    The landscape of antibody binding affinity in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 evolution

    Alief Moulana, Thomas Dupic ... Michael M Desai
    The study of the interactions between 65,356 variants of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain and a panel of monoclonal antibodies shows that Omicron’s escape is driven by a small number of large effect mutations.

    Coordinated hedgehog signaling induces new hair follicles in adult skin

    Xiaoyan Sun, Alexandra Are ... Maria Kasper
    Hedgehog-pathway activation in adjacent epithelial and stromal cells, but not in epithelial or stromal cells alone, enables the generation of functional de novo hair follicles in unwounded adult mouse skin.

    A Permian fish reveals widespread distribution of neopterygian-like jaw suspension

    Thodoris Argyriou, Sam Giles, Matt Friedman
    μCT-aided study illuminates the cranial endoskeleton and interrelationships of the Permian actinopterygian †Brachydegma, which is now excluded from crown neopterygians despite exhibiting a double jaw joint.

    Giant extinct caiman breaks constraint on the axial skeleton of extant crocodylians

    Torsten M Scheyer, John R Hutchinson ... Marcelo R Sánchez-Villagra
    The giant caiman Purussaurus from the Miocene of Venezuela is the first recorded member of crown Crocodylia having three sacrals, thus breaking the otherwise strict vertebral constraint of the group.

    FRET-based dynamic structural biology: Challenges, perspectives and an appeal for open-science practices

    Eitan Lerner, Anders Barth ... Shimon Weiss
    A summary of the current “state-of-the-field” of single-molecule FRET used for probing biomolecular structural dynamics.

    Glutamine deprivation triggers NAGK-dependent hexosamine salvage

    Sydney Campbell, Clementina Mesaros ... Kathryn E Wellen
    Hexosamine salvage through the enzyme N-acetylglucosamine kinase is stimulated in nutrient-limited conditions and supports pancreatic tumor growth.

    Cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic mechanisms promote cell-type-specific cytokinetic diversity

    Tim Davies, Han X Kim ... Julie C Canman
    Functional molecular analysis of cytokinesis in Caenorhabditis elegans four-cell embryos reveals cell-type-specific variation in the fundamental dependence on a robust f-actin cytoskeleton for successful cell division, mediated by both cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic pathways.

    A Non-stop identity complex (NIC) supervises enterocyte identity and protects from premature aging

    Neta Erez, Lena Israitel ... Amir Orian
    A nuclear Non-stop identity complex (NIC) supervises enterocyte (EC) identity, preserves tissue homeostasis, and prevents premature aging by maintaining EC-specific gene expression, silencing non-relevant programs, and safeguarding large-scale nuclear organization.

    Differential expression of MAGEA6 toggles autophagy to promote pancreatic cancer progression

    Yiu Huen Tsang, Yumeng Wang ... Kenneth L Scott
    An unrecognized regulation on MAGEA protein stability promotes pancreatic cancer progression via manipulating autophagy and may impact the clinical utility of MAGEA-targeted immunotherapy.

    Most primary olfactory neurons have individually neutral effects on behavior

    Tayfun Tumkaya, Safwan Burhanudin ... Adam Claridge-Chang
    Of the 50 primary olfactory channels in vinegar flies, only 10 drive avoidance or approach behavior when activated by themselves, indicating that most olfactory responses are multi-channel responses that follow complex combination rules.
