    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.

    The role of higher-order thalamus during learning and correct performance in goal-directed behavior

    Danilo La Terra, Ann-Sofie Bjerre ... Lucy M Palmer
    The higher order thalamus encodes and influences correct action during learning and performance in a sensory-based goal-directed behavior.
    1. Neuroscience

    Contextual control of conditioned pain tolerance and endogenous analgesic systems

    Sydney Trask, Jeffrey S Mogil ... Katelyn E Sadler
    Through associative learning, environmental context can come to exert control over the endogenous opioid system such that it is recruited as a conditioned compensatory response to ongoing painful stimuli in both male and female mice, or in anticipation of a painful stimulus in females.

    Perceptual coupling and decoupling of the default mode network during mind-wandering and reading

    Meichao Zhang, Boris C Bernhardt ... Elizabeth Jefferies
    Functional neuroimaging in the human brain reveals the neurocognitive mechanisms that underpin the experience of mind-wandering during reading, explaining why comprehension is impaired.

    A light-gated transcriptional recorder for detecting cell-cell contacts

    Kelvin F Cho, Shawn M Gillespie ... Alice Y Ting
    TRACC (Transcriptional Readout Activated by Cell-cell Contacts) is an engineered molecular tool that detects and records cell-cell contacts in mammalian systems.

    A plasma membrane-localized polycystin-1/polycystin-2 complex in endothelial cells elicits vasodilation

    Charles E MacKay, Miranda Floen ... Jonathan H Jaggar
    Flow stimulates PC-1/PC-2 clusters in the plasma membrane of endothelial cells, leading to Ca2+ influx, NOS, SK channel, and IK channel activation, vasodilation, and a reduction in blood pressure.
