identity recognition in humans depends on the stable identity cues provided by horizontal facial information.

    FMRP regulates neuronal RNA granules containing stalled ribosomes, not where ribosomes stall

    Jewel T-Y Li, Mehdi Amiri ... Wayne S Sossin
    The loss of FMRP does not affect how neuronal ribosomes are stalled or where they are stalled, but reduces the number of neuronal RNA granules that contain stalled ribosomes.

    DuoHexaBody-CD37 induces direct cytotoxic signaling in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

    Simar Pal Singh, Kumar Mangalam ... Annemiek B van Spriel
    DuoHexaBody‑CD37 triggers complement‑independent cytotoxic signaling in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), revealing therapeutic pathways that can be exploited to enhance tumor cell killing through targeted combination strategies.

    Cluster size determines internal structure of transcription factories in human cells

    Massimiliano Semeraro, Giuseppe Negro ... Davide Marenduzzo
    In a polymer model of chromatin that explicitly incorporates different types of transcription factors, both specialised and mixed factories emerge naturally, with their composition governed by their size.

    The effect of physical activity on brain structure and cognitive function in the population-based cohort of LIFE-Adult Study

    Polona Kalc, Robert Dahnke ... Christian Gaser
    Although physical exercise could be a beneficial protective factor for brain health in later life, older adults tend to overestimate their actual levels of activity.

    Linking germline telomere removal to global programmed DNA elimination in Tetrahymena genome differentiation

    Kohei Nagao, Alix Lemoine ... Kazufumi Mochizuki
    Tetrahymena germline chromosome ends contain germline-limited sequences that are removed by chromosome breakage, a critical step for programmed DNA elimination of other germline-limited sequences and successful sexual reproduction.

    A natural experiment in Kenya reveals durable immunosuppressive effects of early childhood malaria: a longitudinal cohort study

    Mercy S Safari, Timothy O Makori ... Charles J Sande
    Early-life malaria exposure leaves a durable immunological imprint associated with reduced antibody responses to unrelated infections and vaccines.

    In silico design and validation of high-affinity RNA aptamers for SARS-CoV-2 comparable to neutralizing antibodies

    Yanqing Yang, Lulu Qiao ... Ruhong Zhou
    Computer-Aided Aptamer Modeling and Optimization (CAAMO) enables structure-guided RNA aptamer affinity maturation, producing a SARS-CoV-2 RBD (receptor binding domain) binder that rivals neutralizing antibodies and retains predicted activity across variants.

    Cytoplasmic circular dsDNA is a key constituent of stress granules

    Natalia A Demeshkina, Adrian R Ferré-D'Amaré
    Extrachromosomal circular DNA has been identified as a novel component of stress granule cores, indicating its essential involvement in eukaryotic stress response pathways at the level of protein synthesis.
