Targeted sequencing of neurodegenerative disease genes and transcriptome-wide sequencing in postmortem brain and spinal cord samples from individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or frontotemporal dementia identify somatic mutations as likely drivers of disease pathology.

New research suggests that autoimmune diseases may be driven by DNA changes in immune cells that remove natural restraints on the immune system. The...

Guan, Ocampo and colleagues report the discovery and mechanistic dissection of Al3Cas12f, a metagenome-derived miniature nuclease that retains notable genome-editing capacity. They engineer an RKK variant, which boosts editing and helps overcome the potency threshold that has limited compact editors.

Clinical use of CRISPR-based gene editing has mostly involved modifying cells outside the body before reintroducing them. A key challenge has been...

Sugar porters are textbook examples of how transport activity is described by Michaelis–Menten kinetics. Here, using saturation transfer difference nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Ahn et al. conclude that the fully occluded state of a sugar transporter is analogous to the transition state in soluble enzymes.

Zehr et al. revealed the 2.7-Å cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of human microtubules in situ in the axon of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS cell)-derived neurons. It shows an expanded microtubule lattice yet bound to GDP, in contrast to the compacted lattice observed at the iPS cell stage.

Burr and Auckland et. al develop MitoPerturb-Seq, which combines single-cell screening with multiomics to link nuclear genes to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) dynamics. They unveil core regulators of mtDNA copy number and characterize cell-cycle delays and transcriptional stress in response to mtDNA depletion.
