    Structure of the HOPS tethering complex, a lysosomal membrane fusion machinery

    Dmitry Shvarev, Jannis Schoppe ... Christian Ungermann
    The structure of the yeast HOPS tethering complex suggests how this large complex may catalyze fusion by tethering Rab-decorated membranes and promoting the assembly of SNAREs.

    Distinct neurexin-cerebellin complexes control AMPA- and NMDA-receptor responses in a circuit-dependent manner

    Jinye Dai, Kif Liakath-Ali ... Thomas C Südhof
    A genetic manipulation of the Nrxn1/3SS4+-Cbln1/2 complex reveals this signaling pathway has no role in synapse formation but functions to shape the NMDAR- and AMPAR-content at multiple types of synapses with distinct facets in diverse circuits.

    Microtubules restrict F-actin polymerization to the immune synapse via GEF-H1 to maintain polarity in lymphocytes

    Judith Pineau, Léa Pinon ... Paolo Pierobon
    Microfluidics and dynamic imaging allow systematic characterization of polarization kinetics in B lymphocytes and highlight the role of microtubules as master regulators of actin polymerization at the immune synapse.

    The ellipse of insignificance, a refined fragility index for ascertaining robustness of results in dichotomous outcome trials

    David Robert Grimes
    An ellipse of insignificant analysis is a robust method for ascertaining the strength of even large dichotomous outcome trials in biomedical science, and is a novel means to detect potentially dubious results and research fraud.

    Non-rapid eye movement sleep determines resilience to social stress

    Brittany J Bush, Caroline Donnay ... J Christopher Ehlen
    Pre-existing variability in the regulation of non-rapid eye movement sleep predicts resilience to social-defeat stress.

    Depletion or cleavage of cohesin during anaphase differentially affects chromatin structure and segregation

    Jonay Garcia-Luis, Hélène Bordelet ... Luis Aragon
    Cohesin role in chromosome organisation during anaphase is necessary for the segregation of chromosomes.

    Vinculin recruitment to α-catenin halts the differentiation and maturation of enterocyte progenitors to maintain homeostasis of the Drosophila intestine

    Jerome Bohere, Buffy L Eldridge-Thomas, Golnar Kolahgar
    A subset of intestinal precursor cells is able to sense mechanical forces at cell–cell junctions to control the production of specialised cells.

    Determination of oligomeric states of proteins via dual-color colocalization with single molecule localization microscopy

    Hua Leonhard Tan, Stefanie Bungert-Plümke ... Gabriel Stölting
    The DCC-SMLM algorithm allows to determine protein oligomeric states in situ, using the information obtained from the colocalization of fluorescent markers, overcoming the need for extraction of proteins from cells or complicated experimental setups when using microscopy.

    Highly efficient generation of isogenic pluripotent stem cell models using prime editing

    Hanqin Li, Oriol Busquets ... Frank Soldner
    A highly efficient platform to engineer designer mutations in human stem cells using RNA-based delivery of prime editing components.

    Human WDR5 promotes breast cancer growth and metastasis via KMT2-independent translation regulation

    Wesley L Cai, Jocelyn Fang-Yi Chen ... Qin Yan
    The chromatin regulator WDR5 is a regulator of translation, and small molecule inhibitors or degraders of WDR5 can be used to treat triple-negative breast cancer.
