Discovery of new Snf1/AMPK targets in the TORC1 pathway highlights the complex, multilayered crosstalk between major signaling pathways in the regulation of nutrient deprivation sensing.

A chemical regularly used to image cells can dramatically alter the way cellular compartments called condensates look under the microscope.

A decline in iron-recycling functions of the splenic red pulp macrophages early during aging is driven by iron loading and involves their damage and a loss in red blood cell clearance capacity.

An essential role for ACAT in conferring 25HC-mediated protection against bacterial and viral infection has been uncovered.

Single-cell sequencing of the alveolar bone marrow of apical periodontitis reveals the cellular and molecular composition of the microenvironment and highlights an osteogenic potential within mesenchymal stem cells of inflammatory-related bone diseases.

N-terminal domain of dystroglycan enables like-acetylglucosaminyl transferase to elongate matriglycan on α-dystroglycan and prevent skeletal muscle pathophysiology.

Genome editing to insert a light-sensitive dimerization module directly into the EB1 microtubule plus end adaptor gene in human induced pluripotent stem cells enables local and acute optogenetic EB1 inactivation highlighting microtubule functions in developing neuronal growth cones.

The conformational switch of ABCG2 from the high substrate affinity inward-facing to a low substrate affinity outward-facing state is induced by nucleotide binding and accelerated by transported substrates.

Early IFN-I response dynamics are initiated in only fractions of cells, of which their epigenetic profile is transiently heritable and subject to the effects of quorum sensing.

Ultrastructural analysis of optogenetically stimulated inner hair cell ribbon synapses reveals normally sized synaptic vesicles and enhanced vesicle docking at the active zone membrane.
