    Carm1-arginine methylation of the transcription factor C/EBPα regulates transdifferentiation velocity

    Guillem Torcal Garcia, Elisabeth Kowenz-Leutz ... Thomas Graf
    A mutation in the lineage-determining regulator C/EBPα that increases the factor’s affinity for its partner PU.1 dramatically accelerates the velocity of B cell to macrophage transdifferentiation.

    Loss of the extracellular matrix protein Perlecan disrupts axonal and synaptic stability during Drosophila development

    Ellen J Guss, Yulia Akbergenova ... J Troy Littleton
    Loss of the extracellular matrix protein Perlecan leads to disruption of the neural lamella surrounding nerve bundles in Drosophila, resulting in axonal breakage and synaptic retraction of neuromuscular junctions.

    Competition between myosin II and βH-spectrin regulates cytoskeletal tension

    Consuelo Ibar, Krishna Chinthalapudi ... Kenneth D Irvine
    Insight into the activity of β-heavy spectrin is provided by the discovery that it can compete with myosin for association with F-actin, which provides explanations for its influences on Hippo signaling and morphogenesis.

    A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of childhood wheezing phenotypes identifies ANXA1 as a susceptibility locus for persistent wheezing

    Raquel Granell, John A Curtin ... Adnan Custovic
    Using unique data from five longitudinal UK birth cohorts, four distinct subsets of genetic variants were identified as differentially associated across wheezing phenotypes from infancy to adolescence with little evidence of genetic associations spanning across different phenotypes.

    Reciprocal interactions between alveolar progenitor dysfunction and aging promote lung fibrosis

    Jiurong Liang, Guanling Huang ... Dianhua Jiang
    The synergy between aging and injury impairs alveolar progenitor functions leading to progressive lung fibrosis.

    Universal gut microbial relationships in the gut microbiome of wild baboons

    Kimberly E Roche, Johannes R Bjork ... Elizabeth A Archie
    In baboon gut microbiota, most pairwise correlations in bacterial abundances are weak and negative, and bacterial correlation patterns are largely shared across hosts, rather than personalized to each hosts.

    Male rodent perirhinal cortex, but not ventral hippocampus, inhibition induces approach bias under object-based approach-avoidance conflict

    Sandeep S Dhawan, Carl Pinter ... Rutsuko Ito
    Optogenetics was used to reveal a novel role for the perirhinal cortex in regulating approach-avoidance behaviors under object-based motivational conflict.
    1. Neuroscience

    Cortico-thalamo-cortical interactions modulate electrically evoked EEG responses in mice

    Leslie D Claar, Irene Rembado ... Christof Koch
    Activating deeper layers of the cortex using cortical electrical stimulation triggers the activation of thalamic nuclei through trans-synaptic signaling, which can result in a range of complex responses that can be detected using EEG signals.

    A billion years arms-race between viruses, virophages, and eukaryotes

    Jose Gabriel Nino Barreat, Aris Katzourakis
    Phylogenetic analyses of the four core virion proteins support a new evolutionary model for the origin of the main groups of eukaryotic viruses in the kingdom Bamfordvirae.
