A screen using in vitro-selected synthetic nanobodies identified inhibitors of SMC protein function in bacterial cells, revealing a coiled coil region as a vital component of the chromosome-folding machinery.
Sourav Banerjee, Nicola Minshall ... Mark Carrington
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored receptors in Trypanosoma brucei are not confined to the flagellar pocket but instead localise across the whole cell surface, reshaping our understanding of host immune evasion and nutrient uptake.

Experiments and mathematical modelling show cell fate in Dictyostelium discoideum partly depends on cell-cycle phase, but also on stochastic gene-expression variability which enhances robustness of developmental responses to cell-cycle perturbation.

A semi-automated system for monitoring egg-laying reveals that lateral dorsal neurons are key regulators of circadian oviposition, showing that the neural circuits controlling oviposition and circadian locomotor behavior are different.
An evolution-guided framework is proposed to accelerate the discovery and therapeutic targeting of understudied dark channels by integrating sequence, structure, and functional data from diverse organisms.
Functional and mechanistic analyses reveal that intranasal decoys engage phagocytic clearance beyond viral neutralization to provide effective protection, establishing immune redirection for developing broad-spectrum countermeasures against airborne viral threats.
