      Building on earlier studies, this manuscript reports a role for pol kappa in cisplatin resistance in the very specific scenarios of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, providing evidence that the PIP box of Pol kappa is critical for cisplatin resistance in these cells. The findings are of a highly focused relevance and will be useful in the field, but the conclusions are limited to very specific cancer cells. Conclusions cannot be generalized to all cisplatin resistance mechanisms and cell types and are based on incomplete evidence that presents uncertainties and discrepancies that need to be resolved.

      This is a potentially important study comparing LTP mechanisms between primates and rodents. The experimental methods have some possible confounds, and the power (replicates) and design of the statistical methods could be strengthened, hence the support for the central claims of species differences is currently incomplete.

      This important study assessed the replicability of a selection of lab-based biomedical experiments in papers published by authors based in Brazil. The study adds a unique perspective to the literature on replication, and provides rich data on the approach taken, the outcomes, and the challenges involved in conducting large-scale crowd-sourced research. The evidence supporting the claims is convincing, but there is scope for clarifying the presentation of the results and extending the discussion section.

      This study presents an important finding regarding the effect of Yoda molecules on PIEZO2 function, challenging the assumption that they selectively activate PIEZO1. The evidence supporting this claim is solid, but several methodological and conceptual issues need to be addressed. Overall, this work will be of broad interest to researchers working with PIEZO channels across various biological scales.

      In this manuscript, the authors describe a new member of the KCNE auxiliary subunits of potassium channels from a lamprey. This new subunit represents an early evolutionary member which confers new properties when expressed along with KCNQ channels. The authors present convincing evidence from several experimental approaches. The contents of this manuscript are important and should be relevant to understanding both the mechanism of modulation of KCNQ channels by KCNE subunits and the evolutionary history of these subunits, which this manuscript now extends to the divergence of early vertebrates.

  6. Whisker-based pre-neuronal and peripheral encoding of surface stickiness

      eLife Assessment

      This important study investigates how surface stickiness shapes whisker mechanics and peripheral neural responses during active touch. The biomechanical evidence that surface stickiness alters whisker mechanics and stick-slip dynamics is compelling, supported by a large and high-quality 3D dataset, while the electrophysiological evidence is solid but limited by a small sample size and insufficient validation of the sticky stimuli. The work will be of broad interest to sensory neuroscientists studying active touch.

      This study presents a useful compendium of triangulated single-cell eQTLs, Mendelian randomisation and colocalization of genetic signals in prostate cancer datasets. Biological interpretation in the context of the aging prostate gland, the tumour microenvironment and immune cell specificity is incomplete, so this study is a starting point for further study, and would require validation of the resulting putative causal genes.

      eLife Assessment

      This useful study explores how macrophage cell-cycle state may influence endocytosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis uptake, and the intracellular stress experienced by bacteria. While the question is interesting and the experimental approach has promise, the evidence for the central claim that endocytic capacity is specifically regulated by cell-cycle stage is incomplete. The main concern is that fluorescence-based sorting and total-fluorescence measurements likely covary with cell size, so the reported phenotypes could reflect biomass accumulation or other cell-cycle-associated changes rather than endocytic capacity as the causal determinant. As a result, whilst the study raises a hypothesis that is of importance, additional controls are required before the proposed mechanism can be considered well supported.

      eLife Assessment

      This study addresses a recent discovery by others that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) generates seizure activity and spreading depolarization (SD), reflected in large increases in calcium, which can be followed by imaging calcium fluctuations in neurons. This work is useful. However, the evidence to show that SD, rather than seizures, confers the neuroplastic and other therapeutic effects of ECT is incomplete.
