    Plasmodium-infected erythrocytes induce secretion of IGFBP7 to form type II rosettes and escape phagocytosis

    Wenn-Chyau Lee, Bruce Russell ... Laurent Renia
    Plasmodium parasites use host-derived factors to form more rosettes and hamper phagocytosis, representing a new escape mechanism for the malaria parasites.

    Activation of the P2RX7/IL-18 pathway in immune cells attenuates lung fibrosis

    Serena Janho dit Hreich, Thierry Juhel ... Valerie Vouret-Craviari
    The use of a small activator of P2RX7 highlights the importance of the P2RX7 pathway to enhance the antifibrotic properties of lung immune cells.

    A tudor domain protein, SIMR-1, promotes siRNA production at piRNA-targeted mRNAs in C. elegans

    Kevin I Manage, Alicia K Rogers ... Carolyn Marie Phillips
    SIMR-1 acts downstream of the piRNA pathway to promote siRNA amplification by the Mutator complex and localizes to perinuclear foci distinct from Mutator foci, P granules and Z granules.

    Dengue viremia kinetics and effects on platelet count and clinical outcomes: An analysis of 2340 patients from Vietnam

    Nguyen Lam Vuong, Nguyen Than Ha Quyen ... Ronald Geskus
    Higher plasma viremia levels in early dengue and a slower subsequent decline are associated with worse clinical outcomes and provide valuable outcome measures for future therapeutic intervention trials.

    DNA deaminases induce break-associated mutation showers with implication of APOBEC3B and 3A in breast cancer kataegis

    Benjamin JM Taylor, Serena Nik-Zainal ... Michael S Neuberger
    Enzymes that remove amine groups from cytosine bases in DNA are likely involved in generating the clusters of mutations (kataegis) seen in breast cancer.

    A ‘double-edged’ role for type-5 metabotropic glutamate receptors in pain disclosed by light-sensitive drugs

    Serena Notartomaso, Nico Antenucci ... Volker Neugebauer
    Photopharmacological manipulations of mGlu5 receptors with light-sensitive negative allosteric modulators show brain region-specific roles in pain modulation and suggest that blockade of mGlu5 receptors in the amygdala may limit the overall analgesic activity of mGlu5 receptor antagonists.

    The genetic landscape for amyloid beta fibril nucleation accurately discriminates familial Alzheimer’s disease mutations

    Mireia Seuma, Andre J Faure ... Benedetta Bolognesi
    A massively parallel analysis of the effects of mutations on amyloid beta nucleation provide the first comprehensive atlas of how mutations alter the formation of amyloid fibrils.

    Arid1a restrains Kras-dependent changes in acinar cell identity

    Geulah Livshits, Direna Alonso-Curbelo ... Scott W Lowe
    Arid1a loss in the pancreas enables an irreversible reprogramming of cell fate that is dependent on both cellular and genetic context.

    Generation of endogenous pH-sensitive EGF receptor and its application in high-throughput screening for proteins involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis

    Mads Breum Larsen, Mireia Perez Verdaguer ... Alexander Sorkin
    CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing was used to generate a novel endogenous pH-sensitive EGF receptor chimera with the unique utility to study receptor endocytosis in a single-cell and high-throughput experimental formats.

    Functional genome-wide siRNA screen identifies KIAA0586 as mutated in Joubert syndrome

    Susanne Roosing, Matan Hofree ... Joseph G Gleeson
    A supervised learning approach on a high-content genome-wide siRNA screen has identified 591 likely candidates for ciliopathies and facilitated in the discovery of KIAA0586 mutations in individuals with Joubert syndrome.
