    trim-21 promotes proteasomal degradation of CED-1 for apoptotic cell clearance in C. elegans

    Lei Yuan, Peiyao Li ... Hui Xiao
    The phagocytic receptor CED-1 is kept at the appropriate level by E3 ligase trim-21-mediated ubiquitination-proteasomal degradation for apoptotic cell clearance, which is independent of retromer-dependent recycling and lysosomal degradation.

    3D single cell migration driven by temporal correlation between oscillating force dipoles

    Amélie Luise Godeau, Marco Leoni ... Daniel Riveline
    A phase shift between local contractions drives 3D cell motility in experiments and in model or how a finite area in the dipole-quadrupole space explains cell motion with zero total force.

    Disruption in structural–functional network repertoire and time-resolved subcortical fronto-temporoparietal connectivity in disorders of consciousness

    Rajanikant Panda, Aurore Thibaut ... Prejaas Tewarie
    Loss of nonstationary connectivity in a subcortical fronto-temporoparietal network distinguishes patients with minimal conscious state and unresponsive wakefulness state, strongly supporting the mesocircuit hypothesis.

    Distinct impact of IgG subclass on autoantibody pathogenicity in different IgG4-mediated diseases

    Yanxia Bi, Jian Su ... Fubin Li
    The IgG4 subclass, previously considered anti-inflammatory due to its weak effector function, could either reduce or exacerbate autoantibody pathogenicity in the context of different IgG4-mediated autoimmune diseases.

    A dynamic rhizosphere interplay between tree roots and soil bacteria under drought stress

    Yaara Oppenheimer-Shaanan, Gilad Jakoby ... Tamir Klein
    Increased root exudation rate under combined drought and bacterial inoculation and bacterial growth stimulation by specific exudation metabolites support the idea of root recruitment of beneficial bacteria, especially under water stress.

    A pulse-chasable reporter processing assay for mammalian autophagic flux with HaloTag

    Willa Wen-You Yim, Hayashi Yamamoto, Noboru Mizushima
    HaloTag becomes resistant to lysosomal proteolysis upon ligand binding, enabling us to measure various types of autophagic flux easily and precisely by using HaloTag-containing reporters for processing assays.

    Speed variations of bacterial replisomes

    Deepak Bhat, Samuel Hauf ... Simone Pigolotti
    The speed of replisomes in Escherichia coli depends on temperature and varies along the genome in a wave-like manner, with implications for bacterial physiology.

    Heritability and cross-species comparisons of human cortical functional organization asymmetry

    Bin Wan, Şeyma Bayrak ... Sofie L Valk
    Human brain suggests an asymmetric organization along a functional cortical axis describing a hierarchical functional trajectory from perceptual/action to abstract cognition, which is heritable and comparable with macaque brain, suggesting (phylo)genetic conservation and adaptation.

    Inhibition of itch by neurokinin 1 receptor (Tacr1) -expressing ON cells in the rostral ventromedial medulla in mice

    Taylor Follansbee, Dan Domocos ... Earl Carstens
    Activation of Tacr1-expressing neurons including ON cells in the rostral ventromedial medulla inhibits acute and chronic itch-related behavior.

    Earliest evidence for fruit consumption and potential seed dispersal by birds

    Han Hu, Yan Wang ... Roger BJ Benson
    Fruit consumption of Jeholornis was evidenced and indicates seed dispersal was present from early in avian radiation.
