    Changes in local mineral homeostasis facilitate the formation of benign and malignant testicular microcalcifications

    Ida Marie Boisen, Nadia Krarup Knudsen ... Martin Blomberg Jensen
    Testicular microcalcifications arise secondary to local alterations in mineral homeostasis, which in combination with impaired Sertoli cell function and reduced levels of mineralization inhibitors facilitate deposition of hydroxyapatite.

    RAS–p110α signalling in macrophages is required for effective inflammatory response and resolution of inflammation

    Alejandro Rosell, Agata Adelajda Krygowska ... Esther Castellano Sanchez
    Disruption of RAS–p110α signalling in macrophages impairs both the initiation and resolution of inflammatory responses, revealing a critical regulatory role in immune function and inflammation control.

    Molecular mapping and functional validation of GLP-1R cholesterol binding sites in pancreatic beta cells

    Affiong Ika Oqua, Kin Chao ... Alejandra Tomas
    Islet cholesterol levels determine GLP-1R function, with several cholesterol-binding sites mapped in active vs inactive receptors and one, containing Val229, shown to control GLP-1R behaviour in beta cell models.

    Pyruvate and related energetic metabolites modulate resilience against high genetic risk for glaucoma

    Keva Li, Nicholas Tolman ... UK Biobank Eye and Vision Consortium
    Pyruvate and related metabolites are linked to reduced glaucoma risk among genetically predisposed individuals and mitigate disease in a mouse model, highlighting a potential metabolic mechanism of resilience.

    Cell crowding activates pro-invasive mechanotransduction pathway in high-grade DCIS via TRPV4 inhibition and cell volume reduction

    Xiangning Bu, Nathanael Ashby ... Inhee Chung
    Cell crowding drives a pro-invasive mechanotransduction pathway in high-grade DCIS, inducing TRPV4 inhibition, calcium and cell volume reduction, and increased invasion, with compensatory plasma-membrane TRPV4 relocation indicating pathway activation.

    Breast Cancer: How cell crowding causes cancer cells to spread

    Rui Hua, Jean X Jiang
    Cell crowding causes high-grade breast cancer cells to become more invasive by activating a molecular switch that causes the cells to shrink and spread.

    Targeting IRE1α improves insulin sensitivity and thermogenesis and suppresses metabolically active adipose tissue macrophages in male obese mice

    Dan Wu, Venkateswararao Eeda ... Weidong Wang
    Diet-induced obesity, insulin resistance, and proinflammatory macrophage activation and accumulation in adipose tissue can be counteracted through the inhibition of ER stress sensor IRE1alpha.
