    ATAD2 mediates chromatin-bound histone chaperone turnover

    Ariadni Liakopoulou, Fayçal Boussouar ... Saadi Khochbin
    ATAD2 orchestrates histone turnover during spermatogenesis, regulating H3.3 deposition, chromatin condensation, and genome packaging to ensure proper sperm genome organization and transcriptional control.

    Identification of a sub-population of synovial mesenchymal stem cells with enhanced treatment efficacy in a rat model of osteoarthritis

    Nedaa Al-Jezani, Asmaa Affan ... Roman J Krawetz
    CD47Hi synovial mesenchymal stem cells are identified as a functionally distinct sub-population that regenerates articular cartilage and reduces osteoarthritis severity in a preclinical joint injury model.

    Single-cell profiling of trabecular meshwork identifies mitochondrial dysfunction in a glaucoma model that is protected by vitamin B3 treatment

    Nicholas Tolman, Taibo Li ... Simon WM John
    Single-cell transcriptomics identifies three discrete mouse trabecular meshwork subtypes and demonstrates that an Lmx1b glaucoma mutation drives mitochondrial dysfunction and elevated intraocular pressure, which is lessened by vitamin B3 supplementation.

    GMCL1 controls 53BP1 stability and modulates taxane sensitivity

    Yuki Kito, Tania J González-Robles ... Michele Pagano
    GMCL1-dependent degradation of 53BP1 suppresses mitotic surveillance, tuning p53 activation thresholds that govern cell fate decisions and cellular responses after mitosis.

    A high-resolution analysis of arrestin2 interactions responsible for CCR5 endocytosis

    Ivana Petrovic, Samit Desai ... Stephan Grzesiek
    Formation and stability of endocytic receptor-arrestin complexes during clathrin-mediated endocytosis are governed by phosphorylation-dependent arrestin-AP2 interactions.

    Targeted computational design of an interleukin-7 superkine with enhanced folding efficiency and immunotherapeutic efficacy

    See-Khai Lim, Wen-Ching Lin ... Kurt Yun Mou
    Targeted computational redesign of an IL-7 superkine with enhanced folding efficiency and receptor affinity demonstrates superior immune-stimulatory and antitumor activity over wild-type IL-7.

    Glial betaPix is essential for blood vessel development in the zebrafish brain

    Shihching Chiu, Qinchao Zhou ... Jing-Wei Xiong
    The glial-specific role of betaPix during cerebral blood vessel development has been revealed by establishing a new betaPix conditional trap allele in zebrafish.

    Stratification of viral shedding patterns in saliva of COVID-19 patients

    Hyeongki Park, Yoshimura Raiki ... Taiga Miyazaki
    Distinct patterns of SARS-CoV-2 viral dynamics in saliva reveal heterogeneity that cannot be sufficiently explained by conventional clinical characteristics or microRNA profiles alone.
