Leveraging the US Health and Retirement Study and C. elegans genetics reveals ALDH4A1/alh-6 as an evolutionarily conserved biomarker for normal muscle function over the lifespan.

VE-cadherin is required for trophoblast invasion of the maternal decidua and spiral arteries.

A genetic screening approach identifies RNA binding proteins that enhance or inhibit the accumulation of CD138+ plasma cells in vitro, and chimeric mouse models demonstrate that YTHDF2 promotes the accumulation of antibody secreting cells in vivo.

Detection of aneuploidy and/or mutations in ctDNA may represent a promising approach to detecting patients with MPNST.

Genetic architecture of muscle secreted protein functions are dominated by sex.

Novel blood pressure devices provide an estimated pulse wave velocity, which is no substitute for measured pulse wave velocity and clinicians should be aware that it only reflects trends derived from representative population samples based on age and blood pressure.

Widespread somatosensory cortical activation following a single localised skin breaking procedure indicates a diffuse pain map in the human infant brain.

Neutrophil extracellular traps are an immunogenic source of leukemia antigens in dendritic cell-based vaccination and are able to instruct antileukemia CD8 T-cell responses.

Biochemical and genetic analysis of the functional relationship between RIT1 and its regulatory protein, LZTR1, across various model organisms helps define the substrate specificity of LZTR1 for RAS GTPases.

The atomic resolution cryo-EM structure of somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) provides insights into the mechanism by which SSTRs recognize their ligands and will serve as a platform to develop selective agonists and therapeutics.
