Height in early adulthood is an indicator that integrates across different dimensions of sustainable human development with links to health and longevity, nutrition, education and economic productivity.

A forward genetic screen in Caenorhabditis elegans identifies a secreted host protein that ensures proper microsporidia spore orientation, resulting in efficient invasion of intestinal cells.

New methods reveal that complex local splicing variations are more prevalent in animals than previously appreciated, and demonstrate that local splicing variations are relevant for studies of development, gene regulation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Modulation of dermal adipocytes contributes to skin homeostasis and provides a promising new therapeutic strategy in the treatment of EGFRI-related skin disorders.

An iterative self-assembling algorithm identifies the intrinsic structures in single-cell transcriptomic data and helps to discover new cell populations that are undetectable by existing methods.

SPRRs are bactericidal proteins, stimulated in the sebaceous gland by lipopolysaccharide, that defend the host against infection through bacterial membrane binding and disruption.

Strongly protective effect conferred by the Dantu blood group variant against early, non-clinical, Plasmodium falciparum malaria infections in vivo.

The ability of the therapeutic glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist liraglutide to promote weight loss is partly dependent on signaling via PKA-dependent phosphorylation of the mTORC1 regulator protein Raptor.

The nearly complete architecture of the gigantic 90S precursor of small ribosomal subunit is determined by cryo-EM.

Salinamide A exerts antibacterial activity by binding to the bridge-helix cap of bacterial RNA polymerase and allosterically inhibiting nucleotide addition
