    Multiple sources of slow activity fluctuations in a bacterial chemosensory network

    Remy Colin, Christelle Rosazza ... Victor Sourjik
    Single-cell FRET measurements reveal large temporal activity fluctuations within this signaling pathway in Escherichia coli, caused by stochasticity of receptor methylation combined with allosteric interactions and slow rearrangements within receptor clusters.

    Deep generative models for T cell receptor protein sequences

    Kristian Davidsen, Branden J Olson ... Frederick A Matsen IV
    Deep learning improves estimation of T cell receptor cohort frequencies and learns the rules of VDJ recombination, potentially making it helpful for vaccine design.

    SPOP mutation leads to genomic instability in prostate cancer

    Gunther Boysen, Christopher E Barbieri ... Mark A Rubin
    SPOP mutations underlie a novel, genomically unstable subclass of prostate cancer by altering DNA repair.

    The recycling endosome protein Rab25 coordinates collective cell movements in the zebrafish surface epithelium

    Patrick Morley Willoughby, Molly Allen ... Ashley EE Bruce
    Rab25a and Rab25b mutant embryos exhibit epithelial spreading delays during morphogenesis and are characterized by cytokinesis defects leading to cell fusions, heterogeneous epithelial cell sizes, and reduced cortical actomyosin contractility.

    Self-organized patterning of cell morphology via mechanosensitive feedback

    Natalie A Dye, Marko Popović ... Frank Jülicher
    Radial patterns of cell morphology in the Drosophila larval wing emerge through mechanosensitive dynamics of cell polarity.

    Patterned cortical tension mediated by N-cadherin controls cell geometric order in the Drosophila eye

    Eunice HoYee Chan, Pruthvi Chavadimane Shivakumar ... Pierre-François Lenne
    N-cadherin at heterotypic contacts controls the level and asymmetric localisation of Myosin-II motor, thereby influencing cell shapes and cell packing.

    Integron activity accelerates the evolution of antibiotic resistance

    Célia Souque, José Antonio Escudero, R Craig MacLean
    Integrons deploy a variety of adaptive strategies including excision, shuffling, and duplication of cassettes that foster rapid bacterial adaptation and resistance evolution while protecting the genomic integrity of the host.

    Distinct T-cell receptor (TCR) gene segment usage and MHC-restriction between foetal and adult thymus

    Jasmine Rowell, Ching-In Lau ... Tessa Crompton
    The foetal thymic T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire is distinct from adult, and it is less governed by MHC-restriction, more closely encoded by genomic sequence with distinct gene-segment usage including 3’TRAV to 5’TRAJ.

    RAG1 and RAG2 non-core regions are implicated in leukemogenesis and off-target V(D)J recombination in BCR-ABL1-driven B-cell lineage lymphoblastic leukemia

    Xiaozhuo Yu, Wen Zhou ... Yanhong Ji
    Non-core RAG regions, especially RAG1, maintain V(D)J recombination accuracy and genomic stability, reducing malignant characteristics and off-target recombination in BCR-ABL1+ B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

    Somatic hypermutation of T cell receptor α chain contributes to selection in nurse shark thymus

    Jeannine A Ott, Caitlin D Castro ... Michael F Criscitiello
    Shark's T cells suggest plasticity in diversification mechanisms used by vertebrate lymphocytes, including somatic hypermutation in the thymus.
