    Maturation and detoxification of synphilin-1 inclusion bodies regulated by sphingolipids

    Xiuling Cao, Xiang Wu ... Beidong Liu
    Membrane lipids are involved in the maturation and cytotoxicity of Parkinson's synphilin-1 inclusion bodies.

    Decoding the physics of observed actions in the human brain

    Moritz F Wurm, Doruk Yiğit Erigüç
    Inferior parietal and lateral occipitotemporal cortex encode the effects of actions at an abstract level of representation, independently of the body movements that induce them.

    Mediator kinase inhibition suppresses hyperactive interferon signaling in Down syndrome

    Kira A Cozzolino, Lynn Sanford ... Dylan J Taatjes
    The Mediator-associated kinases CDK8 and CDK19 help drive inflammatory responses to interferon, and it is discovered that kinase-dependent transcriptional responses manifest in part through splicing changes and lipid metabolites.

    Flexibility in PAM recognition expands DNA targeting in xCas9

    Kazi A Hossain, Lukasz Nierzwicki ... Giulia Palermo
    xCas9's ability to recognise diverse DNA sequences stems from structural flexibility in the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM)-interacting cleft and adaptability to PAM-induced conformational changes, paving the way for advanced genome editing tools.

    Multimodal mismatch responses in mouse auditory cortex

    Magdalena Solyga, Georg B Keller
    Audiomotor mismatch responses in auditory cortex are amplified by concurrent visuomotor mismatches, highlighting non-hierarchical and multimodal processing of prediction errors.

    Serum metabolome indicators of early childhood development in the Brazilian National Survey on Child Nutrition (ENANI-2019)

    Marina Padilha, Victor Nahuel Keller ... Gilberto Kac
    A panel of serum biomarkers, including dietary and microbial-derived metabolites related to the gut-brain axis, were identified as potential for tracking children at risk of early childhood developmental delays.

    Il-6 signaling exacerbates hallmarks of chronic tendon disease by stimulating reparative fibroblasts

    Tino Stauber, Greta Moschini ... Jess G Snedeker
    IL-6 signaling drives fibroblast activation in tendinopathy, emerging as a promising therapeutic target for these increasingly prevalent and costly tendon conditions.

    Artesunate, EDTA, and colistin work synergistically against MCR-negative and -positive colistin-resistant Salmonella

    Yajun Zhai, Peiyi Liu ... Gongzheng Hu
    The combination therapy of colistin, artesunate, and EDTA could serve as a promising approach to combat colistin-resistant Salmonella infections by disrupting bacterial membranes, collapsing proton motive force, and increasing reactive oxygen species levels.

    Akkermansia muciniphila identified as key strain to alleviate gut barrier injury through Wnt signaling pathway

    Xin Ma, Meng Li ... Xinyan Han
    FMT alleviated the intestinal barrier damage caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection in antibiotic-induced microbiome-disordered model through increasing the relative abundance of A. muciniphila in the intestine.

    The Mycobacterium ulcerans toxin mycolactone causes destructive Sec61-dependent loss of the endothelial glycocalyx and vessel basement membrane to drive skin necrosis

    Louise Tzung-Harn Hsieh, Belinda S Hall ... Rachel E Simmonds
    The secreted toxin mycolactone has severe effects on the cells lining blood vessels that will play a critical role in the development of swelling in Buruli ulcer disease.
