    Drosophila PDGF/VEGF signaling from muscles to hepatocyte-like cells protects against obesity

    Arpan C Ghosh, Sudhir Gopal Tattikota ... Norbert Perrimon
    A muscle-derived signaling molecule suppresses excessive accumulation of lipids in the Drosophila adipose tissue by activating the Pi3K/Akt/mTOR signaling cascade in the Drosophila hepatocyte-like cells.

    Conformation of the nuclear pore in living cells is modulated by transport state

    Joan Pulupa, Harriet Prior ... Sanford M Simon
    Polarized fluorescence microscopy of individual nuclear pores in vivo reveals conformational changes in select domains of proteins of the inner ring.

    Deciphering the combinatorial landscape of immunity

    Antonio Cappuccio, Shane T Jensen ... Elena Zaslavsky
    The immune Synergistic/Antagonistic Interaction Learner (iSAIL) resource has the capacity to generate insight into combinatorial immunity, help guide hypothesis generation and further experimentation relevant to basic research and drug therapeutics.

    Asynchrony between virus diversity and antibody selection limits influenza virus evolution

    Dylan H Morris, Velislava N Petrova ... Colin A Russell
    Despite the virus' error prone polymerase, influenza virus antigenic evolution is rare, even in previously immune hosts, virus replication occurs before producing new antibodies.

    Learning speed and detection sensitivity controlled by distinct cortico-fugal neurons in visual cortex

    Sarah Ruediger, Massimo Scanziani
    Neural pathways from mammalian visual cortex to ancestral brain structures control learning speed and performance of a simple detection task.

    Cytosolic calcium regulates cytoplasmic accumulation of TDP-43 through Calpain-A and Importin α3

    Jeong Hyang Park, Chang Geon Chung ... Sung Bae Lee
    Genetic and optogenetic analyses in Drosophila neurons reveal calcium as one of the key regulators of nucleocytoplasmic localization of TDP-43 via Calpain-A and Importin α3.

    Ultrastructural comparison of dendritic spine morphology preserved with cryo and chemical fixation

    Hiromi Tamada, Jerome Blanc ... Graham W Knott
    Cryo preservation of brain tissue reveals dendritic spines with thinner necks compared to those prepared with chemical fixation.

    A positive feedback loop between Flower and PI(4,5)P2 at periactive zones controls bulk endocytosis in Drosophila

    Tsai-Ning Li, Yu-Jung Chen ... Chi-Kuang Yao
    The interplay between the Flower Ca2+ channel and PI(4,5)P2 spatiotemporally couples synaptic vesicle exocytosis to activity-dependent bulk endocytosis and synaptic vesicle reformation from bulk endosomes.

    Neuropeptide VF neurons promote sleep via the serotonergic raphe

    Daniel A Lee, Grigorios Oikonomou ... David A Prober
    Experiments using zebrafish identify a novel sleep-promoting neuronal circuit in which hypothalamic NPVF neurons promote sleep via the hindbrain serotonergic raphe nuclei, which promote sleep in both zebrafish and mice.

    PRD-2 directly regulates casein kinase I and counteracts nonsense-mediated decay in the Neurospora circadian clock

    Christina M Kelliher, Randy Lambreghts ... Jay C Dunlap
    Casein kinase I, a pivotal kinase in the circadian clock encoded by ck-1a, is positively regulated by a novel RNA-binding protein that protects ck-1a transcripts from nonsense-mediated decay.
