Mgl2 cDC2s coordinate fungal allergic airway type 2, but not type 17, inflammation in mice.

Fungal spores are abundant in the environment and a major cause of asthma. Originally characterised as a type 2 inflammatory disease, allergic airway inflammation that underpins asthma can also involve type 17 inflammation, which can exacerbate disease causing failure of treatments tailored to inhibit type 2 factors. However, the mechanisms that determine the host response to fungi, which can trigger both type 2 and type 17 inflammation in allergic airway disease, remain unclear.

Myosin-based nucleation of actin filaments contributes to stereocilia development critical for hearing.

Assembly of actin-based stereocilia is critical for cochlear hair cells to detect sound. To tune their mechanosensivity, stereocilia form bundles composed of graded rows of ascending height, necessitating the precise control of actin polymerization. Myosin 15 (MYO15A) drives hair bundle development by delivering critical proteins to growing stereocilia that regulate actin polymerization via an unknown mechanism.

Enhanced analysis of cellulose nanofibril film structure.

Structural analysis of cellulose nanofibril (CNF) films remains challenging due to the stochastic assembly of fibres and presence of nanopores. This limits our ability to link the film structures to their properties, restricting their commercial use. While X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) is a powerful technique to map the structure of traditional and commercial paper, there has been limited success in its application for CNF films due to the poor contrast between pores and material, making the reconstructed images difficult to segment and analyse.
