    Post-transcriptional splicing can occur in a slow-moving zone around the gene

    Allison Coté, Aoife O'Farrell ... Arjun Raj
    The existence of a slow-moving zone around the transcription site may unify conflicting models of co-transcriptional versus post-transcriptional mRNA splicing.

    Maturation of cortical input to dorsal raphe nucleus increases behavioral persistence in mice

    Nicolas Gutierrez-Castellanos, Dario Sarra ... Zachary F Mainen
    Anatomical tracing, in combination with a genetic ablation approach, identifies a critical maturation period for neocortex to dorsal raphe afferents pivotal for the development of behavioral persistence over adolescence in mice.

    ROCK and the actomyosin network control biomineral growth and morphology during sea urchin skeletogenesis

    Eman Hijaze, Tsvia Gildor ... Smadar Ben-Tabou de-Leon
    ROCK and the actomyosin network are essential for multiple aspects of sea urchin skeletogenesis, suggesting an independent deployment of these factors in biomineralization across Eukaryotes.

    STAT3 is a genetic modifier of TGF-beta induced EMT in KRAS mutant pancreatic cancer

    Stephen D'Amico, Varvara Kirillov ... Nancy C Reich
    Results show that STAT3 and KRAS jointly regulate oncogenic dependency of mutant KRAS cancer cells.

    Activating SRC/MAPK signaling via 5-HT1A receptor contributes to the effect of vilazodone on improving thrombocytopenia

    Ling Zhou, Chengyang Ni ... Jianming Wu
    Vilazodone could bind to the 5-Hydroxtrayptamine receptor 1A receptor and further regulate the SRC/MAPK signaling pathway to facilitate megakaryocyte differentiation and platelet production.

    Transcriptome-wide analysis of the function of Ded1 in translation preinitiation complex assembly in a reconstituted in vitro system

    Fujun Zhou, Julie M Bocetti ... Jon R Lorsch
    A new in vitro approach allows measurement of the efficiency of the early steps of translation initiation on every messenger RNA in yeast simultaneously.

    Disruption in CYLC1 leads to acrosome detachment, sperm head deformity, and male in/subfertility in humans and mice

    Hui-Juan Jin, Yong Fan ... Su-Ren Chen
    Cylicin-1, a perinuclear theca protein, is critical for acrosome attachment and sperm head morphology.

    Context-dependent modification of PFKFB3 in hematopoietic stem cells promotes anaerobic glycolysis and ensures stress hematopoiesis

    Shintaro Watanuki, Hiroshi Kobayashi ... Keiyo Takubo
    Isotope tracing, mathematical modeling, and single-cell ATP analysis reveal changes in blood cell metabolism under various conditions, showing stressed hematopoietic stem cells support hematopoiesis through glycolytic ATP production via PFKFB3.
    1. Neuroscience

    A single pair of pharyngeal neurons functions as a commander to reject high salt in Drosophila melanogaster

    Jiun Sang, Subash Dhakal ... Youngseok Lee
    Fruit flies have special neurons in their pharynx with ionotropic receptors to prevent consuming too much salt, which was confirmed using a variety of behavioral and physiological assays.

    Activity-dependent mitochondrial ROS signaling regulates recruitment of glutamate receptors to synapses

    Rachel L Doser, Kaz M Knight ... Frederic J Hoerndli
    In response to neuronal activity in vivo, mitochondria in dendrites of excitatory neurons inhibit recruitment of ionotropic glutamate receptors through a reactive oxygen signaling mechanism.
