A computational method based on optimal transport enables state-of-the-art alignment between untargeted metabolomic studies and is evaluated on cord blood and cancer datasets.
Preimplantation screening of embryos using polygenic risk scores may substantially reduce risk for a given complex disease, but this effect depends on several quantifiable factors and raises significant ethical issues.
Structural, functional, and genetic analyses reveal how kinesin-4 motor KLP-12 precisely modulates the curvature of the microtubule plus-end to inhibit the microtubule dynamics for achieving the proper length control of axons.
Stramenopiles are unusual, because the pay-off phase of glycolysis occurs in mitochondria rather than the cytosol and the identified mitochondrial carrier links the two parts by transporting glycolytic intermediates.
Fluorescent protein-based reporter mouse models revealed that thymic cooperative antigen transfer is mediated by preferential pairing between a particular thymic epithelial cell subset and specific subset(s) of thymic dendritic cells.

Kinesin-4 KIF21B combines a processive motor activity with two non-motor microtubule-binding domains and an autoregulatory region to induce pausing of microtubule plus ends.
Resting natural killer cells promote the progress of colon cancer liver metastasis (CCLM), which may be exploited for novel strategies to improve therapeutic outcomes for patients with CCLM.

Bacteria that resist direct complement-mediated killing by pores can still potently activate the complement system and trigger release of incomplete pores into human serum.
The acquisition of cytotoxic function by human CD4 T cells is an integral part of the T helper 1 differentiation pathway and is limited by the transcription factor ThPOK.

Obesogenic diet intake throughout adolescence impairs different types of memory through overactivation of specific hippocampal efferent pathways and targeting these overactive pathways has therapeutic potential.
