    Hypoxia-inducible factor induces cysteine dioxygenase and promotes cysteine homeostasis in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Kurt Warnhoff, Sushila Bhattacharya ... Gary Ruvkun
    Cysteine dioxygenase, a conserved and critical enzyme in sulfur amino acid metabolism, is activated by the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor.

    A novel triptolide analog downregulates NF-κB and induces mitochondrial apoptosis pathways in human pancreatic cancer

    Qiaomu Tian, Peng Zhang ... Anita S Chong
    CK21 emerges as a compelling candidate for pancreatic cancer treatment, and its capacity to target the NF-κB pathway, induce mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis, and do so with minimal toxicity is a significant stride in the quest for improved therapies.

    Hippocampome.org 2.0 is a knowledge base enabling data-driven spiking neural network simulations of rodent hippocampal circuits

    Diek W Wheeler, Jeffrey D Kopsick ... Giorgio A Ascoli
    Hippocampome.org v1.0, a foundational classification system of hippocampal neuron types, has evolved into 2.0, which recenters the focus on new functionality to build real-scale, biologically detailed, data-driven computational simulations.

    Circuit-based intervention corrects excessive dentate gyrus output in the fragile X mouse model

    Pan-Yue Deng, Ajeet Kumar ... Vitaly A Klyachko
    Circuit-based intervention corrects irreconcilable excitability defects between dentate granule cells and mossy cells in Fmr1 knockout mice, representing a promising strategy to restore the dentate excitation/inhibition balance and circuit computations.

    Correlated signatures of social behavior in cerebellum and anterior cingulate cortex

    Sung Won Hur, Karen Safaryan ... Peyman Golshani
    Development of a novel open-source device, 'E-Scope,' to simultaneously record electrophysiology and calcium imaging in freely behaving animals, discovering co-modulation of the cerebellum, and anterior cingulate cortex during social interaction.

    CryoEM structures of the human CLC-2 voltage-gated chloride channel reveal a ball-and-chain gating mechanism

    Mengyuan Xu, Torben Neelands ... Merritt Maduke
    A combination of high-resolution structure determination, electrophysiology, and MD simulations reveal fundamental insight into the molecular function of voltage-gated chloride channels.
    1. Neuroscience

    SRF-deficient astrocytes provide neuroprotection in mouse models of excitotoxicity and neurodegeneration

    Surya Chandra Rao Thumu, Monika Jain ... Narendrakumar Ramanan
    Serum response factor (SRF) deficient reactive astrocytes are neuroprotective in the mammalian brain.
    1. Cell Biology

    Apical annuli are specialised sites of post-invasion secretion of dense granules in Toxoplasma

    Sara Chelaghma, Huiling Ke ... Ross F Waller
    Apicomplexan parasites secrete proteins to manipulate their hosts from sub-apical openings in their cell pellicle that are distinct from the apical complex from where invasion factors are secreted.

    RatInABox, a toolkit for modelling locomotion and neuronal activity in continuous environments

    Tom M George, Mehul Rastogi ... Caswell Barry
    A new python package standardises and simplifies how spatial behaviour and neural representations are modelled in continuous environments.

    A computational model predicts sex-specific responses to calcium channel blockers in mammalian mesenteric vascular smooth muscle

    Gonzalo Hernandez-Hernandez, Samantha C O'Dwyer ... Colleen E Clancy
    A computer model predicts different mechanisms of blood pressure regulation and effective hypertensive therapy for males and females, thereby serving as a foundational tool for improved treatment precision.
