The TRPV1, TRPV2 and TRPV3 channels are gated on the cytosolic side of the pore, whereas structural changes in the ion selectivity filter associated with activation don't control cation access.
Biochemical and structural investigations of the human tRNA ligase complex reveal the details of its molecular assembly and provide insights into the reaction mechanism of its catalytic subunit.

Electrophysiology, optogenetics, and imaging in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome reveals dentate gyrus circuit dysfunction driven by hyperexcitability of the perforant path input from entorhinal cortex that can be modulated by recruitment of parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory interneurons.
Eutherian CD4 evolved counterbalancing motifs in the extracellular, transmembrane, and intracellular domains that regulate CD4+ T cell responses to peptide antigens presented by class II MHC (pMHCII).

Sequencing mRNA from thousands of single cells from the Drosophila brain highlights the extent of cellular diversity and reveals co-expression of specific neuropeptides with particular fast-acting neurotransmitters and monoamines.

When neurons are stimulated, calcium entry into mitochondria upregulates mitochondrial energy production, but glycolytic energy production in the cytosol is stimulated by elevated energy demand, not Ca2+ signaling.

The transition of Staphylococcus aureus from commensalism to invasive disease, bacteraemia, is a complex balancing act offsetting offensive and defensive virulence strategies involving the Tca cell wall stress stimulon locus.
