The mammalian EMC in membrane protein biogenesis by Volkmar, N

“…Sensitivity to cholesterol loss in EMC6 knockout cells was reproduced by direct deletion or pharmacological inhibition of SQS. mEMC depletion also caused imbalances in the mevalonate pathway, likely leading to increased shunting of the farnesyl pyrophosphate precursor into the isoprenoid pathway, increasing the detection of prenylated proteins. …”

Fragmenstein: predicting protein–ligand structures of compounds derived from known crystallographic fragment hits using a strict conserved-binding–based methodology by Ferla, MP, Sánchez-García, R, Skyner, RE, Gahbauer, S, Taylor, JC, von Delft, F, Marsden, BD, Deane, CM

“…This method has had a prior real-world application in hit-to-lead screening, yielding a sub-micromolar merger from parent hits in a single round. It is therefore likely to further benefit future drug design campaigns and be integrated in future pipelines. …”

Highly variable freshwater reservoir offsets found along the Upper Lena watershed, Cis-Baikal, southeast Siberia by Schulting, R, Ramsey, CB, Bazaliiskii, VI, Weber, A

“…While the river flows over carbonate bedrock and is moderately alkaline, we suggest that old terrestrial carbon entering the riverine foodweb through bank erosion and other processes is a more likely candidate for the majority of the ¹⁴C offset.…”

“…We summarize the essential principles and utility of large simple RCTs, likely applicable to all interventions but especially in order to promote their wider adoption to evaluate new medical devices.…”

Systematic assessment of COVID-19 host genetics using whole genome sequencing data by Schmidt, A, Casadei, N, Brand, F, Demidov, G, Vojgani, E, Abolhassani, A, Aldisi, R, Butler-Laporte, G, DeCOI host genetics group, Alawathurage, TM, Augustin, M, Bals, R, Bellinghausen, C, Berger, MM, Bitzer, M, Bode, C, Boos, J, Brenner, T, Cornely, OA, Eggermann, T, Erber, J, Feldt, T, Fuchsberger, C, Gagneur, J

“…We observed the presence of autosomal-recessive or likely compound heterozygous monogenic disorders in six individuals, all of which were hospitalized and significantly younger than the rest of the cohort. …”

Experimental heatwaves facilitate invasion and alter species interactions and composition in a tropical host‐parasitoid community by Chen, J, Lewis, O

“…The interactive effects of climate change and climate change-facilitated invasion have rarely been studied in multi-trophic communities, and are likely to differ depending on the nature of the climatic driver (i.e., climate extremes or constant warming). …”

Asymptomatic female softball pitchers have altered hip morphology and cartilage composition by Warden, SJ, Coburn, SL, Fuchs, RK, Surowiec, RK, Carballido-Gamio, J, Kemp, JL, Jalaie, PK, Hanff, DF, Palmer, AJR, Fernquest, SJ, Crossley, KM, Heerey, JJ

“…Pitch1 had 52% greater maximum alpha angle than Run (p < 0.001) and were 21.3 (95% CI 2.4 to 192.0) times more likely to have an alpha angle ≥ 60° within at least one hip. …”

Heightened interoception in adults with fibromyalgia by Todd, J, Plans, D, Lee, M, Bird, J, Morelli, D, Cunningham, A, ponzo, S, Murphy, J, Bird, G, Aspell, J

Sleep and circadian difficulties in schizophrenia: presentations, understanding, and treatment by Freeman, D, Waite, F

“…Treatment is also very likely to lessen psychotic experiences and mood disturbances, while improving daytime functioning and quality of life. …”

Rediscovering Homo sapiens in international politics: evolution and rationality’s missing link by Johnson, D

“…An evolutionary perspective suggests: (1) rational choice is not always the most effective or efficient solution to decision-making problems; (2) cognitive biases are not mistakes, but adaptive “strategic instincts,” which evolved because they helped us make good decisions, not bad ones; (3) these “non-rational” dispositions follow a systematic pattern, allowing predictions about how people are likely to react under given conditions; (4) a theory for the origins of preferences; (5) an explanation for why humans can sometimes seem rational and sometimes non-rational (because adaptive behavior depends on context); and finally (6) error management theory suggests that cognitive biases evolved precisely because of uncertainty, as a way of minimizing costs over time. …”

Robert, Constantine-Paton, Martha, Arriagada, Gloria, Chávez, Andrés E., Bustos, Fernando J.

“…In cultured neurons, KO of VPS50 did not affect the number of synaptic vesicles but did cause mislocalization of the V-ATPase V1 domain pump and impaired synaptic activity, likely as a consequence of defects in vesicle acidification and vesicle content. …”
