    A novel rhesus macaque model of Huntington’s disease recapitulates key neuropathological changes along with motor and cognitive decline

    Alison R Weiss, William A Liguore ... Jodi L McBride
    mHTT delivery in key cortical and subcortical brain regions leads to hallmark mHTT aggregate formation, gray and white matter degenerative changes, along with motor and cognitive decline in a new macaque model of Huntington's disease.

    Association of lithocholic acid with skeletal muscle hypertrophy through TGR5-IGF-1 and skeletal muscle mass in cultured mouse myotubes, chronic liver disease rats and humans

    Yasuyuki Tamai, Akiko Eguchi ... Hayato Nakagawa
    Lithocholic acid associates with skeletal muscle mass and plays an important role in skeletal muscle hypertrophy through activation of the bile acid receptor.

    Stability and asynchrony of local communities but less so diversity increase regional stability of Inner Mongolian grassland

    Yonghui Wang, Shaopeng Wang ... Bernhard Schmid
    The regional stability across distant local communities is related to the stability of and asynchronous dynamics among local communities, which are strongly impacted by population dynamics of a few abundant species and relative weakly by species diversity.

    Group II truncated haemoglobin YjbI prevents reactive oxygen species-induced protein aggregation in Bacillus subtilis

    Takeshi Imai, Ryuta Tobe ... Hisaaki Mihara
    The repair of oxidatively damaged proteins by the newly discovered activity in YjbI is important for the adaptation of Bacillus subtilis to oxidative environments.

    A dopamine-gated learning circuit underpins reproductive state-dependent odor preference in Drosophila females

    Ariane C Boehm, Anja B Friedrich ... Ilona C Grunwald Kadow
    Behavioral and in vivo imaging analysis in the fly suggests that mating-related sensory experience regulates female odor perception and expression of choice behavior through a dopamine-gated learning circuit.

    Early anteroposterior regionalisation of human neural crest is shaped by a pro-mesodermal factor

    Antigoni Gogolou, Celine Souilhol ... Anestis Tsakiridis
    A thorough insight into the previously unrecognised role of a critical developmental regulator known as TBXT in influencing the specification of human trunk neural crest cells, the presumed precursors of the childhood tumour neuroblastoma.

    Integrative analysis of metabolite GWAS illuminates the molecular basis of pleiotropy and genetic correlation

    Courtney J Smith, Nasa Sinnott-Armstrong ... Jonathan K Pritchard
    Genetic variants acting between biologically related metabolite pairs often reflect biology local to the traits and have effect directions contrasting those of upstream or downstream variants, which can result in striking, biologically interpretable heterogeneity in genetic correlation across the genome.

    Hemocyte differentiation to the megacyte lineage enhances mosquito immunity against Plasmodium

    Ana Beatriz F Barletta, Banhisikha Saha ... Carolina Barillas-Mury
    Toll signaling modulates hemocyte differentiation into the megacyte lineage and their recruitment to the midgut greatly enhances mosquito immunity against Plasmodium.

    Dynamic allostery in substrate binding by human thymidylate synthase

    Jeffrey P Bonin, Paul J Sapienza, Andrew L Lee
    The mechanism of substrate binding cooperativity in human thymidylate synthase does not derive from millisecond dynamic interconversion between active and inactive conformations in solution, but instead results primarily from differential changes in faster side-chain motions (conformational entropy), facilitated by a disordered N-terminus.

    Independent regulation of mitochondrial DNA quantity and quality in Caenorhabditis elegans primordial germ cells

    Aaron ZA Schwartz, Nikita Tsyba ... Jeremy Nance
    Caenorhabditis elegans utilize multiple strategies to optimize germline mitochondrial genome integrity at the foundational stage of gonad development.
