    Subretinal mononuclear phagocytes induce cone segment loss via IL-1β

    Chiara M Eandi, Hugo Charles Messance ... Florian Sennlaub
    IL-1β release from macrophages might be responsible for the unexplained cone segment loss in retinal degenerative diseases that are associated with subretinal inflammation, such as retinitis pigmentosa or geographic atrophy.

    Viral RNA switch mediates the dynamic control of flavivirus replicase recruitment by genome cyclization

    Zhong-Yu Liu, Xiao-Feng Li ... Cheng-Feng Qin
    A conserved element in the flavivirus genomic 5′ terminus switches its conformation in response to long-range RNA interactions, and thereby regulates the dynamic recruitment of viral replicase for efficient viral RNA replication.

    Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 viral entry upon blocking N- and O-glycan elaboration

    Qi Yang, Thomas A Hughes ... Sriram Neelamegham
    A critical role for glycosylation on viral entry and methods to use this knowledge to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infectivity has been demonstrated.

    A CD4+ T cell reference map delineates subtype-specific adaptation during acute and chronic viral infections

    Massimo Andreatta, Ariel Tjitropranoto ... Santiago J Carmona
    Description of the transcriptional and clonal landscape of virus-specific CD4+ T cells in acute and chronic viral infections, and a new reference map to interpret CD4 T cell diversity across tissues and biological models.

    Repressive H3K9me2 protects lifespan against the transgenerational burden of COMPASS activity in C. elegans

    Teresa Wei-sy Lee, Heidi Shira David ... David John Katz
    The transgenerational inheritance of lifespan is facilitated by the accumulation of repressive chromatin across generations.

    Late-life restoration of mitochondrial function reverses cardiac dysfunction in old mice

    Ying Ann Chiao, Huiliang Zhang ... Peter Rabinovitch
    Mitochondrial-targeted SS-31 peptide ameliorates mitochondrial dysfunction and rescues pre-existing cardiac dysfunction in old mice, supporting the translational potential of mitochondrial protective interventions to treat age-related diseases.

    Cancer-associated TERT promoter mutations abrogate telomerase silencing

    Kunitoshi Chiba, Joshua Z Johnson ... Dirk Hockemeyer
    TERT promoter mutations impair TERT silencing upon cellular differentiation and are sufficient to facilitate cellular immortalization without additional tumor selected changes, explaining why they are associated with a very specific tumor spectrum.

    The kinetoplastid-infecting Bodo saltans virus (BsV), a window into the most abundant giant viruses in the sea

    Christoph M Deeg, Cheryl-Emiliane T Chow, Curtis A Suttle
    Bodo saltans virus defines the most abundant giant viruses in the ocean and highlights the genomic plasticity, rooted in evolutionary arms races, that gave rise to giant viruses.
