    Positively selected modifications in the pore of TbAQP2 allow pentamidine to enter Trypanosoma brucei

    Ali H Alghamdi, Jane C Munday ... Harry P De Koning
    Study of TbAQP2 adaptations and substrate interactions shows how this aquaglyceroporin enables cellular entry of large antimicrobial agents in Trypanosoma brucei.

    Endosomal sorting protein SNX4 limits synaptic vesicle docking and release

    Josse Poppinga, Nolan J Barrett ... Jan RT van Weering
    SNX4 influences synaptic vesicle recruitment at the active zone, linking endosomal sorting to docked vesicle density and modulating neurotransmission efficiency during sustained activity.

    The cardiopharyngeal mesoderm contributes to lymphatic vessel development in mouse

    Kazuaki Maruyama, Sachiko Miyagawa-Tomita ... Hiroki Kurihara
    Genetic lineage tracing reveals the cardiopharyngeal mesoderm as a cellular origin of craniofacial and cardiac lymphatic vessels, which most often affected in lymphatic malformation patients.

    Membrane fluidity is regulated by the C. elegans transmembrane protein FLD-1 and its human homologs TLCD1/2

    Mario Ruiz, Rakesh Bodhicharla ... Marc Pilon
    Inhibition of C. elegans FLD-1 or Human TLCD1/2 prevents saturated fat lipotoxicity by allowing increased levels of membrane phospholipids that contain fluidizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

    Chromosome-level genome assembly of hadal snailfish reveals mechanisms of deep-sea adaptation in vertebrates

    Wenjie Xu, Chenglong Zhu ... Kun Wang
    The hadal snailfish rapidly evolved and adapted to extreme deep-sea environments, modifying crucial genes and enhancing tolerance to high-hydrostatic pressure through ferritin gene duplication.

    Single cell preparations of Mycobacterium tuberculosis damage the mycobacterial envelope and disrupt macrophage interactions

    Ekansh Mittal, Andrew T Roth ... Jennifer A Philips
    The experimental methods that are routinely used to disperse mycobacterial aggregates markedly impact macrophage infection outcomes, which should be taken into account to appropriately interpret host-pathogen interactions studies.

    Phosphoproteomic mapping reveals distinct signaling actions and activation of muscle protein synthesis by Isthmin-1

    Meng Zhao, Niels Banhos Danneskiold-Samsøe ... Katrin J Svensson
    The role of Isthmin-1 in muscle function is defined by using phosphoproteomics to identify distinct and overlapping signaling pathways between Isthmin-1 and insulin.

    Two subunits of human ORC are dispensable for DNA replication and proliferation

    Etsuko Shibata, Manjari Kiran ... Anindya Dutta
    Human cell lines replicate and proliferate without ORC1 or ORC2, two subunits of the replication initiator protein complex ORC, which has till now been considered essential for DNA replication.

    A flagellate-to-amoeboid switch in the closest living relatives of animals

    Thibaut Brunet, Marvin Albert ... Nicole King
    The closest living relatives of animals, the choanoflagellates, switch from a flagellate to an amoeboid phenotype under confinement.
