Analysis of the tumor microenvironment reveals that pancreatic tumors experience metabolic stress caused by immune cell degradation of the amino acid arginine, and that pancreatic cancers cope by synthesizing arginine to provide access this amino acid despite low tumor availability.

Molecular dynamics simulation assisted engineering of recombinant soluble human ACE2 N-glycosylation by site-directed mutagenesis or glycosidase treatment yields a superior SARS-CoV-2 decoy receptor.

fMRI evidence for distinct hierarchical alterations in intrinsic neural timescales for different positive symptoms of schizophrenia support hierarchical perceptual-inference models of psychosis and suggest local increases in excitation-inhibition ratio.

A class of interneuron is identified that promotes escape behavior downstream of nociceptor inputs via connections to nociceptive integrator and premotor networks.

Severely immunodeficient B2m-NOG mice transplanted with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells from multiple sclerosis patients partially reproduce disease immunopathology and represent novel experimental models for studying human immune responses to the central nervous system in a rapid and personalized manner.

During mouse preimplantation development, the complete loss of actomyosin contractility abolishes cytokinesis but not apico-basal polarisation, lineage specification, or fluid accumulation, which are the critical steps to the formation of the blastocyst.

Microfluidics and dynamic imaging allow systematic characterization of polarization kinetics in B lymphocytes and highlight the role of microtubules as master regulators of actin polymerization at the immune synapse.

ICAM-1 engagement controls hepatic cell polarity, but this receptor can also signal without prior leukocyte interaction, thanks to its confinement into apical, microvilli-enriched, bile-canalicular domains and its actin connector EBP50.

TANGO1 functions as a linactant filament to stabilize shallow COPII-coated buds, and after which membrane tension regulation, possibly mediated by TANGO1-controlled membrane fusion, facilitates bud elongation for procollagen export.

The ability to follow single objects in 3D in a living organism with high spatiotemporal resolution opens new possibilities for quantitative biophysical studies of complex systems in their physiological context.
