The ciliary machinery is repurposed for T cell immune synapse trafficking of LCK [PDF]
Upon engagement of the T cell receptor with an antigen-presenting cell, LCK initiates TCR signaling by phosphorylating its activation motifs. However, the mechanism of LCK activation specifically at the immune synapse is a major question.

Bio‐Inspired Strategy for Radiation‐Based Thermal Management and Utilization
Biological organisms have evolved remarkable strategies to manage and exploit thermal radiation. This review explores bio‐inspired systems that mimic these adaptations—such as radiative cooling, thermal regulation, thermal insulation, water harvesting, infrared camouflage, and infrared detection—and highlights their application in thermal management ...

Cilia at the node of mouse embryos sense fluid flow for left-right determination via Pkd2 [PDF]
Unidirectional fluid flow plays an essential role in the breaking of left-right (L-R) symmetry in mouse embryos, but it has remained unclear how the flow is sensed by the embryo.

Loss of STARD7 Triggers Metabolic Reprogramming and Cell Cycle Arrest in Breast Cancer
Breast cancer cells undergo metabolic and transcriptomic reprogramming to support aberrant cell proliferation. Their mitochondria rely on the transfer of phosphatidylcholine from the endoplasmic reticulum to their membranes by STARD7, a candidate upregulated in breast cancer, to be functional.
