    Host-associated microbe PCR (hamPCR) enables convenient measurement of both microbial load and community composition

    Derek S Lundberg, Pratchaya Pramoj Na Ayutthaya ... Detlef Weigel
    hamPCR is a cost-effective and transformative amplicon sequencing strategy to describe microbiota composition and measure its overall abundance, applicable to all samples in which host and microbial DNA are co-extracted.

    Transposable elements regulate thymus development and function

    Jean-David Larouche, Céline M Laumont ... Claude Perreault
    Multiomic analyses provide new insights into the involvement of transposable elements in T-cell development in the thymus and central tolerance induction.

    Umbilical cord blood-derived ILC1-like cells constitute a novel precursor for mature KIR+NKG2A- NK cells

    Sabrina Bianca Bennstein, Sandra Weinhold ... Markus Uhrberg
    Neonatal ILC1-like cells are functionally immature but have the unique potential to generate NK cells characterized by downregulation of NKG2A and a highly diverse KIR receptor repertoire.

    Agonist efficiency links binding and gating in a nicotinic receptor

    Dinesh C Indurthi, Anthony Auerbach
    Efficiency measures the fundamental link between agonist binding and protein conformational change, and in nicotinic receptors has 5 values that calibrate energy changes in the induced fit that triggers activation.

    A novel bioinformatics pipeline for the identification of immune inhibitory receptors as potential therapeutic targets

    Akashdip Singh, Alberto Miranda Bedate ... Linde Meyaard
    A bioinformatics pipeline describes 390 putative, novel inhibitory receptors, to facilitate targeted therapeutic strategies for diverse immune cell types in cancer therapy.

    Natural variation in the Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying circuit modulates an intergenerational fitness trade-off

    Laure Mignerot, Clotilde Gimond ... Christian Braendle
    Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying behaviour shows pronounced variation in natural populations, making it a promising model to investigate the microevolution of a simple neural circuit.

    The transcription factor RUNX2 drives the generation of human NK cells and promotes tissue residency

    Sigrid Wahlen, Filip Matthijssens ... Georges Leclercq
    RUNX2 plays an important role in human NK cell biology by driving differentiation, inhibiting cytokine production, and inducing a tissue-resident phenotype, which has implications for improving NK cell therapy for cancer patients.

    Drep-2 is a novel synaptic protein important for learning and memory

    Till F M Andlauer, Sabrina Scholz-Kornehl ... Stephan J Sigrist
    Drep-2 is the first representative of the evolutionary conserved CIDE-N protein family found at synapses and is required for associative learning by functionally intersecting with metabotropic signaling.

    SnRK1-triggered switch of bZIP63 dimerization mediates the low-energy response in plants

    Andrea Mair, Lorenzo Pedrotti ... Markus Teige
    The transcription factor bZIP63 is a key regulator of the starvation response in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and is directly targeted by the kinase SnRK1.

    Sexual dimorphism in obesity is governed by RELMα regulation of adipose macrophages and eosinophils

    Jiang Li, Rebecca E Ruggiero-Ruff ... Meera G Nair
    The small macrophage-secreted protein RELMα is a sex-specific protein that protects against diet-induced obesity through regulating the macrophage–eosinophil innate immune axis in the adipose tissue.
