    Spatiotemporally precise optogenetic activation of sensory neurons in freely walking Drosophila

    Brian D DeAngelis, Jacob A Zavatone-Veth ... Damon A Clark
    A simple, computationally efficient method provides spatiotemporally precise optogenetic perturbations in freely walking Drosophila, revealing the asymmetries and region-specificity of behavioral programs evoked by activating mechanosensory and chemosensory neurons.

    Partial loss of CFIm25 causes learning deficits and aberrant neuronal alternative polyadenylation

    Callison E Alcott, Hari Krishna Yalamanchili ... Huda Y Zoghbi
    Partial reduction of CFIm25 protein levels leads to misregulated alternative polyadenylation in neurons and learning deficits.

    Charting the native architecture of Chlamydomonas thylakoid membranes with single-molecule precision

    Wojciech Wietrzynski, Miroslava Schaffer ... Benjamin D Engel
    In situ cryo-electron tomography resolves individual photosynthetic complexes within native thylakoid membranes, revealing how thylakoid architecture sorts proteins into discrete membrane domains.

    Proteome dynamics during homeostatic scaling in cultured neurons

    Aline Ricarda Dörrbaum, Beatriz Alvarez-Castelao ... Erin M Schuman
    Dynamic SILAC labeling in combination with mass spectrometry revealed substantial regulation of protein synthesis, degradation, turnover, and abundance during homeostatic scaling in neurons.

    Impact of community piped water coverage on re-infection with urogenital schistosomiasis in rural South Africa

    Polycarp Mogeni, Alain Vandormael ... Frank Tanser
    Scale-up of piped water coverage in the local community strongly protects against S. haematobium re-infection intensity among primary school-going children following treatment with praziquantel.

    Enhanced ER-associated degradation of HMG CoA reductase causes embryonic lethality associated with Ubiad1 deficiency

    Youngah Jo, Steven S Kim ... Russell A DeBose-Boyd
    Embryonic lethality associated with deficiency of UBIAD1, which synthesizes a vitamin K2 subtype, results from aberrant ER-associated degradation of the cholesterol biosynthetic enzyme HMG CoA reductase.

    Different CFTR modulator combinations downregulate inflammation differently in cystic fibrosis

    Heledd H Jarosz-Griffiths, Thomas Scambler ... Daniel Peckham
    CFTR modulators have potent innate anti-inflammatory properties that can be measured in clinic, both ex vivo and in vitro, which can be used to predict treatment efficacy.

    Estimated effectiveness of symptom and risk screening to prevent the spread of COVID-19

    Katelyn Gostic, Ana CR Gomez ... James O Lloyd-Smith
    Even in the best-case scenario, screening for COVID-19 misses well over half of infected travellers.

    Anti-PD-1 immunotherapy leads to tuberculosis reactivation via dysregulation of TNF-α

    Liku B Tezera, Magdalena K Bielecka ... Paul T Elkington
    Immune checkpoint inhibition therapy for cancer paradoxically activates tuberculosis infection, and advanced human cell culture modelling demonstrates excess TNF-α section is the primary driver.
