The atypical IκB factor IκBδ enhances CD8 T cell accumulation and effector functions in solid tumors

This study identifies IκBδ as a factor that enhances CD8 T cell accumulation and effector functions in solid tumors by overcoming constraints on T cell survival and cytotoxic capacity.

Reversible control of T cell exhaustion by NR4A transcription factors revealed through targeted protein degradation

The paper shows that targeted degradation of NR4A proteins in T cells reverses exhaustion by restoring effector function and reducing inhibitory receptors.

Ultralight Solar Transmitter Enables Fine-Scale Movement Ecology in North American Hummingbird Migration

The paper develops an ultra-light solar transmitter to track small hummingbirds during migration, demonstrating reliable tracking over long distances and presenting the first known migratory tracks for North American species.

Dynamic Current Clamp Experiments Define The Functional Roles Of IK1 And Ito,f In Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Derived Cardiomyocytes

This study uses dynamic current clamp in iPSC-CMs to investigate the functional roles of IK1 and Ito,f in human cardiomyocytes, revealing cell-to-cell heterogeneity and voltage sensitivity.
