A subcellular map of translational machinery composition and regulation at the single-molecule level
Millions of ribosomes are packed within mammalian cells, yet we lack tools to visualize them in toto and characterize their subcellular composition. In this study, we present ribosome expansion micros...

Type III interferons induce pyroptosis in gut epithelial cells and impair mucosal repair
Intestinal damage following colitis or irradiation induces type III interferons (IFNs), which delay the healing of the intestinal epithelium. IFN-λ directs the sensing of Z-form nucleic acids generated during gut injury and repair, triggering cell death and altering healthy epithelial regeneration.

T-Switch: A specificity-based engineering platform for developing safe and effective T cell therapeutics
Abdelfattah et al. developed an engineering platform (T-Switch) for the creation, modification, and high-throughput profiling of T cell receptors (TCRs) to desired targets, particularly self-antigens. T-Switch identified potent and specific candidate TCRs against a clinically relevant cancer self-target highly expressed in neuroblastoma and has potential for broader application in immunotherapy.

Resistance to one antibiotic can make bacteria resistant or sensitive to another antibiotic, opening paths for combinatorial treatments. A study in Nature Microbiology presents an approach to systematically discover and understand such antibiotic relationships. go.nature.com/49of3Mk 🧪
This is figure 4, which shows collateral sensitivity and cross-resistance interactions between and within antibiotic classes.
