    A phenotype-based forward genetic screen identifies Dnajb6 as a sick sinus syndrome gene

    Yonghe Ding, Di Lang ... Xiaolei Xu
    Dnajb6 is identified as a novel sick sinus syndrome causative gene that exhibits a unique expression pattern within a subpopulation of sinus node pacemaker cells.

    Retinoic acid-induced protein 14 controls dendritic spine dynamics associated with depressive-like behaviors

    Soo Jeong Kim, Youngsik Woo ... Sang Ki Park
    Rai14-Tara complex enhances the stability of dendritic spines and synaptic connections relevant to depressive-like behaviors.

    ACE2 is the critical in vivo receptor for SARS-CoV-2 in a novel COVID-19 mouse model with TNF- and IFNγ-driven immunopathology

    Riem Gawish, Philipp Starkl ... Sylvia Knapp
    Only three Spike mutations enable murine SARS-CoV-2 infection, which is still strictly ACE2 dependent and causes a COVID-19-like disease in mice with immunopathology-driven lung damage.

    HIF-1α is required for disturbed flow-induced metabolic reprogramming in human and porcine vascular endothelium

    David Wu, Ru-Ting Huang ... Gökhan M Mutlu
    Hemodynamic forces regulate endothelial cell metabolism, which in turn regulates endothelial inflammation.

    3,6’-dithiopomalidomide reduces neural loss, inflammation, behavioral deficits in brain injury and microglial activation

    Chih-Tung Lin, Daniela Lecca ... Nigel H Greig
    The new drug 3,6’-dithiopomalidomide mitigates key markers of neuronal death and neuroinflammation and improves acute behavioral outcome measures in traumatic brain injury, a common, debilitating disorder that lacks effective treatment.

    Intercollicular commissural connections refine the representation of sound frequency and level in the auditory midbrain

    Llwyd David Orton, Adrian Rees
    Deactivation of one side of the auditory midbrain while recording in the other shows that the two sides cooperate in processing frequency and in enhancing the encoding of sound level.

    Longitudinal transcriptional changes reveal genes from the natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity pathway as critical players underlying COVID-19 progression

    Matias A Medina, Francisco Fuentes-Villalobos ... Maria Ines Barria
    Longitudinal transcriptomic analysis of unvaccinated patients reveals that early NK cell cytotoxicity activation distinguishes mild from severe COVID-19, supporting the relevance of concerted innate–adaptive immune responses against the virus.

    Novel risk loci for COVID-19 hospitalization among admixed American populations

    Silvia Diz-de Almeida, Raquel Cruz ... Ángel Carracedo
    Genetic association analyses in Latin American individuals revealed two additional loci associated with COVID-19 that were not previously found in other population groups.

    Innate lymphoid cells and COVID-19 severity in SARS-CoV-2 infection

    Noah J Silverstein, Yetao Wang ... Jeremy Luban
    Homeostatic innate lymphoid cell abundance, adjusted for age and sex, correlates inversely with COVID-19 severity in adults and children.

    Concentration-dependent mortality of chloroquine in overdose

    James A Watson, Joel Tarning ... Nicholas J White
    Most chloroquine regimens trialled for the treatment of COVID19 will not result in life-threatening cardiovascular toxicity.
