    SMC complex unidirectionally translocates DNA by coupling segment capture with an asymmetric kleisin path

    Masataka Yamauchi, Giovanni Bruno Brandani ... Shoji Takada
    An asymmetric kleisin path breaks the symmetry of the SMC homodimer, ensuring unidirectional DNA translocation via a segment capture mechanism.

    Colony demographics shape nest construction in Camponotus fellah ants

    Harikrishnan Rajendran, Roi Weinberger ... Ofer Feinerman
    The architecture of an ant nest serves as a fossilized record of the colony's demographic history, with distinct growth patterns and catastrophic events through age-specific digging behaviors.

    A quantitative in vivo CRISPR-imaging platform identifies regulators of hyperplastic and hypertrophic adipose morphology in zebrafish

    Rebecca Wafer, Panna Tandon, James Minchin
    A scalable zebrafish imaging platform reveals that Foxp1 paralogues have non-redundant roles in developmental patterning of adipose morphology and adaptive remodelling capacity in response to a high-fat diet.
    1. Neuroscience

    Multiple functions of cerebello-thalamic neurons in learning and offline consolidation of a motor skill in mice

    Andrés Pablo Varani, Caroline Mailhes-Hamon ... Daniela Popa
    Distinct cerebellar projections to the forebrain differentially support acquisition and offline consolidation of a motor skill engaging cerebello-striato-cortical circuits, revealing the temporal and functional diversity of cerebellar contributions to learning.

    Clathrin-independent endocytosis and retrograde transport in cancer cells tune immune synapse organization and CD8 T cell response

    Shiqiang Xu, Alix Buridant ... Henri-François Renard
    Endophilin-A3-mediated clathrin-independent endocytosis and retrograde trafficking in cancer cells regulate ICAM1 organization at the immune synapse and influence cytotoxic CD8 T cell response.
