While Dectin-1 is a well-known C-type lectin receptor recognizing b-glucan and involved in anti-fungal immunity, human Dectin-1 is O-glycosylated and acts as a ligand for another C-type lectin receptor, CLEC-2, expressed by platelets that mediates homeostatic responses such as lymphangiogenesis.

Synaptotagmin-7 acts synergistically with synaptotagmin-1 by placing vesicles close to the plasma membrane within reach of the SNARE/Munc13-complex, supporting their priming and setting the stage for fast and slow fusion.

Myoglobin iron contributes to the formation and poor healing of muscle pressure injuries, that is, bedsores, and iron-chelation therapy can be administered after prolonged pressure to increase survival of the damaged tissue.

SARS-CoV-2 experienced ocrelizumab-treated MS patients benefit from SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination by inducing broadprotective CD8+ T-cells, whereas methotrexate-treated RA patients induce delayed but strong antibody responses, which support vaccine strategies for these patient groups.

The kinetics of actin polymerization are strongly influenced by the binding of proteins to the lateral filament surface.

Type-I interferon enriched microenvironment generated by Mycobacterium tuberculosis induces the Siglec-1 receptor expression in human macrophages, including on tunneling nanotubes, and contributes to the exacerbation of cell-to-cell transfer of HIV-1.

Structures of respiratory complex I from the insect and metazoan model system Drosophila melanogaster reveal its close relationships with the mammalian complex and provide a foundation for new approaches to disentangle mechanisms of complex I catalysis and regulation.

Analysing a compilation of individual-level data gathered across the seven Ebola Virus Disease outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo reveals factors that contribute to the spread of the disease and mortality.

ATF4, the master regulator of transcription during the Integrated Stress Response (ISR), causes global changes in cysteine sulfhydration of proteins and this event causes cellular metabolic reprogramming.

Finch embryos are laid at an earlier stage than other avian embryos and contain cells with similar properties to pluripotent embryonic stem cells from mice.
