Eed controls craniofacial osteoblast differentiation and mesenchymal proliferation from the neural crest
In this valuable study, the authors used an elegant genetic approach to delete EED at the post-neural crest induction stage. The usage of the single-cell RNA-seq analysis method is extremely suitable ...

Salmonella exploits host- and bacterial-derived β-alanine for replication inside host macrophages
The authors use a multidisciplinary approach to provide a useful link between Beta-alanine and S. Typhimurium (STM) infection and virulence. The work shows how Beta-alanine synthesis mediates zinc ...

Increased bone inflammation in type 2 diabetes and obesity correlates with Wnt signaling downregulation and reduced bone strength
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity (OB) are associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and increased fracture risk. In vitro studies showed that inflammation induces bone erosion and inhibits bone ...

Single cell transcriptomics reveals early photoreceptor states, cell-specific transcript isoforms, and cancer-predisposing features
Here, we used deep full-length single-cell RNA-sequencing to distinguish post-mitotic cone and rod developmental states and cone-specific features that contribute to retinoblastomagenesis. The ...

Integrator complex subunit 12 knockout overcomes a transcriptional block to HIV latency reversal
The latent HIV reservoir is a major barrier to HIV cure. Combining latency reversal agents (LRAs) with differing mechanisms of action such as AZD5582, a non-canonical NF-kB activator, and I-BET151, a ...

Molecular dynamics simulations illuminate the role of sequence context in the ELF3-PrD-based temperature sensing mechanism in plants
In this potentially valuable computational study, the authors conducted atomistic and coarse-grained simulations to probe the temperature-dependent phase behaviors of ELF3, a disordered component of ...

The ESCRT protein CHMP5 restricts bone formation by controlling endolysosome-mitochondrion-mediated cell senescence
In this study, our results uncover the function and mechanism of CHMP5 in the regulation of cell senescence and bone formation in osteogenic cells. Deletion of Chmp5 causes endolysosomal dysfunction ...
