    Autoantibody discovery across monogenic, acquired, and COVID-19-associated autoimmunity with scalable PhIP-seq

    Sara E Vazquez, Sabrina A Mann ... Joseph L DeRisi
    A high-throughput extension of PhIP-seq reveals novel antigen specificities leading to new insights across multiple human autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, enables application of machine learning approaches to PhIP-seq datasets, and highlights the importance of controlled PhIP-seq cohorts.

    Sugar sensation and mechanosensation in the egg-laying preference shift of Drosophila suzukii

    Wanyue Wang, Hany KM Dweck ... John R Carlson
    Drosophila suzukii, which lays eggs on ripe fruits, differs from Drosophila melanogaster in sweet sensation, mechanosensation, and their integration.

    Transversal functional connectivity and scene-specific processing in the human entorhinal-hippocampal circuitry

    Xenia Grande, Magdalena M Sauvage ... David Berron
    The human entorhinal-hippocampal circuitry is characterized by an information-specific functional organization where two routes, that are preferentially connected to the parahippocampal cortex or the perirhinal and retrosplenial cortices, divide the entorhinal cortex as well as hippocampal subiculum and CA1 subregions.

    A phenotype-based forward genetic screen identifies Dnajb6 as a sick sinus syndrome gene

    Yonghe Ding, Di Lang ... Xiaolei Xu
    Dnajb6 is identified as a novel sick sinus syndrome causative gene that exhibits a unique expression pattern within a subpopulation of sinus node pacemaker cells.

    Modeling and mechanical perturbations reveal how spatially regulated anchorage gives rise to spatially distinct mechanics across the mammalian spindle

    Pooja Suresh, Vahe Galstyan ... Sophie Dumont
    Coarse-grained modeling of mammalian kinetochore-fiber shapes generated under microneedle manipulation reveals the need for lateral anchorage 1-3 μm from the kinetochore to robustly preserve their orientation in the spindle center, promoting mechanical integrity in the dynamic spindle.

    Molecular mechanism of Afadin substrate recruitment to the receptor phosphatase PTPRK via its pseudophosphatase domain

    Iain M Hay, Katie E Mulholland ... Janet E Deane
    Substrate recognition by a receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase is mediated by binding to its pseudophosphatase domain via a short helix that is >100 amino acids distant from the target phosphosite, uncovering principles of phosphatase substrate recognition and potential scaffolding functions.

    Postsynaptic burst reactivation of hippocampal neurons enables associative plasticity of temporally discontiguous inputs

    Tanja Fuchsberger, Claudia Clopath ... Ole Paulsen
    Neuronal reactivation during dopamine modulation induces input-specific LTP at previously primed hippocampal synapses, suggesting a possible solution to the credit assignment problem and a mechanism for memory linking.

    The Na+/K+ pump dominates control of glycolysis in hippocampal dentate granule cells

    Dylan J Meyer, Carlos Manlio Díaz-García ... Gary Yellen
    Neuronal glycolysis to restore energy consumed by ion movements is activated by engagement of the Na+/K+ pump, either directly by Na+ influx or indirectly, when Ca2+ influx is converted to Na+ accumulation by Na+/Ca2+ exchange.
