    Slap restricts oncogenic Src-family kinase signaling to maintain colonic epithelial homeostasis

    Dana Naim, Zouheir Houhou ... Serge Roche
    Src-like adaptor protein (SLAP) preserves intestinal epithelial homeostasis by restraining Src-family kinase signaling, revealing a non-genetic mechanism limiting colorectal tumor initiation.

    Small mammalian herbivores at moderate densities facilitate livestock growth by improving vegetation composition in grasslands

    Zhiwei Zhong, Bingbo Ni ... Zhibin Zhang
    At moderate densities, small mammalian herbivores can enhance livestock weight gains by suppressing toxic plants and improving both the abundance and nutritional quality of palatable forage in rangelands.

    Primordial cardiomyocytes orchestrate myocardial morphogenesis and vascularization but are dispensable for regeneration

    Jisheng Sun, Lu Chen, Jinhu Wang
    Primordial cardiomyocytes play an essential role in myocardial morphogenesis and coronary vascularization, but not in adult zebrafish heart regeneration.

    Cellular modifiers of TDP-43 phase transition and cytoplasmic aggregation

    Natalie Chin, Qi Zhang ... Yihong Ye
    A genome-wide RNA interference screen identified cellular processes that modulate the phase separation of a TDP-43 mutant, providing a framework for dissecting the link between its phase behavior and disease-associated aggregation.

    BetaII-spectrin gaps and patches emerge from the patterned assembly of the actin/spectrin membrane skeleton in human motor neuron axons

    Nahir Guadalupe Gazal, Maria Jose Castellanos-Montiel ... Nicolás Unsain
    An actin-nucleation-dependent assembly of the axonal membrane skeleton reveals that βII-spectrin gap-and-patch patterns in human motor neurons represent an intermediate stage of cytoskeletal maturation.

    Cortical layer 6b mediates state-dependent changes in brain activity and effects of orexin on waking and sleep

    Elise J Meijer, Marissa Mueller ... Zoltan Molnar
    Layer 6b neurons shape state-dependent brain rhythms and responses to orexin, revealing an underappreciated cortical mechanism that may help explain disrupted sleep-wake regulation in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders more broadly.

    Centrosome migration and apical membrane formation during epithelial polarization in MDCK cysts

    Po-Kai Wang, Keng-Hui Lin, Tang K Tang
    Single-cell observations refute the expectation that centrosome positioning is critical for epithelial cell polarization while showing that proper positioning enhances polarization efficiency.
