    Structures of human dynein in complex with the lissencephaly 1 protein, LIS1

    Janice M Reimer, Morgan E DeSantis ... Andres E Leschziner
    Structures of human cytoplasmic dynein-1 bound to its regulator LIS1 reveal the interfaces involved in forming the complex and provide a context for disease-linked mutations.

    Exploring therapeutic strategies for infantile neuronal axonal dystrophy (INAD/PARK14)

    Guang Lin, Burak Tepe ... Hugo J Bellen
    Endolysosmal trafficking defects, expansion of lysosomes, elevation of ceramides, and disruption of mitochondria are root causes of INAD/PARK14.

    A CRISPR screen in intestinal epithelial cells identifies novel factors for polarity and apical transport

    Katharina MC Klee, Michael W Hess ... Lukas A Huber
    Applying a CRISPR knockout screen in polarized intestinal epithelial cells and subsequent phenotypic analyses identified various genes, of which several were previously not associated with epithelial homeostasis, to be relevant for proper epithelial polarization, apical cargo transport, and endo/lysosomal morphology.

    Tissue libraries enable rapid determination of conditions that preserve antibody labeling in cleared mouse and human tissue

    Theodore J Zwang, Rachel E Bennett ... Bradley T Hyman
    Conditions for multiplexed antibody labeling in mouse brain tissue translates to effective labeling in human brain tissue when samples are prepared similarly.

    Intermittent fasting induces rapid hepatocyte proliferation to restore the hepatostat in the mouse liver

    Abby Sarkar, Yinhua Jin ... Roel Nusse
    Hepatocytes proliferate to maintain a constant liver-to-body mass ratio during intermittent fasting.

    Microstructural and crystallographic evolution of palaeognath (Aves) eggshells

    Seung Choi, Mark E Hauber ... David J Varricchio
    The eggshells of palaeognath birds (e.g. ostrich, moa, kiwi, emu) have diverse homology and convergent features, and are useful modern analogues for the evolution of non-avian dinosaur eggshells.

    T-REX17 is a transiently expressed non-coding RNA essential for human endoderm formation

    Alexandro Landshammer, Adriano Bolondi ... Alexander Meissner
    Discovery of a novel long non-coding RNA overlapping the distal SOX17 enhancer (eSOX17) that plays an essential role in human endoderm development.

    A choline-releasing glycerophosphodiesterase essential for phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis and blood stage development in the malaria parasite

    Abhinay Ramaprasad, Paul-Christian Burda ... Michael J Blackman
    The malaria parasite uses an enzyme called GDPD to absorb choline, an important nutrient, from the bloodstream and this is essential for the parasite to survive inside the red blood cell.

    Dysregulation of the PRUNE2/PCA3 genetic axis in human prostate cancer: from experimental discovery to validation in two independent patient cohorts

    Richard C Lauer, Marc Barry ... Wadih Arap
    PRUNE2/PCA3 axis dysregulation is an early, rather than late, event in prostate cancer tumorigenesis.

    Nanobodies combined with DNA-PAINT super-resolution reveal a staggered titin nanoarchitecture in flight muscles

    Florian Schueder, Pierre Mangeol ... Frank Schnorrer
    The two Drosophila titin homologs Sallimus and Projectin display a precise tandem arrangement in the sarcomere that may explain how sarcomere length is regulated outside of vertebrates.
