Cancer Biology
Chromosomes and Gene Expression
Cancer: Reading the DNA of telomeres
Shamayita Roy, Claus M Azzalin
Experiments with tools designed to detect DNA damage reveal unique and conserved features of telomeres in cancer cells.
Medicine
Aging: Multiple roles for a mitochondrial enzyme
Xicong Tang, Hongyu Qiu
The enzyme arginase-II has an important role in cardiac aging, and blocking it could help hearts stay young longer.
Neuroscience
Touch: A lasting impression
Rochelle Ackerley, Roger H Watkins
Touch-sensitive neurons in the fingertips take previous physical contacts into account when relaying tactile information to the brain.
Neuroscience
Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Unraveling the impact of genetic variants
Bruce Herring
Experiments in mice reveal how three rare mutations in a gene called
TRIO
can lead to different neurodevelopmental outcomes.
Immunology and Inflammation
Interferon Signaling: Immobilizing bacteria to prevent infections
Patricia Reist Iscar, Petr Broz
The interferon-induced GTPase GVIN1 prevents bacteria from spreading among cells by coating them and rendering them immobile.
Cell Biology
Microbiology and Infectious Disease
Cell Surface Receptors: Virus attacks fish by muscling its way into cells
Ping-Ping Liu, Zhe Wei, Xian-Wei Wang
Nervous necrosis virus typically enters host cells via endocytosis, but it can also enter via a process called macropinocytosis.
Microbiology and Infectious Disease
Helicase Loading: A back-up mechanism for replication
Godefroid Charbon, Anders Løbner-Olesen
A protein called PriC allows DNA replication to proceed in
Escherichia coli
when the complex that usually initiates this process is compromised.
Neuroscience
Consciousness: Did you see it?
Ling Liu
Cautious reporting choices can artificially enhance how well analyses of brain activity reflect conscious and unconscious experiences, making distinguishing between the two more challenging.
Cell Biology
Neuroscience
Vision: A pathway to sight
Katherine J Wert
The breakdown of glutamine is an important metabolic pathway for the health and survival of rod photoreceptors within the retina.
Neuroscience
Synaptic Plasticity: A new mode of action for unconventional NMDA receptors
Ikuko Smith
Presynaptic NMDA receptors can shape timing-dependent long-term depression in a way that departs from their classic postsynaptic role.
