    Cdc4 phospho-degrons allow differential regulation of Ame1CENP-U protein stability across the cell cycle

    Miriam Böhm, Kerstin Killinger ... Stefan Westermann
    The cell cycle machinery regulates the assembly of the multi-protein kinetochore complex by targeting excess subunits for degradation via the proteasome.

    Risk of motor vehicle collisions after methadone use

    Ya-Hui Yang, Pei-Shan Ho ... Hung-Yi Chuang
    Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) can alleviate opioid dependence, however, drivers receiving MMT were at high risk of motor vehicle collisions in the present study, particularly the first 90 days of MMT.

    Impact of asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infection on the risk of subsequent symptomatic malaria in a longitudinal cohort in Kenya

    Kelsey M Sumner, Judith N Mangeni ... Steve M Taylor
    The increased risk for symptomatic malaria following an asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infection supports targeting asymptomatic infections as a tool to reduce clinical malaria in high-transmission settings.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    The need for high-quality oocyte mitochondria at extreme ploidy dictates mammalian germline development

    Marco Colnaghi, Andrew Pomiankowski, Nick Lane
    Selective transfer of mitochondria in the Balbiani body ensures high-quality oocyte mitochondria at extreme ploidy, explaining many enigmatic features of female germline architecture including germ cell loss.

    Highly contiguous assemblies of 101 drosophilid genomes

    Bernard Y Kim, Jeremy R Wang ... Dmitri A Petrov
    One hundred one high-quality drosophilid genomes are released, along with low-cost assembly workflows, as an open community resource for studying genetics, ecology, and evolution in this important model system.

    Latent gammaherpesvirus exacerbates arthritis through modification of age-associated B cells

    Isobel C Mouat, Zachary J Morse ... Marc S Horwitz
    Latent gammaherpesvirus infection predisposes mice to develop more severe disease following induction of arthritis by elevating pathogenic interferon-gamma-expressing age-associated B cells.
    1. Epidemiology and Global Health

    Future life expectancy in Europe taking into account the impact of smoking, obesity, and alcohol

    Fanny Janssen, Anastasios Bardoutsos ... Joop De Beer
    Accounting for the impact of smoking, obesity, and alcohol on past mortality trends, we project, compared to common practice, longer individual lifespans and more elderly in society for the future.

    A role for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-expressing cells in the regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) but not arcuate kisspeptin neuron output in male mice

    Charlotte Vanacker, R Anthony Defazio ... Suzanne M Moenter
    Astrocyte signaling can activate the firing of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons and stimulate hormone release.

    Extracellular signal-regulated kinase mediates chromatin rewiring and lineage transformation in lung cancer

    Yusuke Inoue, Ana Nikolic ... William W Lockwood
    Lineage transformation in lung cancer is dictated by ERK activity and requires permissive chromatin alterations in the context of targeted therapy resistance.

    The genomic consequences of hybridization

    Benjamin M Moran, Cheyenne Payne ... Molly Schumer
    A synthesis of recent hybridization literature reveals emerging patterns in the evolution of genomes after hybridization, processes proposed to explain those patterns, and important open questions to direct future hybrid genomics research.
