    Effect of malaria parasite shape on its alignment at erythrocyte membrane

    Anil K Dasanna, Sebastian Hillringhaus ... Dmitry A Fedosov
    A numerical model of malaria parasite adhesion to an erythrocyte shows that the original egg-like shape of merozoites is more robust than other shapes in negotiating various physiological conditions during the alignment process upon erythrocyte invasion.

    Selective loss of CD107a TIGIT+ memory HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cells in PLWH over a decade of ART

    Oscar Blanch-Lombarte, Dan Ouchi ... Julia G Prado
    PLWH over a decade of ART showed a significant reshaping of the function and expression of inhibitory receptors across the CD8+ T cell landscape, ultimately leading to a decrease of CD107a TIGIT HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cells recovered by TIGIT blockade.

    Origin and evolution of transporter substrate specificity within the NPF family

    Morten Egevang Jørgensen, Deyang Xu ... Barbara Ann Halkier
    Phylogenetic and biochemical analyses reveals a shared evolutionary path between biosynthesis and transport of defense metabolites in plants.

    Epistatic mutations in PUMA BH3 drive an alternate binding mode to potently and selectively inhibit anti-apoptotic Bfl-1

    Justin M Jenson, Jeremy A Ryan ... Amy E Keating
    Short peptides that bind tightly to anti-apoptotic protein Bfl-1 but not other Bcl-2 family members provide a tool for diagnosing cancer cell survival mechanisms and a lead for developing new therapeutics.

    Machine learning-assisted elucidation of CD81–CD44 interactions in promoting cancer stemness and extracellular vesicle integrity

    Erika K Ramos, Chia-Feng Tsai ... Huiping Liu
    Machine learning-assisted experiments reveal CD81 as a novel binding partner of CD44 in driving cancer stemness, tumor cell clustering, and extracellular vesicle integrity in human and mouse breast cancer.

    Localized hypoxia within the subgranular zone determines the early survival of newborn hippocampal granule cells

    Christina Chatzi, Eric Schnell, Gary L Westbrook
    Neural progenitors reside in relative low oxygen in the subgranular zone (SGZ), and the higher tissue oxygen levels that these cells must face as they migrate away from the hypoxic areas and differentiate appear to cause oxidative damage and an early phase of cell death.

    Septal cholinergic input to CA2 hippocampal region controls social novelty discrimination via nicotinic receptor-mediated disinhibition

    Domenico Pimpinella, Valentina Mastrorilli ... Marilena Griguoli
    Acetylcholine, released from cholinergic fibers originating from the medial septum, shapes social memory, and controls the CA2 hippocampal circuit via nicotinic receptors localized on GABAergic interneurons.

    Accurate timekeeping is controlled by a cycling activator in Arabidopsis

    Polly Yingshan Hsu, Upendra K Devisetty, Stacey L Harmer
    The circadian clock in the model plant organism Arabidopsis thaliana is best described as a highly connected network made up of clock-regulated activators and repressors of transcription, rather than two coupled, repressor-based feedback loops.

    Oxytocin neurons mediate the effect of social isolation via the VTA circuits

    Stefano Musardo, Alessandro Contestabile ... Camilla Bellone
    Oxytocin neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus mediate the increased sociability as a consequence of acute social isolation during adolescence via ventral tegmental area circuits.

    HRI coordinates translation necessary for protein homeostasis and mitochondrial function in erythropoiesis

    Shuping Zhang, Alejandra Macias-Garcia ... Jane-Jane Chen
    The heme and HRI-mediated eIF2aP–ATF4 integrated stress response in erythropoiesis has a major global impact, especially under the stress condition of iron deficiency.
