    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.

    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.

    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.

    Developing a theoretical evolutionary framework to solve the mystery of parturition initiation

    Antonis Rokas, Sam Mesiano ... Louis Muglia
    This review considers the evolutionary processes and physiological mechanisms that maintain or end pregnancy in mammals to formulate general, testable theoretical models that provide insights into the biology of parturition.

    The brain in motion: How ensemble fluidity drives memory-updating and flexibility

    William Mau, Michael E Hasselmo, Denise J Cai
    Ensemble fluidity, observed as synaptic turnover and temporal drift in neuronal patterns, supports memory-updating and flexibility while maintaining memory stability.

    Cancer-associated fibroblasts and their influence on tumor immunity and immunotherapy

    Richard Lee Barrett, Ellen Puré
    Long under-appreciated, fibroblast biology is a key aspect of understanding how the immune system responds to tumors and may hold the key to improving immunotherapy in this tricky space.

    The effects of age and systemic metabolism on anti-tumor T cell responses

    Jefte M Drijvers, Arlene H Sharpe, Marcia C Haigis
    A comprehensive literature review delineates the current knowledge of how systemic context, such as age and obesity, can impact CD8+ T cell function, anti-tumor immunity, and immunotherapy responsiveness.

    ACE2: Evidence of role as entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2 and implications in comorbidities

    Natalia Zamorano Cuervo, Nathalie Grandvaux
    Despite evidence that ACE2 is the receptor for SARS-CoV-2, its limited expression in the respiratory system challenges the uniqueness of this entry route and role in the multifaceted COVID-19.
