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.

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 […]
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 […]
The soil microbiome modulates the sorghum root metabolome and cellular traits with a concomitant reduction of Striga infection
The soil microbiome protects sorghum, and likely other crops, from infection with the root parasite Striga hermonthica. Kawa et al. show that soil-borne bacteria modify sorghum root development and root exudate content, likely preventing Striga from penetrating sorghum. This study provides […]
