    The neural basis for a persistent internal state in Drosophila females

    David Deutsch, Diego Pacheco ... Mala Murthy
    A set of sexually dimorphic neurons in female flies is part of a recurrent neural network and drives minutes-long persistent neural activity and persistent social behaviors.

    Correlating STED and synchrotron XRF nano-imaging unveils cosegregation of metals and cytoskeleton proteins in dendrites

    Florelle Domart, Peter Cloetens ... Richard Ortega
    The development of high-resolution correlative imaging of metals and proteins reveals the interaction of copper and zinc with the synaptic architecture of neurons.

    A digital 3D reference atlas reveals cellular growth patterns shaping the Arabidopsis ovule

    Athul Vijayan, Rachele Tofanelli ... Kay Schneitz
    Deep imaging, machine-learning-based segmentation, and tissue annotation resulted in a developmental series of 3D digital ovules with cellular resolution allowing next-level analysis of the ontogenesis of this complex organ.

    Bacterial symbiont subpopulations have different roles in a deep-sea symbiosis

    Tjorven Hinzke, Manuel Kleiner ... Stephanie Markert
    Physiological differentiation during symbiosis leads to division of labor between smaller and larger cells in an uncultured bacterial tubeworm symbiont population and results in remarkable metabolic diversity and complexity.

    Therapeutic genetic variation revealed in diverse Hsp104 homologs

    Zachary M March, Katelyn Sweeney ... James Shorter
    Exploring natural Hsp104 variation reveals unexpected tuning of a passive activity that inhibits aggregation of specific substrates to selectively counter TDP-43 or alpha-synuclein proteotoxicity connected to neurodegenerative disease.

    Functional partitioning of a liquid-like organelle during assembly of axonemal dyneins

    Chanjae Lee, Rachael M Cox ... John B Wallingford
    DynAPs are liquid-like organelles that are partitioned into functional sub-domains.

    Abstract rules drive adaptation in the subcortical sensory pathway

    Alejandro Tabas, Glad Mihai ... Katharina von Kriegstein
    Representations in the subcortical sensory pathway do not only adapt to stimulus properties but also rely on the observer’s subjective model of the world.

    Structural and mechanistic basis of the EMC-dependent biogenesis of distinct transmembrane clients

    Lakshmi E Miller-Vedam, Bastian Bräuning ... Jonathan S Weissman
    Structure-function characterization of the EMC's cytoplasmic, transmembrane, and lumenal domains reveal features critical for terminal helix insertion and a specialized role for the lumenal domain in polytopic membrane protein biogenesis.

    Constitutive activation of cellular immunity underlies the evolution of resistance to infection in Drosophila

    Alexandre B Leitão, Ramesh Arunkumar ... Francis M Jiggins
    Single-cell transcriptomics of immune cells demonstrates that populations evolve inducible defences when infection rates are low and constitutive defences when infection is common.

    Mechanistic insights into volatile anesthetic modulation of K2P channels

    Aboubacar Wague, Thomas T Joseph ... Paul M Riegelhaupt
    The volatile anesthetic isoflurane directly binds to the transmembrane domains of the TREK1 channel to allosterically modulate its function.
