Prokaryotic TRADD-N and Death-like adaptor domains in diverse predicted apoptosis and immune systems from multicellular prokaryotes and metazoans indicate the common origin of key apoptosis mechanisms required for the stabilization of multicellularity.

Comprehensive scRNA-seq analysis of cardiac stromal cells in healthy and injured hearts reveals novel cell types and non-linear cell dynamics, providing new insights into cardiac inflammation, fibrosis and repair.

M1 alanyl aminopeptidase is chemically validated as an attractive antimalarial target by confirming the on-target activity of a novel selective inhibitor using chemoproteomics and metabolomics-based drug target deconvolution approaches.

A detailed characterizations of EDTA-treated Candida albicans cells both in vitro and pre-clinical models led to discovery of a potential live whole-cell vaccine against fungal infections.

The small macrophage-secreted protein RELMα is a sex-specific protein that protects against diet-induced obesity through regulating the macrophage–eosinophil innate immune axis in the adipose tissue.

Chondrocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells with the dysplasia-causing TRPV4 mutations, V620I and T89I mutation, were resistant to BMP4-induced hypertrophy, suggesting a mechanism underlying the effects of TRPV4 dysfunction on the severity of skeletal dysplasia.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing, spatial genomics, and histological analyses reveal that cold-induced brown adipose neogenesis is a complex adaptive response to elevated metabolic demand involving dynamic interactions between recruited immune cells and a subpopulation of poised adipocyte progenitors.

Stem cell-derived motor neurons with differential ALS vulnerability identified proteasome activity as a possible mechanism that explains their differential sensitivity.
