    Structural foundation for the role of enterococcal PrgB in conjugation, biofilm formation, and virulence

    Wei-Sheng Sun, Lena Lassinantti ... Ronnie P-A Berntsson
    The enterococcal adhesin PrgB consists of four immunoglobulin-like domains that support the proper function of its polymer adhesin domain.

    C-type natriuretic peptide improves maternally aged oocytes quality by inhibiting excessive PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy

    Hui Zhang, Chan Li ... Baohua Ma
    In vitro and in vivo data show that C-natriuretic peptide is significant for increasing mitochondrial bioenergetics by cAMP-PKA pathway and improving cytoplasmic and nuclear maturation of maternally aged oocyte.

    The Calpain-7 protease functions together with the ESCRT-III protein IST1 within the midbody to regulate the timing and completion of abscission

    Elliott L Paine, Jack J Skalicky ... Wesley I Sundquist
    Biochemical, structural, imaging, and functional studies reveal how the ESCRT-III protein IST1 recruits the CAPN7 cysteine protease to midbodies, where its proteolytic activity is required for efficient abscission and NoCut checkpoint arrest.

    Complementary CRISPR screen highlights the contrasting role of membrane-bound and soluble ICAM-1 in regulating antigen-specific tumor cell killing by cytotoxic T cells

    Ann-Kathrin Herzfeldt, Marta Puig Gamez ... Lee Kim Swee
    Loss of membrane-bound ICAM-1, overexpression of soluble ICAM-1 or ILKAP activity in tumor cells induce resistance to antigen-specific cytotoxic T-cell-mediated killing independently from regulating antigen presentation, PD-L1 expression, IFN-γ, or TNF-α responsiveness.

    β-Arrestin-dependent and -independent endosomal G protein activation by the vasopressin type 2 receptor

    Carole Daly, Akim Abdul Guseinov ... Bianca Plouffe
    The vasopressin type 2 receptor promotes dual Gαs and Gαq/11 signaling at early endosomes in β-arrestin-dependent and -independent manners.

    Mechanical vibration patterns elicit behavioral transitions and habituation in crawling Drosophila larvae

    Alexander Berne, Tom Zhang ... Mason Klein
    Habituation to mechanical vibration of crawling Drosophila larvae exhibits distinct time constants that characterize desensitization, re-sensitization, and further adaptation to repeated stimulus patterns.

    High-content microscopy reveals a morphological signature of bortezomib resistance

    Megan E Kelley, Adi Y Berman ... Gregory P Way
    Morphological profiling of untreated HCT116 cells using Cell Painting reveals a signature of bortezomib resistance, providing a proof-of-concept for the unbiased analysis of drug resistance.

    PM2.5 leads to adverse pregnancy outcomes by inducing trophoblast oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis via KLF9/CYP1A1 transcriptional axis

    Shuxian Li, Lingbing Li ... Xietong Wang
    Airborne PM2.5 exposure triggers oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis in placental trophoblast cells via the KLF9/CYP1A1 transcriptional axis, ultimately leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

    A comprehensive model of Drosophila epithelium reveals the role of embryo geometry and cell topology in mechanical responses

    Mohamad Ibrahim Cheikh, Joel Tchoufag ... Konstantin Doubrovinski
    Direct mechanical microcantilever-based measurements establish key material parameters describing mechanical response of the early Drosophila embryonic epithelium.
