    Multiomic characterization of pancreatic cancer-associated macrophage polarization reveals deregulated metabolic programs driven by the GM-CSF–PI3K pathway

    Seth Boyer, Ho-Joon Lee ... Costas A Lyssiotis
    A multiomics, systems biology approach was used to define the metabolic and signaling programs that drive the fate and function of pancreatic tumor-associated macrophages.

    VTA-projecting cerebellar neurons mediate stress-dependent depression-like behaviors

    Soo Ji Baek, Jin Sung Park ... Keiko Tanaka-Yamamoto
    Long-term chemogenetic manipulation of specific cerebellar pathway involving ventral tegmental area revealed a critical role of the pathway as a proactive mediator of the stress-dependent development of depression-like behaviors.

    Three-dimensional multi-site random access photostimulation (3D-MAP)

    Yi Xue, Laura Waller ... Nicolas Pégard
    A one-photon three-dimensional light sculpture technique has been developed and demonstrated for high spatio-temporal resolution photostimulation and imaging of dozens of neurons in the intact mouse brain in vivo.

    Simultaneous brain, brainstem, and spinal cord pharmacological-fMRI reveals involvement of an endogenous opioid network in attentional analgesia

    Valeria Oliva, Ron Hartley-Davies ... Jonathan CW Brooks
    Attention-grabbing tasks produce rapid opioid-mediated analgesia via the descending pain modulation network to alter spinal neuronal activity.

    Topoisomerase VI is a chirally-selective, preferential DNA decatenase

    Shannon J McKie, Parth Rakesh Desai ... Keir C Neuman
    Topoisomerase VI selectively catalyzes strand passage of DNA molecules juxtaposed at close to a right angle, which explains the observed chiral-dependent activity and preferential DNA decatenation versus supercoil relaxation.

    Muscle systems and motility of early animals highlighted by cnidarians from the basal Cambrian

    Xing Wang, Jean Vannier ... Jian Han
    Exceptionally preserved small shelly fossils (SSFs) from the early Cambrian Kuanchuanpu Formation (535 million years ago) reveal the muscular system of ancient cnidarians.

    Virtual mouse brain histology from multi-contrast MRI via deep learning

    Zifei Liang, Choong H Lee ... Jiangyang Zhang
    Deep convolutional neural networks can generate virtual histology from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to map cellular structures in the mouse brain with high specificity, which enables neurobiologists to use MRI to characterize neuropathology effectively.

    Extracellular electron transfer increases fermentation in lactic acid bacteria via a hybrid metabolism

    Sara Tejedor-Sanz, Eric T Stevens ... Maria L Marco
    Lactic acid bacteria engage a hybrid metabolism which blends features of fermentation and respiration when they perform extracellular electron transfer.

    Genetic integration of behavioural and endocrine components of the stress response

    Thomas M Houslay, Ryan L Earley ... Alastair Wilson
    Behavioural and physiological stress response components are integrated on the major axis of genetic covariation, with implications for health and the understanding of the evolutionary response to stressors.

    The MIDAS domain of AAA mechanoenzyme Mdn1 forms catch bonds with two different substrates

    Keith J Mickolajczyk, Paul Dominic B Olinares ... Tarun M Kapoor
    The MIDAS domain of Mdn1, an ATP-driven mechanoenzyme involved in ribosome biogenesis, forms catch bonds with two different ubiquitin-like domain-containing ribosomal assembly factors.
