Intercellular interactions between fibrocytes and CD8⁺ T lymphocytes promote inflammation through a pathophysiological positive feedback loop in bronchi of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The helical bacterium Helicobacter pylori patterns cell wall synthesis using two distinct cytoskeletal proteins, CcmA and MreB, to achieve its characteristic shape.

Munc13 C-terminal domains synergize to coordinate synaptic vesicle docking, priming and fusion.

The damage of the bacterial cell envelope is found to be only a secondary effect of the antimicrobial activity of lactoferricin derivatives.

Detecting neural oscillations in time and frequency domains enables the detailed study of spatiotemporal dynamics of oscillations throughout the brain and the investigation of biomarkers that index functional brain areas.

Erythroid-enriched BMP2K kinase, in addition to its predicted function in endocytosis, regulates distribution and abundance of COPII assemblies and autophagic degradation through opposing actions of its two splicing variants.

The cryo-electron microscopy structures of inactive and active states of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) reveal the activation mechanisms of CaSR.

Arginine methylation regulates mRNA translation of key protooncogenes via an RGG/RG motif-containing protein called Aven.

A landmark-based cross-modality alignment method robust to variation in landmark sets is applied to annotate an EM time series of Caenorhabditis elegans embryonic development as a community resource.

Through different coding strategies, irregular and regular otolith afferents preferentially encode translational self-motion and changes in static head orientation relative to gravity.
