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.

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.
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 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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
