Overactivation of TRPV1 leads to cellular damage or death through calcium entry and excitotoxicity. We have exploited this phenomenon to conduct a systematic analysis of excitotoxicity through a genome-wide CRISPRi screen, thereby revealing a comprehensive network of regulatory pathways. We show that decreased expression of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) components protects against capsaicin-induced toxicity and other challenges by mitigating both calcium imbalance and the generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species via distinct pathways. Moreover, we confirm the regulatory roles of the ETC in sensory neurons through gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments. Interestingly, TRPV1<sup>+</sup> sensory neurons maintain lower expression of ETC components and can better tolerate excitotoxicity and oxidative stress compared with other sensory neuron subtypes, implicating ETC tuning as an intrinsic cellular strategy that protects nociceptors against excitotoxicity.","PeriodicalId":9656,"journal":{"name":"Cell","volume":"198 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144900346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The EFC is a promising therapeutic target, but the absence of structural data has limited the development of fusion-inhibiting treatments. Here, we investigated A16/G9, a subcomplex of the EFC that controls fusion timing. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we showed how A16/G9 interacts with A56/K2, a viral fusion suppressor that prevents superinfection. Immunization with A16/G9 elicited a protective immune response in mice. Using X-ray crystallography, we characterized two neutralizing antibodies and engineered a chimeric antibody that cross-neutralizes several poxviruses more efficiently than 7D11, the most potent antibody targeting the EFC described to date. These findings highlight the potential of A16/G9 as a candidate for subunit vaccines and identify regions of the EFC as targets for antiviral development.","PeriodicalId":9656,"journal":{"name":"Cell","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144900347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These antibodies block viral spread <em>in vitro</em> and protect mice against lethal MPXV and vaccinia virus infection via both Fc-dependent and independent mechanisms. Levels of serum antibodies targeting the same epitopes are increased in mpox-convalescent humans, and higher levels of these antibodies in the sera are linked to shorter symptom duration and no hospitalization. Systems-level multivariate analysis indicated that mpox-convalescent serum antibodies targeting the same epitopic region as these three mAbs may function cooperatively, with additive associations to clinical protection. Two of the antibodies use a conserved IGHD2-21-encoded CxGGDCx motif in their CDRH3 region to bind a highly conserved poxvirus epitope.

Due to the low mRNA abundance in single bacteria, determining biologically relevant heterogeneity remains a challenge. Using Microcolony-seq, a methodology that captures inherited heterogeneity by analyzing microcolonies originating from single bacterial cells, we uncover the ubiquitous ability of bacteria to maintain long-term inheritance of the host environment. Notably, we observe that growth to stationary phase erases the epigenetic inheritance. By leveraging this memory within each microcolony, Microcolony-seq combines bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) with whole-genome sequencing and phenotypic assays to detect the distinct subpopulations and their fitness advantages. Applying this directly to infected human samples enables us to uncover a wealth of diverse inherited phenotypes. Our observations suggest that bacterial memory may be a widespread phenomenon in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Microcolony-seq provides potential targets for the rational design of therapies with the power to simultaneously target the coexisting subpopulations.","PeriodicalId":9656,"journal":{"name":"Cell","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144900351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the central nervous system, failure of oligodendrocyte maturation is linked to diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Here, we report a transcriptional mechanism that governs the timing of oligodendrocyte maturation. After progenitor cells differentiate into immature oligodendrocytes, the transcription factor SOX6 redistributes from super-enhancers to cluster across specific gene bodies. These sites exhibit extensive chromatin decondensation and transcription, which abruptly turn off upon maturation. Suppression of SOX6 deactivates these immaturity loci, accelerating the transition to mature, myelinating oligodendrocytes. Notably, cells harboring this immature SOX6 gene signature are enriched in multiple sclerosis patient brains and antisense oligonucleotide-mediated <em>Sox6</em> knockdown drives oligodendrocyte maturation in mice. Our findings establish SOX6 as a key regulator of oligodendrocyte maturation and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target to promote myelination in disease.","PeriodicalId":9656,"journal":{"name":"Cell","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144900357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
