    Revealing intact neuronal circuitry in centimeter-sized formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded brain

    Ya-Hui Lin, Li-Wen Wang ... Li-An Chu
    A new approach uses heat-induced antigen retrieval to enable tissue clearing, multiple-round immunostaining, and expansion microscopy for volumetric imaging of centimeter-scale clinical formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens.

    Transdifferentiation of fibroblasts into muscle cells to constitute cultured meat with tunable intramuscular fat deposition

    Tongtong Ma, Ruimin Ren ... Heng Wang
    Efficient myogenic and lipogenic transdifferentiation of chicken fibroblasts in 3D culture produces meat with precisely controlled levels of intramuscular fat and extracellular matrix.

    Inhibition of miR-199b-5p reduces pathological alterations in osteoarthritis by potentially targeting Fzd6 and Gcnt2

    Tong Feng, Qi Zhang ... Qiao-Feng Wu
    Serum exosomal sequencing combined with cell and animal experiments indicate that miRNA-199b-5p is a novel miRNA associated with osteoarthritis (OA) and can modulate the onset and progression of the disease.

    Multi-tiered actions of Legionella effectors to modulate host Rab10 dynamics

    Tomoko Kubori, Kohei Arasaki ... Hiroki Nagai
    Interplay between multiple Legionella pneumophila effector proteins lead to spatial and temporal regulation of the host Rab10 localization to the bacterial vacuole by controlling noncanonical ubiquitin modifications.

    Signatures of transposon-mediated genome inflation, host specialization, and photoentrainment in Entomophthora muscae and allied entomophthoralean fungi

    Jason E Stajich, Brian Lovett ... Carolyn Elya
    Entomophthora muscae has one of the largest fungal genomes (1.03 Gb) owing to extensive proliferation of transposable elements.

    Epistasis facilitates functional evolution in an ancient transcription factor

    Brian PH Metzger, Yeonwoo Park ... Joseph W Thornton
    A complete mutational scan of a protein-DNA interface shows that pairwise epistatic interactions among amino acids determine a transcription factor's specificity for DNA and facilitate the evolution of new functions.

    PI3K/HSCB axis facilitates FOG1 nuclear translocation to promote erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis

    Gang Liu, Yunxuan Hou ... Xiumei Jiang
    HSCB could be activated by PI3K signaling to facilitate FOG1 nuclear translocation to promote human erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis, highlighting an important, previously unrecognized iron–sulfur cluster delivery independent function of HSCB.

    FMRP regulates postnatal neuronal migration via MAP1B

    Salima Messaoudi, Ada Allam ... Isabelle Caille
    A novel neurodevelopmental role for FMRP in collaboration with MAP1B, jointly orchestrating neuronal migration by influencing the microtubular cytoskeleton.
