NPC1-mTORC1 signaling Couples Cholesterol Sensing to Organelle Homeostasis and is a Targetable Pathway in Niemann-Pick type C
Lysosomes promote cellular homeostasis through macromolecular hydrolysis within their lumen and metabolic signaling by the mTORC1 kinase on their limiting membranes. Both hydrolytic and signaling functions require precise regulation of lysosomal...
Active escape of prey from predator vent via the digestive tract
Few animals can survive a predator’s digestive tract. However, Sugiura shows that
aquatic beetles actively escape from the vents of frogs via the digestive tract.
A giant murder hornet has been captured in Washington. Now the state has less than two months to find and destroy the rest before mating season..
Right now, Asian giant hornet colonies only contain the queen and workers — but by the end of September, queens will start to reproduce and potentially wreak havoc on the environment.

Trump's Fetal Cell Research Panel Is Stacked With Anti-Abortion Scientists
Seen as the “gold standard” in many areas of medical research, fetal cells are widely used in coronavirus vaccine research.
5-Formylcytosine landscapes of human preimplantation embryos at single-cell resolution
The use of CLEVER-seq to delineate the 5-formylcytosine landscape of human early embryos at single-cell resolution enhances our understanding of TET-dependent active demethylation processes during human preimplantation embryo development.
Murray Releases New Report On Trump Administration’s Testing Failures, Warns Against Repeat Performance With Vaccines, Continued Testing Needs

Scared That Covid-19 Immunity Won’t Last? Don’t Be
Dropping antibody counts aren’t a sign that our immune system is failing against the coronavirus, nor an omen that we can’t develop a viable vaccine.
This man can read letters but numbers are a blank
In the video, the man sounds creeped out. “This is too strange for words,” he mutters. He's holding a plate-size, green foam 8. When upright, it looks to him like an incoherent jumble. But when he rotates it 90°, the shape snaps into focus; it looks...

Emerging heterogeneous compartments by viruses in single bacterial cells
Here, the authors apply live-cell and in situ fluorescence imaging at the single-molecule level to examine lambda DNA replication in single cells, finding that individual phage DNAs sequester host factors to their own vicinity and confine their...
Cone-shaped HIV-1 capsids are transported through intact nuclear pores
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) remains a major health threat. Viral capsid uncoating and nuclear import of the viral genome are critical for productive infection. The size of the HIV-1 capsid is generally believed to exceed the diameter of the...
Mini-organs shed light on the origins of cancer
Researchers track individual cells inside “organoids” to find out whether a tumor can really start from a single faulty cell.
Raise a glass (you deserve it)
It’s a shame that the prevailing emotion upon acceptance of a paper tends to be relief rather than elation.
As a virus ravages the world, antibiotic makers are in disarray
COVID-19 can be accompanied by secondary bacterial infections with deadly consequences. But the industry that researches and produces antibiotics to fight such illnesses has been upended -- and the pandemic is only making things worse. Now, medical...
Contingent evolution of alternative metabolic network topologies determines whether cross-feeding evolves
Using a mechanistic individual-based model, Meijer et al. show that diverse metabolic strategies emerge through the interplay between evolved metabolic constraints and ecology, without preconditions that assume cellular trade-offs or external...
Dr. Rob Bradley named new McIlwain Family Endowed Chair in Data Science
Dr. Rob Bradley uses data science approaches to comb large datasets for molecular patterns that can shed light on cancer biology and lead the way to new therapies.
