    Reprogramming of host energy metabolism mediated by the TNF-iNOS-HIF-1α axis plays a key role in host resistance to Plasmodium infection

    Kely Catarine Matteucci, Nathalia PS Leite ... Ricardo T Gazzinelli
    TNF-driven metabolic reprogramming enhances glucose utilization in monocytes through inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), promoting parasite control and host resistance during Plasmodium infection.

    In-cell cryo-electron tomography reveals differential effects of type I and type II kinase inhibitors on LRRK2 filament formation and microtubule association

    Tamar Basiashvili, Joshua Hutchings ... Elizabeth Villa
    Type I and type II inhibitors differentially affect LRRK2 filament formation around microtubules, revealing an important consideration for Parkinson’s disease drug development.

    CROP2, a Retriever–PROPPIN complex mediating protein export from endosomes to the plasma membrane in human cells

    Maria Giovanna De Leo, Andreas Mayer
    Endosomes operate several exit routes that sort protein cargo and depend on pathway-specific associations of a PROPPIN with the responsible protein coat, such as the here identified CROP2, to support the departure of the cargo carriers.

    Structural dynamics of IRE1 and its interaction with unfolded peptides

    Elena Spinetti, Grzegorz Ścibisz ... Roberto Covino
    A unified structural model of IRE1 activation reconciles conflicting sensing theories by characterizing specific peptide-binding sites and the mechanism by which BiP regulates oligomerization during the unfolded protein response.

    The population structure of invasive Lantana camara is shaped by its mating system

    P Praveen, Rajesh Gopal, Uma Ramakrishnan
    Invasive Lantana camara exhibits strong genetic structure, unlike many invasive species, likely driven by predominant self-fertilization across its invasive range rather than the presence of multiple species.

    Large-scale synthetic data enable digital twins of human excitable cells

    Pei-Chi Yang, Mao-Tsuen Jeng ... Colleen E Clancy
    Large-scale synthetic datasets enable construction of digital twins of individual human excitable cells from a single voltage-clamp recording.

    Two time scales of adaptation in human learning rates

    Jonas Simoens, Senne Braem ... Tom Verguts
    Humans adapt learning rates on both a fast and a slow time scale, and the central orbitofrontal cortex may represent the slow time scale.

    Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli-mediated fast and coordinated Ca²+ responses regulate NF-κB activation

    Fangrui Guo, Roberto Ornelas Guevara ... Guy Tran Van Nhieu
    Through low levels of extracellular ATP, EPEC induces small, rapid and coordinated Ca2+ responses in epithelial cells, a yet unreported pattern, that down-regulate inflammation at the onset of infection.

    Single-cell characterization of anterior segment development in the mouse reveals the cell types, pathways, and signals driving formation of the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm’s canal

    Revathi Balasubramanian, Nicholas Tolman ... Simon WM John
    High-resolution single-cell transcriptomics reveals the molecular programs and signaling networks driving Schlemm's canal and trabecular meshwork development, establishing a foundation for understanding glaucoma pathogenesis.

    Quantitative computerized analysis demonstrates strongly compartmentalized tissue deformation patterns underlying mammalian heart tube formation

    Morena Raiola, Miquel Sendra Sendra ... Miguel Torres
    A computational pipeline leverages mammalian heart development videos to extract tissue deformation patterns and generate a virtual fate map tool that provides new insights into cardiac morphogenesis.
