The perception of endogenous RALF signaling peptides modulates the plasma membrane nanoscale organization of receptor kinases to regulate plant immune signaling.

The ZP is a viscoelastic ECM that provides stability for contacts between projections from the innermost cumulus cells and oocyte microvilli that pass through the ZP and form gap junctions shown to be essential for oocyte growth and follicle development.

The cargo adapter ARMC2 mediates the association of radial spoke complexes to IFT trains ensuring radial spoke import and assembly in Chlamydomonas flagella.

Sorting nexin 9, a membrane curvature inducing protein, creates a distinct environment within clusters of the co-receptor CD28 and thereby allows T cell activation to proceed to a successful outcome.

Single-molecule analysis of SARS-CoV-2 RNA identifies significant heterogeneity in cellular viral RNA levels and highlights slower replication kinetics for the Alpha variant compared to the Victoria strain.

Biochemical, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses reveal that protein arginine methyltransferases post-transcriptionally regulate intron detention—introns that persist in nuclear polyadenylated RNA—through methylation of RNA splicing and processing factors.

The crosstalk between autophagy and the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, two cellular clearance pathways, promotes the fusion of the double-membrane autophagosomes to the phagosomes and plays an important role in the degradation of engulfed apoptotic cells.

An acetyl-CoA-mediated metabolic and epigenetic network has been elucidated that stimulates histone acetylation and anti-oxidative stress gene expression for heart repair after myocardial infarction.

Tools and methodologies to create and diversify recombinant antibodies and antibody fragments provide researchers with the ability to generate low-cost, high-yield immunological reagents.

Cryo-electron tomography of close-to-native rod outer segments resolves connectors between disks and a scaffold at the disk rim enforcing the high membrane curvature of the unique long-range organization in these rhodopsin-rich light-sensitive subcellular organelles.
