    Co-targeting the tumor endothelium and P-selectin-expressing glioblastoma cells leads to a remarkable therapeutic outcome

    Shiran Ferber, Galia Tiram ... Ronit Satchi-Fainaro
    Treatment with precision nanomedicine in combination with an anti-angiogenic peptide enhance anti-tumor efficacy while minimizing toxicities in a pre-clinical glioblastoma model, making this approach a promising and important therapeutic alternative for patients.

    Evolutionary consequences of nascent multicellular life cycles

    Jennifer T Pentz, Kathryn MacGillivray ... William C Ratcliff
    Clonal development, but not aggregation, promotes the transition of Darwinian individuality from cells to groups, emphasizing the fundamental role of initial multicellular life cycles in the evolution of multicellularity.

    Regulation of inflammation and protection against invasive pneumococcal infection by the long pentraxin PTX3

    Rémi Porte, Rita Silva-Gomes ... Alberto Mantovani
    Long Pentaxin 3 is highly expressed by non-hematopoietic cells during Streptococcus pneumoniae invasive infections and regulates polymorphonuclear neutrophils' recruitment through interaction with P-selectin which damps inflammation-associated tissue damage and pneumococcal systemic dissemination.

    Immune genes are hotspots of shared positive selection across birds and mammals

    Allison J Shultz, Timothy B Sackton
    Pathogens, particularly viruses, target the same genes over deep evolutionary time, resulting in shared signatures of positive selection and transcriptional responses at the same genes.

    An integrative genomic analysis of the Longshanks selection experiment for longer limbs in mice

    João PL Castro, Michelle N Yancoskie ... Yingguang Frank Chan
    Genome sequencing of mice selected for longer limbs reveals that rapid selection response is due to both discrete loci and polygenic adaptation.

    Firefly genomes illuminate parallel origins of bioluminescence in beetles

    Timothy R Fallon, Sarah E Lower ... Jing-Ke Weng
    The first genomic view of beetle luciferase evolution indicates evolutionary independence of luciferase between fireflies and click-beetles, and provide valuable datasets which will accelerate the discovery of new biotechnological tools.

    Allosteric signalling in the outer membrane translocation domain of PapC usher

    Irene Farabella, Thieng Pham ... Maya Topf
    Input from computational models has enabled the detection of allosteric communication that modulates the gating mechanism of a bacterial outer-membrane protein.

    Compensatory induction of MYC expression by sustained CDK9 inhibition via a BRD4-dependent mechanism

    Huasong Lu, Yuhua Xue ... Qiang Zhou
    A new potent and selective CDK9 inhibitor induces the expression of the proto-oncogene MYC via a mechanism that depends on the bromodomain protein BRD4.

    Structures of NF-κB p52 homodimer-DNA complexes rationalize binding mechanisms and transcription activation

    Wenfei Pan, Vladimir A Meshcheryakov ... Vivien Ya-Fan Wang
    Structural and biophysical characterization of NF-κB p52 in complex with closely related DNAs reveals the dynamic states of central base pair(s) have a strong influence on transcriptional activity of p52.

    Host-pathogen coevolution increases genetic variation in susceptibility to infection

    Elizabeth ML Duxbury, Jonathan P Day ... Ben Longdon
    A history of coevolution increases genetic variation in the susceptibility of Drosophila to viruses, largely by introducing major-effect resistance polymorphisms into populations.
