    Control of spinal motor neuron terminal differentiation through sustained Hoxc8 gene activity

    Catarina Catela, Yihan Chen ... Paschalis Kratsios
    Molecular, genetic, and behavioral assays in mice establish a new role for Hox proteins in the final steps of spinal motor neuron development.

    Retinoic acid signaling mediates peripheral cone photoreceptor survival in a mouse model of retina degeneration

    Ryoji Amamoto, Grace K Wallick, Constance L Cepko
    Retinoic acid signaling from Muller glia is necessary for cone photoreceptor survival in the peripheral retina and is sufficient to promote cone survival in the central retina during retinal degeneration.

    Strip1 regulates retinal ganglion cell survival by suppressing Jun-mediated apoptosis to promote retinal neural circuit formation

    Mai Ahmed, Yutaka Kojima, Ichiro Masai
    A neuroprotective role mediated by Strip1 maintains retinal ganglion cells during development, which ensures proper positioning of inner retinal neurons and preserves the laminar architecture of the inner retina.

    Combining genotypes and T cell receptor distributions to infer genetic loci determining V(D)J recombination probabilities

    Magdalena L Russell, Aisha Souquette ... Philip Bradley
    Trans genetic variation in TdT and Artemis loci impacts V(D)J recombination probabilities.

    Chinese natural compound decreases pacemaking of rabbit cardiac sinoatrial cells by targeting second messenger regulation of f-channels

    Chiara Piantoni, Manuel Paina ... Mirko Baruscotti
    A Traditional Chinese Medicine botanical drug exerts a competitive antagonism on the cAMP-induced modulation of sinoatrial node pacemaker channels and this functional inhibition reduces the slope of the diastolic depolarization hence spontaneous cell automaticity.

    The E3 ubiquitin ligase mindbomb1 controls planar cell polarity-dependent convergent extension movements during zebrafish gastrulation

    Vishnu Muraleedharan Saraswathy, Akshai Janardhana Kurup ... Maximilian Fürthauer
    Mindbomb1 acts independently of it well-known role in Notch signalling to control the endocytic internalization of the Wnt co-receptor Ryk and thereby modulate the activity of the Planar Cell Polarity pathway that governs morphogenetic movements during embryonic development.

    Binding blockade between TLN1 and integrin β1 represses triple-negative breast cancer

    Yixiao Zhang, Lisha Sun ... Caigang Liu
    The upregulation of TLN1 contributes to the metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and a small-molecule C67399 was screened for blocking TLN1 and integrin β1 may hold promise for the treatment of TNBC.

    Shank promotes action potential repolarization by recruiting BK channels to calcium microdomains

    Luna Gao, Jian Zhao ... Joshua M Kaplan
    Shank promotes functional coupling between CaV1 calcium channels and BK potassium channels.

    State-dependent representations of mixtures by the olfactory bulb

    Aliya Mari Adefuin, Sander Lindeman ... Izumi Fukunaga
    Responses to odour mixtures are more discriminable in awake, behaving mice due to a combination of dampened responses keeping responses in the linear range and pattern decorrelation, with these two mechanisms operating on different timescales.

    Rolling circle RNA synthesis catalyzed by RNA

    Emil Laust Kristoffersen, Matthew Burman ... Philipp Holliger
    All steps of a viroid-like replication cycle can be catalyzed by RNA alone.
