    Genetically engineered insects with sex-selection and genetic incompatibility enable population suppression

    Ambuj Upadhyay, Nathan R Feltman ... Michael Smanski
    Two distinct genetic biocontrol methods work synergistically to yield a novel approach in the fight against pest organisms.

    Thymocytes trigger self-antigen-controlling pathways in immature medullary thymic epithelial stages

    Noella Lopes, Nicolas Boucherit ... Magali Irla
    Self-reactive CD4+ thymocytes have a broad impact on the composition of medullary thymic epithelial cell (mTEC) subsets by acting upstream of Aire+ mTECs, which conditions the induction of T-cell tolerance.

    P2Y1 purinergic receptor identified as a diabetes target in a small-molecule screen to reverse circadian β-cell failure

    Biliana Marcheva, Benjamin J Weidemann ... Joseph Bass
    A genetically sensitized drug screen identifies a circadian diabetes target and establishes a novel discovery pathway to treat β-cell failure.

    Cellular organization in lab-evolved and extant multicellular species obeys a maximum entropy law

    Thomas C Day, Stephanie S Höhn ... Peter J Yunker
    The distributions of cellular neighborhood volumes in two very different multicellular species - snowflake yeast and Volvox carteri - are found to obey a common functional form arising from maximum entropy consideration, despite great differences in their cell division processes.

    Paradoxical neuronal hyperexcitability in a mouse model of mitochondrial pyruvate import deficiency

    Andres De La Rossa, Marine H Laporte ... Jean-Claude Martinou
    Glutamatergic neurons lacking the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier show reduced M-type potassium channel activity and hyperexcitability upon intense firing.

    Slow oscillation–spindle coupling strength predicts real-life gross-motor learning in adolescents and adults

    Michael A Hahn, Kathrin Bothe ... Kerstin Hoedlmoser
    Individualized cross-frequency analyses reveal regionally specific slow oscillation–sleep spindle coupling precision as predictor for gross-motor learning dynamics.

    Pseudohypoxic HIF pathway activation dysregulates collagen structure-function in human lung fibrosis

    Christopher J Brereton, Liudi Yao ... Mark G Jones
    Oxygen-independent (pseudohypoxic) HIF pathway activation is a core determinant of dysregulated collagen-structure function in human fibrosis.
    1. Neuroscience

    Cell-type-specific responses to associative learning in the primary motor cortex

    Candice Lee, Emerson F Harkin ... Simon Chen
    Major neuronal subtypes in M1 show differential responses to reward and reward-associated stimuli and undergo cell-type-specific plasticity following associative learning.

    A novel gene ZNF862 causes hereditary gingival fibromatosis

    Juan Wu, Dongna Chen ... Wei Li
    The third causative gene ZNF862 was novelly identified for hereditary gingival fibromatosis in a large Chinese family.

    The NDNF-like factor Nord is a Hedgehog-induced extracellular BMP modulator that regulates Drosophila wing patterning and growth

    Shu Yang, Xuefeng Wu ... Xiaoyan Zheng
    The NDNF-like factor Nord is a Hedgehog-induced and extracellular-localized dosage-dependent BMP modulator that regulates Drosophila wing patterning and growth.
