    Squalene emulsion-based vaccine adjuvants stimulate CD8 T cell, but not antibody responses, through a RIPK3-dependent pathway

    Eui Ho Kim, Matthew C Woodruff ... Bali Pulendran
    Experiments in mice provide insights into the immunological mechanisms of action the vaccine adjuvant MF59.

    The histone modification reader ZCWPW1 links histone methylation to PRDM9-induced double-strand break repair

    Tao Huang, Shenli Yuan ... Hongbin Liu
    ZCWPW1 is a histone modification reader that localizes to DMC1-labelled double-strand break hotspots in a largely PRDM9-dependent manner, where it facilitates completion of synapsis by mediating DSB repair process.

    Nuclei determine the spatial origin of mitotic waves

    Felix E Nolet, Alexandra Vandervelde ... Lendert Gelens
    Nuclei and spatial system dimensions control local concentrations of cell cycle regulators, determining the spatial origin of waves that coordinate​ DNA replication and, subsequently, cell division.

    Germline burden of rare damaging variants negatively affects human healthspan and lifespan

    Anastasia V Shindyapina, Aleksandr A Zenin ... Vadim N Gladyshev
    Rare highly damaging mutations that are present in most human genomes decrease lifespan and are associated with an earlier onset of chronic diseases.

    Feedback contribution to surface motion perception in the human early visual cortex

    Ingo Marquardt, Peter De Weerd ... Kâmil Uludağ
    Novel evidence for a role of feedback in the perception of uniform surfaces in the human brain suggests that feedback already re-enters at an early visual processing stage.

    Screening of healthcare workers for SARS-CoV-2 highlights the role of asymptomatic carriage in COVID-19 transmission

    Lucy Rivett, Sushmita Sridhar ... Michael P Weekes
    3% of >1,000 asymptomatic healthcare workers in their workplace tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that comprehensive screening programmes are vital to prevent acquisition of COVID-19 in hospitals.

    Echinoderms provide missing link in the evolution of PrRP/sNPF-type neuropeptide signalling

    Luis Alfonso Yañez-Guerra, Xingxing Zhong ... Maurice R Elphick
    Discovery of a novel neuropeptide signalling system in a deuterostome invertebrate reveals the evolutionary origin of prolactin-releasing peptide and its relationship with neuropeptides in protostome invertebrates.

    SynGAP isoforms differentially regulate synaptic plasticity and dendritic development

    Yoichi Araki, Ingie Hong ... Richard L Huganir
    Detailed SYNGAP1 splice variant characterization uncovers distinct isoform functions and biochemical properties contributing to critical aspects of neurodevelopment, providing previously unknown isoform-level insight into SYNGAP1-related cognitive disorders.

    Mouse brain transcriptome responses to inhaled nanoparticulate matter differed by sex and APOE in Nrf2-Nfkb interactions

    Amin Haghani, Mafalda Cacciottolo ... Caleb E Finch
    Transcriptome analysis of mouse brain revealed that the APOE4 allele and sex can alter air pollution neurotoxicity in adults.
