    Uniparental nuclear inheritance following bisexual mating in fungi

    Vikas Yadav, Sheng Sun, Joseph Heitman
    Discovery of a novel mode of sexual reproduction, termed pseudosexual reproduction, in fungi where both parents are required for mating but only one contributes to the meiotic progeny, similar to hybridogenesis in animals.

    Muscle-specific economy of force generation and efficiency of work production during human running

    Sebastian Bohm, Falk Mersmann ... Adamantios Arampatzis
    During human running, the soleus muscle was found to operate as work generator under optimal conditions for work production (high force-length potential and enthalpy efficiency) while the vastus lateralis promoted tendon energy storage and economical force generation (high force-length-velocity potential).

    Single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq uncovers shared and distinct axes of variation in dorsal LGN neurons in mice, non-human primates, and humans

    Trygve E Bakken, Cindy TJ van Velthoven ... Bosiljka Tasic
    Transcriptomic differences between relay neurons in the mature mammalian dLGN are subtle relative to striking differences in morphology and cortical projection targets.

    Hybrid protein assembly-histone modification mechanism for PRC2-based epigenetic switching and memory

    Cecilia Lövkvist, Pawel Mikulski ... Martin Howard
    Extra protein memory storage elements with positive feedbacks, in addition to histone modifications, can explain epigenetic switching and memory at the PRC2 target gene FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC).

    Understanding patterns of HIV multi-drug resistance through models of temporal and spatial drug heterogeneity

    Alison F Feder, Kristin N Harper ... Pleuni S Pennings
    In triple-drug-treated HIV, partially resistant viruses can spread and resistance to specific drugs evolves in a predictable order, potentially a result of spatial or temporal heterogeneity in drug concentrations.

    KLF10 integrates circadian timing and sugar signaling to coordinate hepatic metabolism

    Anthony A Ruberto, Aline Gréchez-Cassiau ... Michèle Teboul
    Krüppel-like factor 10 coordinates the hepatic circadian transcriptome and protects the liver from the adverse effects of increased sugar consumption.

    Emergence of a smooth interface from growth of a dendritic network against a mechanosensitive contractile material

    Medha Sharma, Tao Jiang ... Tony JC Harris
    A smooth and circular interface can form between domains of the cell cortex from local induction of a contractile actomyosin ring by centrifugal pushing forces of an expanding Arp2/3 actin network.

    Glypicans define unique roles for the Hedgehog co-receptors boi and ihog in cytoneme-mediated gradient formation

    Eléanor Simon, Carlos Jiménez-Jiménez ... Isabel Guerrero
    The glypicans Dally-like protein and Dally reveal functional non-redundancy of the Hedgehog co-receptors Boi and Ihog through independent interactions and specifically regulate cytoneme dynamics via the Ihog FNIII domain, thus setting long-range signaling.

    Systematic morphological and morphometric analysis of identified olfactory receptor neurons in Drosophila melanogaster

    Cesar Nava Gonzales, Quintyn McKaughan ... Chih-Ying Su
    A morphological characterization of Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons—conducted systematically at nanoscale resolution—yields an extensive morphometric dataset, identifies novel features of olfactory sensilla, and raises intriguing questions for how the size and shape of sensory neurons influence their function.

    The mitochondrial permeability transition pore activates the mitochondrial unfolded protein response and promotes aging

    Suzanne Angeli, Anna Foulger ... Gordon Lithgow
    Loss of the F-ATP synthase c-subunit inhibits a pathological mitochondrial permeability transition pore that is coupled to a maladaptive mitochondrial unfolded protein response while also extending lifespan.
