    DNA damage signaling in Drosophila macrophages modulates systemic cytokine levels in response to oxidative stress

    Fabian Hersperger, Tim Meyring ... Katrin Kierdorf
    Immune activation in Drosophila macrophages during oxidative stress is regulated by DNA damage signaling, which controls proinflammatory cytokine release and the susceptibility of the fly to oxidative stress.

    Interface-acting nucleotide controls polymerization dynamics at microtubule plus- and minus-ends

    Lauren A McCormick, Joseph M Cleary ... Luke M Rice
    Comparative measurements and simulations of microtubule plus and minus end growth with mixed nucleotides demonstrate that nucleotide acts across a tubulin:tubulin interface to influence microtubule stability and dynamics.

    Mechanical coupling coordinates microtubule growth

    Bonnibelle K Leeds, Katelyn F Kostello ... Charles L Asbury
    Microtubules grow at highly variable rates, but they can be tightly coordinated merely by coupling their tips to a single shared load.

    Apoptosis recognition receptors regulate skin tissue repair in mice

    Olivia Justynski, Kate Bridges ... Valerie Horsley
    After an injury to the skin, murine wounds upregulate apoptosis and efferocytosis pathways, which are required for effective healing and may similarly impact wound healing in diabetic patients.

    Regulation of pDC fate determination by histone deacetylase 3

    Yijun Zhang, Tao Wu ... Li Wu
    HDAC3 regulates the development of pDCs and maintenance of homeostasis of hematopoietic progenitors with dendritic cell (DC) differentiation potential, mechanistically by repressing cDC1 associated genes in a deacetylase-dependent manner.
