This study shows that DNA-PKcs phosphorylation at T2609 cluster promotes cNHEJ repair pathway choice during CSR, as loss of this phosphorylation increases chromosomal translocation and alternative end-joining.

This study identifies ACE2 orthologs from diverse species that can support SARS-CoV-2 entry, suggesting a broad host range for the virus.

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 infects human intestinal enterocytes via TMPRSS2 and TMPRSS4, but viral particles in stool are inactivated, suggesting limited fecal-oral transmission.

This study shows G9a methyltransferase regulates Wnt signaling in lung development and tumor progression by controlling β-catenin transcriptional activity, and its inhibition prevents KrasG12D lung cancer.

This paper introduces a computational light-sheet microscopy method that rapidly images entire organs at subcellular resolution, achieving high isotropic spatial resolution and significantly improved throughput.

A purified inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate (PiCoVacc) induces neutralizing antibodies in animals and shows safety and partial to complete protection against SARS-CoV-2 strains.

The paper identifies the high-energy transition state of a membrane transporter and proposes an approach for allosteric modulation based on structural analysis.

This study uses human liver organoids to show SARS-CoV-2 infects cholangiocytes, disrupts bile transport, and causes liver damage, suggesting targeting viral effects on the liver could improve COVID-19 treatment.

ANT1 overexpression causes cytosolic proteostatic stress, leading to muscle atrophy through reduced protein content and anti-mPOS responses.

This paper investigates how fentanyl activates the mu-opioid receptor through beta-arrestin biased signaling using molecular dynamics simulations and validates findings with synthesized compounds.

This study compares the secretome of Magnaporthe oryzae wild type and Δalg3 mutants, identifying 51 proteins requiring ALG3 for secretion and showing their roles in virulence and cell wall integrity.

The paper predicts APC/C substrates in silico, identifies chromatin regulators as substrates, and shows their cell cycle-dependent degradation and impact on DNA methylation.

This study shows mitochondrial dysfunction reduces 26S proteasome assembly and activity, which can be reversed by aspartate or pyruvate supplementation.

The paper develops lipidated poly(amino acid) nanostructures for drug delivery, showing they can self-assemble and deliver doxorubicin to lymphoma cells.

The paper uses protein-proofed single-cell RNA profiling to identify tissue cells vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection across 36 tissues, revealing lung and cardiac cells as top targets.

This study identifies SARS-CoV-2 host targets and perturbed proteins in PBMCs from COVID-19 patients, revealing potential virulence factors involved in cytokine storms and disease pathogenesis.

The paper develops a method to study hematopoietic stem cell clones and finds they have distinct transcriptional profiles and fate outcomes.

This study introduces icLASER, a method to map RNA solvent accessibility transcriptome-wide, and combines it with icSHAPE to predict RNA-protein interactions and polyadenylation sites.

This study isolates and characterizes 206 RBD-specific monoclonal antibodies from SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals, finding diverse neutralizing activity and species-specific antibody responses.

The paper investigates how mutations synergize to alter chromatin accessibility, enhancer landscapes, and 3D DNA topology in leukemia induction using a murine model.

This study simulates mosquito behavior in response to spatial repellents and insecticide resistance using a modified self-propelled particle model, finding that resistant mosquitoes may be less affected by repellents.

This study uses computational models and OCT to show that thyroid eye disease increases gaze-evoked deformations of the optic nerve head.

This study uses metabolomics to show that Plasmodium falciparum has diverse and active cis-polyisoprenoid biosynthesis, including polyprenols and dolichols, with functional substitution potential.

The paper identifies candidate foundation species in Chinese forests across a latitudinal gradient and finds they are more common in temperate zones than in tropical or boreal regions.

This study develops an estrogen-inducible CRISPR/Cas9 system in Nicotiana tabacum and demonstrates its efficacy in inducing targeted mutagenesis of the NtPDS gene.

This study develops BCMA/CS1 bispecific CAR-T cells that effectively target heterogeneous multiple myeloma, showing improved activity and durable tumor-free survival compared to single-target CAR-T cells.

This paper shows that deleting Pten and Dicer1 in mice leads to poorly-differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma with molecular features similar to human DICER1-mutant cancers.

This paper introduces MorphEUS, a morphological profiling method that classifies drugs based on their effects on Mycobacterium tuberculosis morphology, identifying both primary and off-target pathways of action.

This study uses CRISPRi to systematically analyze coding and non-coding elements in E. coli, revealing conditional essentiality and novel insights into promoter and TFBS targeting.
