    Syntaxin-1A modulates vesicle fusion in mammalian neurons via juxtamembrane domain dependent palmitoylation of its transmembrane domain

    Gülçin Vardar, Andrea Salazar-Lázaro ... Christian Rosenmund
    A new insight into the role of syntaxin1's juxtamembrane region in controlling palmitoylation and spontaneous neurotransmitter release.

    Notch-dependent and -independent transcription are modulated by tissue movements at gastrulation

    Julia Falo-Sanjuan, Sarah Bray
    Live-imaging of Notch-dependent transcription in vivo reveals that cell movements during gastrulation influence transcription levels, and do so downstream of Notch cleavage, illustrating the importance of crosstalk between mechanics and transcription in the context of embryonic development.

    Acquisition of cellular properties during alveolar formation requires differential activity and distribution of mitochondria

    Kuan Zhang, Erica Yao ... Pao-Tien Chuang
    Mitochondrial activity and distribution control alveolar formation by conferring distinct cellular properties.
    1. Chromosomes and Gene Expression

    Dynamic spreading of chromatin-mediated gene silencing and reactivation between neighboring genes in single cells

    Sarah Lensch, Michael H Herschl ... Lacramioara Bintu
    In a synthetic system, spreading of chromatin-mediated silencing to nearby genes depends on distance and can bypass genetic insulators, while reactivation after release of gene targeting is coordinated by insulators and promoters.
    1. Neuroscience

    A generalized cortical activity pattern at internally generated mental context boundaries during unguided narrative recall

    Hongmi Lee, Janice Chen
    Prominent transitions between different mental contexts produce a stereotyped brain state shared across internally and externally generated transitions but distinct from minor within-context transitions, potentially reflecting a major flushing and updating of mental models.

    Identification of HIV-reservoir cells with reduced susceptibility to antibody-dependent immune response

    Antonio Astorga-Gamaza, Judith Grau-Expósito ... Maria J Buzon
    The expression of CD32 in HIV-reservoir cells prevents the binding of specific anti-HIV antibodies conferring resistance to NK cell-mediated death, and gives the cell the potential to proliferate in the presence of immune complexes.
    1. Immunology and Inflammation

    Cryo-sensitive aggregation triggers NLRP3 inflammasome assembly in cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome

    Tadayoshi Karasawa, Takanori Komada ... Masafumi Takahashi
    Mutated NLRP3 forms cryo-sensitive aggregates that induce inflammasome assembly distinct from the canonical NLRP3 inflammasome.

    Lead-OR: A multimodal platform for deep brain stimulation surgery

    Simón Oxenford, Jan Roediger ... Andreas Horn
    Lead-OR visualizes results derived from microelectrode recordings in anatomical space, together with information derived from patient-specific MRI data, as well as high-resolution atlas resources during deep brain stimulation surgery.

    Stereospecific lasofoxifene derivatives reveal the interplay between estrogen receptor alpha stability and antagonistic activity in ESR1 mutant breast cancer cells

    David J Hosfield, Sandra Weber ... Sean W Fanning
    Effective antiestrogens engage a new structural interaction to improve therapeutic antagonism in hormone-resistant breast cancer cells expressing Y537S estrogen receptor alpha.

    Magnetic stimulation allows focal activation of the mouse cochlea

    Jae-Ik Lee, Richard Seist ... Shelley Fried
    Coil-based CIs have the potential to enhance the quality of restored hearing for people with severe to profound hearing loss.
