    Glycine inhibits NINJ1 membrane clustering to suppress plasma membrane rupture in cell death

    Jazlyn P Borges, Ragnhild SR Sætra ... Benjamin Ethan Steinberg
    Biochemical and microscopy-based approaches in mouse and human macrophages reveal that glycine cytoprotection acts at the level of the newly identified pan-death protein NINJ1 to inhibit multiple lytic cell death pathways, thereby resolving a long-standing mechanism of glycine cytoprotection.

    T cell receptor convergence is an indicator of antigen-specific T cell response in cancer immunotherapies

    Mingyao Pan, Bo Li
    Amino acid codon degeneracy indicates antigen-specific selection of the T cell receptors and is predictive of cancer immunotherapy outcomes.

    Resurrecting essential amino acid biosynthesis in mammalian cells

    Julie Trolle, Ross M McBee ... Harris H Wang
    Mammalian cells were engineered to synthesize valine, a metabolic capacity that had been lost from the lineage of higher eukaryotes for >500 million years.

    Machine learning-assisted fluoroscopy of bladder function in awake mice

    Helene De Bruyn, Nikky Corthout ... Thomas Voets
    A new combined approach using X-ray fluoroscopy and machine learning provides detailed new insights into bladder function in awake, unrestrained mice and unveils important limitations of current approaches to study bladder function.

    RNA-binding protein Elavl1/HuR is required for maintenance of cranial neural crest specification

    Erica J Hutchins, Shashank Gandhi ... Marianne E Bronner
    The RNA-binding protein Elavl1 directly binds to and stabilizes a single gene product—Draxin mRNA—to prevent premature delamination and maintain specification in cranial neural crest.

    Mixed synapses reconcile violations of the size principle in zebrafish spinal cord

    Evdokia Menelaou, Sandeep Kishore, David L McLean
    In the zebrafish spinal cord, mixed synapses contribute to neuronal connectivity and resting excitability, which helps explain violations of the well-known 'size principle' of recruitment.
