Fields et al. demonstrate the viability of targeting a shared cytokine receptor for comprehensive signaling blockade of all associated cytokines. CAN10 and 3G5, two anti-IL-1RAcP antibodies, target distinct epitopes on this shared receptor and potently block IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-33, IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ signaling.

Distributed X chromosome inactivation in brain circuitry is associated with X-linked disease penetrance of behavior
Szelenyi et al. demonstrate that adult brain XCI is systematically biased toward maternal X-active cells, which is sufficient for disease penetrance of the X-linked Fmr1-KO allele. Furthermore, local XCI mosaicism distinguishes phenotypic outcomes of individuals based on mutant X-active cells populating […]
A fitness landscape instability governs the morphological diversity of tip-growing cells
Ohairwe et al. demonstrate that an intrinsic mechanical instability in the convergent mechanism of “inflationary” cell growth shared by diverse tip-growing cells leads to a bifurcation (branching) of their fitness landscape. This bifurcation strictly constrains natural tip-growing cell shapes.
The nociceptive activity of peripheral sensory neurons is modulated by the neuronal membrane proteasome
Proteasomes are critical for sensory neuron function. Villalón Landeros et al. uncover a specialized proteasome in somatosensory neurons called the neuronal membrane proteasome (NMP). The NMP mediates crosstalk between somatosensory neurons to modulate sensitivity to stimulation. Inhibition of the NMP reduces […]
