Article Abstract
Cancer genomes often harbor hundreds of somatic DNA rearrangement junctions, many of which cannot be easily classified into simple (e.g., deletion) or complex (e.g., chromothripsis) structural variant classes. Applying a novel genome graph computational paradigm to analyze the topology of junction copy number (JCN) across 2,778 tumor whole-genome sequences, we uncovered three novel complex rearrangement phenomena: pyrgo, rigma, and tyfonas. Pyrgo are "towers" of low-JCN duplications associated with early-replicating regions, superenhancers, and breast or ovarian cancers. Rigma comprise "chasms" of low-JCN deletions enriched in late-replicating fragile sites and gastrointestinal carcinomas. Tyfonas are "typhoons" of high-JCN junctions and fold-back inversions associated with expressed protein-coding fusions, breakend hypermutation, and acral, but not cutaneous, melanomas. Clustering of tumors according to genome graph-derived features identified subgroups associated with DNA repair defects and poor prognosis.

CD4 T follicular helper (T) cells support tailored B cell responses against multiple classes of pathogens. To reveal how diverse T phenotypes are established, we profiled mouse T cells in response to viral, helminth and bacterial infection. We identified a core T signature that is distinct from CD4 T follicular regulatory and effector cells and identified pathogen-specific transcriptional modules that shape T function.

Research conducted over the last 15 years indicates that cAMP is generated not just from the plasma membrane but also from intracellular compartments, particularly in endosomes, where receptors are redistributed during the endocytosis process. This review centers on the parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor (PTHR) as a model for a peptide hormone GPCRs that generates cAMP from various locations with distinct duration and pharmacological effectiveness. We discuss how structural dynamics simulations aid in designing ligands that induce cAMP location bias, ultimately answering how the spatiotemporal generation of cAMP affects pharmacological responses mediated by the PTHR.

Layer 6 corticothalamic (L6CT) neurons project to both cortex and thalamus, inducing multiple effects including the modulation of cortical and thalamic firing, and the emergence of high gamma oscillations in the cortical local field potential (LFP). We hypothesize that the high gamma oscillations driven by L6CT neuron activation reflect the dynamic engagement of intracortical and cortico-thalamo-cortical circuits. To test this, we optogenetically activated L6CT neurons in NTSR1-cre mice (both male and female) expressing channelrhodopsin-2 in L6CT neurons.

Understanding the structural and functional diversity of toxin proteins is critical for elucidating macromolecular behavior, mechanistic variability, and structure-driven bioactivity. Traditional approaches have primarily focused on binary toxicity prediction, offering limited resolution into distinct modes of action of toxins. Here, we present MultiTox, an ensemble stacking framework for the classification of toxin proteins based on their molecular mode of action: neurotoxins, cytotoxins, hemotoxins, and enterotoxins.

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are linked to poor mental health outcomes, yet much of the existing research focuses on cumulative risk rather than the impact of distinct types of adversity. This limits insights into how specific ACE patterns influence psychopathology. Additionally, inquiries into links between ACE exposure and mental health typically focus on a single symptom class, overlooking co-occurring psychopathologies.
