    CryoEM structures of Kv1.2 potassium channels, conducting and non-conducting

    Yangyu Wu, Yangyang Yan ... Fred J Sigworth
    The well-studied Kv1.2 potassium ion channel is observed in a variety of states and conditions, to understand mechanisms of ion permeation, gating and block.

    Mechanism of dimer selectivity and binding cooperativity of BRAF inhibitors

    Joseph Clayton, Aarion Romany ... Jana Shen
    BRAF inhibitors achieve monomer or dimer selectivity through their ability to modulate dimerization and allosteric communication.

    Non-destructive in situ monitoring of structural changes of 3D tumor spheroids during the formation, migration, and fusion process

    Ke Ning, Yuanyuan Xie ... Ling Yu
    A piece of first-surface mirror for side-view observation enables non-destructive in situ monitoring of structural changes of 3D tumor spheroids during the formation, migration, and fusion process.

    Ezrin defines TSC complex activation at endosomal compartments through EGFR–AKT signaling

    Giuliana Giamundo, Daniela Intartaglia ... Ivan Conte
    Ezrin controls endo-lysosomal signaling by maintaining TSC inhibition through EGFR signaling, activating mTORC1, and inhibiting lysosomal function, unveiling a critical endosome–lysosome network essential for autophagy and cellular homeostasis.

    Pharmacologic activation of integrated stress response kinases inhibits pathologic mitochondrial fragmentation

    Kelsey R Baron, Samantha Oviedo ... R Luke Wiseman
    Compounds that activate integrated stress response kinases inhibit mitochondrial fragmentation induced by chemical or genetic insults, indicating that targeting this pathway offers opportunities to mitigate mitochondrial fragmentation in diverse diseases.

    SERBP1 interacts with PARP1 and is present in PARylation-dependent protein complexes regulating splicing, cell division, and ribosome biogenesis

    Kira Breunig, Xuifen Lei ... Luiz O Penalva
    SERBP1 is associate with protein complexes regulating splicing, cell division, and ribosomal biogenesis that likely depend on G quadruplex (G4) binding and polyADP-ribosylation (PARylation) for their assembly and function.

    A molecular proximity sensor based on an engineered, dual-component guide RNA

    Junhong Choi, Wei Chen ... Jay Shendure
    In P3 editing, molecular interactions are sensed and converted directly into genome editing events, which may be useful for biological recording and synthetic molecular circuits deployed in living cells.
    1. Neuroscience

    Brain areas for reversible symbolic reference, a potential singularity of the human brain

    Timo van Kerkoerle, Louise Pape ... Ghislaine Dehaene-Lambertz
    Humans spontaneously reverse learned associations while macaque monkeys do not, providing a minimal test of a distinctive human capacity for symbolic representations.

    Interleukin-1 prevents SARS-CoV-2-induced membrane fusion to restrict viral transmission via induction of actin bundles

    Xu Zheng, Shi Yu ... Guangxun Meng
    Interleukin-1 activates RhoA/ROCK signaling, which drives the enrichment of actin bundles at the cell-cell junctions, preventing SARS-CoV-2 spreading via syncytia formation.
