      This important study investigates the intracellular localization patterns of G proteins involved in GPCR signaling, presenting compelling evidence for their preference for plasma and lysosomal membranes over endosomal, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi membranes. This discovery has significant implications for understanding GPCR action and signaling from intracellular locations. This research will interest cell biologists studying protein trafficking and pharmacologists exploring localized signaling phenomena.

      This valuable study investigates the effect of noncaloric monosaccharides, sugar substitutes that are commonly used by diabetic patients, on angiogenesis in the zebrafish embryo. The authors show that noncaloric monosaccharides and glucose similarly induce excessive blood vessel formation due to the increased formation of tip cells by endothelial cells through the foxo1a-marcksl1a pathway. This solid study is of interest for the medical community in charge of the prevention and of the treatment of diabetes and other metabolic diseases.

      This manuscript presents valuable findings on the identification of epigenetically mediated control for the recognition of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) gene expression that is linked with cancer treatment resistance using 5-fluorouracil. The evidence is compelling, supported by data from patient-derived specimens and direct assessment of 5-fluorouracil sensitivity, which provides confidence in the proposed mechanisms. The model is additionally supported by genome data from a population with high "compromised allele frequency". This work will interest those studying drug resistance in cancer therapy.

      This study presents a rather valuable finding that vilazodone can restore the normal platelet level through regulating 5-HT1A receptor. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is solid, although inclusion of more cell lines and more detailed analysis of the results would have strengthened the study. The work will be of interest to scientists working in the field of thrombocytopenia.

      This paper is of interest to a broad audience of cell biologists, and researchers who work in cell death and the role of NETosis in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases. This study presents valuable new insights to support NETosis plays an important role in the development of aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN). A series of compelling experiments using in vivo and in vitro model supported that AAN induced NET formation via IL-19-IL20-beta receptor can induce inflammation and cell death. This new knowledge of the interaction between kidney cells and neutrophils could have clinical implications in the treatment of AAN.
