   The CD4 transmembrane GGXXG and juxtamembrane (C/F)CV+C motifs mediate pMHCII-specific signaling independently of CD4-LCK interactions

   Mark S Lee, Peter J Tuohy ... Michael S Kuhns

   Evolution-guided structure-function analyses reveal that CD4 transmembrane and intracellular juxtamembrane motifs play a more profound role in initiating pMHCII-specific TCR-CD3 signaling than previously characterized CD4-Lck interactions.

   Evolution and diversity of biomineralized columnar architecture in early Cambrian phosphatic-shelled brachiopods

   Zhiliang Zhang, Zhifei Zhang ... Guoxiang Li

   Columnar architectures, developed in early Cambrian phosphatic-shelled brachiopods, are highly biologically controlled and organic-matrix mediated, which sheds new light on the evolution and adaptation of biomineralization during the Cambrian explosion.
