Identifying the causal allele in the CD40 autoimmune locus enables discovery of context-specific trans-effects in B cells

The paper identifies a causal allele in the CD40 locus and demonstrates context-specific trans-effects in B cells using CITE-seq and CRAFT-seq.

Continuity of Mitochondrial Budding: Insights from BS-C-1 Cells by in-situ Cryo-Electron Tomography

The paper uses in-situ Cryo-ET to study mitochondrial budding in BS-C-1 cells, finding no Drp1 or ER involvement and identifying new mitochondrial-vesicle interactions.

Functional specialization of cytochrome b5 prior to the invention of syringyl lignin biosynthesis

The study shows that cytochrome b5 D (CB5D) evolved before the divergence of land plant lineages and specialized to support F5H in syringyl lignin biosynthesis.

Novel Peptide Inhibitor of Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-α has Antiarthritic Activity

The paper designs a peptide inhibitor of TNF-α that reduces inflammation and joint damage in arthritis models.

Large-scale Analysis of 2,152 dataset reveals key features of B cell biology and the antibody repertoire

This study analyzes 2,152 antibody repertoires to identify key features of B cell biology, revealing gene usage patterns, sex preferences, and mutability mechanisms in the antibody repertoire.

Glucosinolate and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis are linked by proteasome-dependent degradation of PAL

The paper identifies proteasome-dependent degradation of PAL as a mechanism linking glucosinolate and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis through regulation of KFB genes.
