    Heparan sulfate-dependent RAGE oligomerization is indispensable for pathophysiological functions of RAGE

    Miaomiao Li, Chih Yean Ong ... Ding Xu
    Heparan sulfate-RAGE interaction is essential for normal function of RAGE in osteoclastogenesis and drug-induced liver damage, which can be targeted to curb RAGE activation as a new opportunity.

    Fibrosis: How collagen becomes ‘stiff’

    Rebecca G Wells
    Oxidative stress following a lung injury can alter the structure of collagen, causing it to stiffen and trigger the formation of a fibrotic scar that further hardens the tissue.

    Pseudohypoxic HIF pathway activation dysregulates collagen structure-function in human lung fibrosis

    Christopher J Brereton, Liudi Yao ... Mark G Jones
    Oxygen-independent (pseudohypoxic) HIF pathway activation is a core determinant of dysregulated collagen-structure function in human fibrosis.

    Visualizing cellular and tissue ultrastructure using Ten-fold Robust Expansion Microscopy (TREx)

    Hugo GJ Damstra, Boaz Mohar ... Paul W Tillberg
    Ten-fold Robust Expansion Microscopy (TREx) is a new method for 10-fold physical expansion of specimens in one round of gel embedding, enabling nanoscale imaging of antibody stains and ultrastructural detail.

    A genetic compensatory mechanism regulated by Jun and Mef2d modulates the expression of distinct class IIa Hdacs to ensure peripheral nerve myelination and repair

    Sergio Velasco-Aviles, Nikiben Patel ... Hugo Cabedo
    Myelin generation during development and nerve regeneration is guaranteed by responsive backup circuits that coordinate class IIa HDACs to repress the expression of negative regulators of myelination and permit Schwann cell differentiation in response to cAMP.

    Reversing chemorefraction in colorectal cancer cells by controlling mucin secretion

    Gerard Cantero-Recasens, Josune Alonso-Marañón ... Vivek Malhotra
    Genetic analysis and biochemical approaches reveal that chemorefractory properties are reversed by inhibiting mucin secretion, thus providing a means to curb the growth and spread of colorectal cancer.

    Vaccine-induced COVID-19 mimicry syndrome

    Eric Kowarz, Lea Krutzke ... Rolf Marschalek
    The Spike gene expressed by the vector-based vaccine Vaxzevria bears the risk of cryptic splicing, which in turn may lead to cellular production of soluble, instead of membrane-anchored, Spike protein variants.

    Eco1-dependent cohesin acetylation anchors chromatin loops and cohesion to define functional meiotic chromosome domains

    Rachael E Barton, Lucia F Massari ... Adèle L Marston
    Meiotic recombination and chromosome segregation require the establishment of chromatin boundaries by the acetyltransferase Eco1, which anchors both chromatin loops and cohesion.
