This paper introduces a DNA-based fluorescent probe, DNAMeter, to quantify intercellular tensile forces through real-time imaging and fluorescence signal activation.

The paper uses scRNA-seq to show that single cells from the same donor can express different HLA class I genotypes, revealing high allele-specific expression diversity in the immune system.

This study shows FOP negatively regulates ciliogenesis by promoting cilia disassembly and facilitates cell cycle re-entry.

The paper links placental invasion and cancer metastasis by showing that human stromal cells are more permissive to invasion than bovine cells, supporting the Evolved Levels of Invasibility hypothesis.

The paper challenges the conservation of digit identities across tetrapods and suggests a limited frame shift in bird wings based on gene expression patterns.

This study shows that PLEKHO1 in osteoblasts worsens joint inflammation in RA and promotes bone formation, suggesting it as a therapeutic target.

This study shows IFITM proteins inhibit HIV-1 protein synthesis by blocking viral mRNA translation, but this effect can be overcome by the Nef protein.

The paper shows that decidual stromal cells evolved from rewiring an ancestral cellular stress response in opossum endometrial stromal fibroblasts.

This study develops a model to measure correlated transcriptome evolution across tissues and finds that related tissues show higher levels of correlated gene expression evolution.
