    SWELL1 regulates skeletal muscle cell size, intracellular signaling, adiposity and glucose metabolism

    Ashutosh Kumar, Litao Xie ... Rajan Sah
    LRRC8A is an essential component of a mechanoresponsive ion channel signaling complex that tunes skeletal muscle differentiation, muscle cell size, function and metabolic pathways to regulate adiposity and systemic glycemia.

    Antimicrobial activity of iron-depriving pyoverdines against human opportunistic pathogens

    Vera Vollenweider, Karoline Rehm ... Rolf Kümmerli
    Iron-chelating pyoverdines from environmental Pseudomonas spp. show promising antibacterial activity against key human pathogens through the induction of iron starvation, while associated toxicity for host systems remains low.

    A receptor-like kinase mutant with absent endodermal diffusion barrier displays selective nutrient homeostasis defects

    Alexandre Pfister, Marie Barberon ... Niko Geldner
    The SCHENGEN3 protein is needed for the progression of isolated microdomains into a continuous band, which is necessary for the establishment of the major extracellular diffusion barrier in plant roots: the Casparian strip.

    Prioritizing plant defence over growth through WRKY regulation facilitates infestation by non-target herbivores

    Ran Li, Jin Zhang ... Yonggen Lou
    A chewing herbivore induced WRKY transcription factor induces jasmonate-dependent defences and supresses gibbererellin-dependent growth, the latter of which renders rice plants more susceptible to secondary infestation by a piercing-sucking herbivore.

    Multiple tumor suppressors regulate a HIF-dependent negative feedback loop via ISGF3 in human clear cell renal cancer

    Lili Liao, Zongzhi Z Liu ... Haifeng Yang
    Major secondary tumor suppressors in kidney cancer are required to maintain the activity of a tumor suppressive transcription factor after the loss of the primary tumor suppressor VHL.

    A parasitic fungus employs mutated eIF4A to survive on rocaglate-synthesizing Aglaia plants

    Mingming Chen, Naoyoshi Kumakura ... Shintaro Iwasaki
    Secondary metabolites rocaglates produced by plants lead to a plant‒fungus tug-of-war, utilizing unique amino acid substitutions in eIF4A, a target of the compounds.

    Spatial control of irreversible protein aggregation

    Christoph Weber, Thomas Michaels, L Mahadevan
    A theoretical basis for the spatial regulation of protein aggregation shows how aggregates can partition preferentially into intracellular liquid compartments.

    Macrophage innate training induced by IL-4 and IL-13 activation enhances OXPHOS driven anti-mycobacterial responses

    Mimmi LE Lundahl, Morgane Mitermite ... Ed C Lavelle
    Type 2 cytokines induce macrophage innate training, where enhanced pro-inflammatory responses are fuelled by oxidative phosphorylation rather than aerobic glycolysis.

    Flavodiiron proteins 1–to-4 function in versatile combinations in O2 photoreduction in cyanobacteria

    Anita Santana-Sanchez, Daniel Solymosi ... Yagut Allahverdiyeva
    In vivo evidence is provided indicating that Flv2/Flv4, together with Flv1/Flv3, mediate O2 photoreduction downstream of PSI in a highly coordinated manner.
