    Maternal H3K36 and H3K27 HMTs protect germline development via regulation of the transcription factor LIN-15B

    Chad Steven Cockrum, Susan Strome
    The H3K36 and H3K27 histone methyltransferases MES-4 and PRC2 protect survival of the nascent germline in Caenorhabditis elegans by repressing expression of X-linked genes, including the key transcription factor LIN-15B.

    Deconstructing cold-induced brown adipocyte neogenesis in mice

    Rayanne B Burl, Elizabeth Ann Rondini ... James G Granneman
    Single-cell RNA-sequencing, spatial genomics, and histological analyses reveal that cold-induced brown adipose neogenesis is a complex adaptive response to elevated metabolic demand involving dynamic interactions between recruited immune cells and a subpopulation of poised adipocyte progenitors.

    Brain-wide analysis of the supraspinal connectome reveals anatomical correlates to functional recovery after spinal injury

    Zimei Wang, Adam Romanski ... Murray G Blackmore
    Three-dimensional imaging and automated, brain-wide cell counting yield new insight into the diversity of neurons that connect the brain to the spinal cord and their different sensitivity to spinal cord damage.

    A Permian fish reveals widespread distribution of neopterygian-like jaw suspension

    Thodoris Argyriou, Sam Giles, Matt Friedman
    μCT-aided study illuminates the cranial endoskeleton and interrelationships of the Permian actinopterygian †Brachydegma, which is now excluded from crown neopterygians despite exhibiting a double jaw joint.

    Genomic epidemiology of the first two waves of SARS-CoV-2 in Canada

    Angela McLaughlin, Vincent Montoya ... Jeffrey B Joy
    Canadian COVID-19 travel restrictions imposed in March 2020 greatly reduced SARS-CoV-2 importations, but were insufficient to prevent new sublineages of similar transmissibility from being introduced and replacing early sublineages.

    Therapeutic deep brain stimulation disrupts movement-related subthalamic nucleus activity in parkinsonian mice

    Jonathan S Schor, Isabelle Gonzalez Montalvo ... Alexandra B Nelson
    In a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus disrupts movement-related neural activity in parallel with relieving motor symptoms.

    Engineered natural killer cells impede the immunometabolic CD73-adenosine axis in solid tumors

    Andrea M Chambers, Kyle B Lupo ... Sandro Matosevic
    Genetically engineered, CD73-redirected human NK cells show potent antitumor activity in vivo by impairing adenosinergic activity of CD73 in cancer.

    DIP2 is a unique regulator of diacylglycerol lipid homeostasis in eukaryotes

    Sudipta Mondal, Priyadarshan Kinatukara ... Rajan Sankaranarayanan
    DIP2 is a conserved protein across fungi and animals that regulates specific diacylglycerol pools by diverting them to storage lipid biosynthesis to enable cellular homeostasis and adaptations.

    A nucleation barrier spring-loads the CBM signalosome for binary activation

    Alejandro Rodriguez Gama, Tayla Miller ... Randal Halfmann
    Switches in cell state downstream of pathogen exposure are driven by a deeply conserved disorder-to-order phase transition in an immunity signaling network.

    Green fluorescent protein-like pigments optimise the internal light environment in symbiotic reef-building corals

    Elena Bollati, Niclas H Lyndby ... Daniel Wangpraseurt
    Scalar irradiance microsensor measurements performed inside the tissue of living corals show that absorption and fluorescence emission by host pigments produce dramatic spectral alterations in the light environment experienced by the symbionts.
