    Group phenotypic composition in cancer

    Jean-Pascal Capp, James DeGregori ... Frédéric Thomas
    Tumoral group phenotypic compositions and their relationships with the fitness of individual malignant cells in different ecological contexts represent crucial, previously unexplored dynamics in tumor progression.

    FRET-based dynamic structural biology: Challenges, perspectives and an appeal for open-science practices

    Eitan Lerner, Anders Barth ... Shimon Weiss
    A summary of the current “state-of-the-field” of single-molecule FRET used for probing biomolecular structural dynamics.

    Antimicrobial resistance and COVID-19: Intersections and implications

    Gwenan M Knight, Rebecca E Glover ... Clare IR Chandler
    COVID-19 will have an ongoing impact on antimicrobial resistance acquisition, transmission, and burden, requiring the close attention of researchers globally to generate a complete evidence base for the shifted dynamics.

    To lie or not to lie: Super-relaxing with myosins

    Suman Nag, Darshan V Trivedi
    A perspective of the energy-sparing super-relaxed state of myosin and its evolutionary role in modulating skeletal and cardiac muscle power under different physiological and pathophysiological perturbations.

    Cycles, sources, and sinks: Conceptualizing how phosphate balance modulates carbon flux using yeast metabolic networks

    Ritu Gupta, Sunil Laxman
    A theoretical conceptualization of how phosphates control metabolic information flow and predictably regulate the metabolic state of the cell.
    1. Immunology and Inflammation

    Gross ways to live long: Parasitic worms as an anti-inflammaging therapy?

    Bruce Zhang, David Gems
    The absence of helminth parasites in developed countries may be exacerbating pathological, age-associated inflammation, known as inflammaging, suggesting that helminth therapies could provide protection against age-related disease.

    Cytoplasmic chromatin fragments—from mechanisms to therapeutic potential

    Karl N Miller, Nirmalya Dasgupta ... Maria Grazia Vizioli
    Cytoplasmic chromatin fragment formation pathways in senescent cells are a potential therapeutic target for modulation of inflammation in aging, which contributes to age-associated diseases.
    1. Genetics and Genomics

    DNA damage—how and why we age?

    Matt Yousefzadeh, Chathurika Henpita ... Laura Niedernhofer
    There is now sufficient and diverse evidence to support a cogent argument that DNA damage plays a causal role in aging.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    Evolutionary conflicts and adverse effects of antiviral factors

    Daniel Sauter, Frank Kirchhoff
    Innate antiviral factors do not always perfectly distinguish between self and foreign, and potential adverse effects of antiviral defense mechanisms for the host have been discussed.

    Reconsidering the evidence for learning in single cells

    Samuel J Gershman, Petra EM Balbi ... Jeremy Gunawardena
    Single cells are believed to be incapable of complex forms of learning, but reconsideration of historical studies and more recent developments suggest that this orthodoxy must now be reconsidered.
