    Deep-sequence phylogenetics to quantify patterns of HIV transmission in the context of a universal testing and treatment trial – BCPP/Ya Tsie trial

    Lerato E Magosi, Yinfeng Zhang ... Marc Lipsitch
    HIV transmissions into intervention communities from control communities in the Botswana/Ya Tsie trial were similar to the reverse at baseline, and 10 times more common post-baseline, concordant with a predicted benefit of a universal test-and-treat HIV prevention intervention.

    Host ecology regulates interspecies recombination in bacteria of the genus Campylobacter

    Evangelos Mourkas, Koji Yahara ... Samuel K Sheppard
    Horizontal gene transfer can potentially merge genomes from distinct bacterial species, but isolation in different hosts creates a physical barrier to gene flow.

    Augmentation of progestin signaling rescues testis organization and spermatogenesis in zebrafish with the depletion of androgen signaling

    Gang Zhai, Tingting Shu ... Zhan Yin
    Augmentation of progestin signaling promotes testis development and spermatogenesis independent from andorgen signaling in zebrafish.

    Environmentally sensitive hotspots in the methylome of the early human embryo

    Matt J Silver, Ayden Saffari ... Andrew M Prentice
    259 CpGs associated with season of conception in rural Gambians constitute a valuable resource for investigating epigenetic mechanisms linking early exposures to lifelong health and disease.

    Paraxial mesoderm organoids model development of human somites

    Christoph Budjan, Shichen Liu ... Sahand Hormoz
    Human somites are formed in organoids from human pluripotent stem cells.

    The m6A reader YTHDF2 is a negative regulator for dendrite development and maintenance of retinal ganglion cells

    Fugui Niu, Peng Han ... Sheng-Jian Ji
    The m6A reader YTHDF2 negatively regulates retinal ganglion cell dendrite branching through destabilizing its m6A-modified target mRNAs which control dendrite development and maintenance, and Ythdf2 conditional knockout in retina improves visual acuity and alleviates acute ocular hypertension-induced glaucoma in mice.

    Frequency- and spike-timing-dependent mitochondrial Ca2+ signaling regulates the metabolic rate and synaptic efficacy in cortical neurons

    Ohad Stoler, Alexandra Stavsky ... Ilya Fleidervish
    Optical recordings from L5 cortical pyramidal neurons expressing mitochondria-targeted Ca2+ indicator, mitoGCaMP6m, reveal compartment-specific mitochondrial responses to spike firing and synaptic activity.

    In vivo intraoral waterflow quantification reveals hidden mechanisms of suction feeding in fish

    Pauline Provini, Alexandre Brunet ... Sam Van Wassenbergh
    The integration of biplanar X-ray videos with 3D X-ray particle tracking revealed that fish use a combination of intraoral 'central jet' waterflow pattern and inertia to guide food toward the digestive tract during suction feeding.

    TREM2 regulates purinergic receptor-mediated calcium signaling and motility in human iPSC-derived microglia

    Amit Jairaman, Amanda McQuade ... Michael D Cahalan
    Deletion of Alzheimer’s disease risk gene TREM2 augments sensitivity to the purinergic agonist ADP, leading to increased Ca2+ influx and reduced directional migration in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia.

    Pum2 and TDP-43 refine area-specific cytoarchitecture post-mitotically and modulate translation of Sox5, Bcl11b, and Rorb mRNAs in developing mouse neocortex

    Kawssar Harb, Melanie Richter ... Kent Duncan
    RNA-binding proteins use both translational activation and repression of key molecular determinants to post-mitotically sculpt the identity and connectivity of developing mouse neocortex in an area-specific manner.
