    Essential function of transmembrane transcription factor MYRF in promoting transcription of miRNA lin-4 during C. elegans development

    Zhimin Xu, Zhao Wang ... Yingchuan B Qi
    The transcriptional activation of the key developmental timer gene, microRNA lin-4, is driven by the transmembrane transcription factor MYRF following its temporally regulated self-cleavage at the cell membrane.

    Novel autophagy inducers by accelerating lysosomal clustering against Parkinson’s disease

    Yuki Date, Yukiko Sasazawa ... Shinji Saiki
    Lysosomal clustering around the microtubule-organizing centre would be a promising therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease.

    Neurofeedback training can modulate task-relevant memory replay rate in rats

    Anna K Gillespie, Daniela Astudillo Maya ... Loren M Frank
    A neurofeedback training paradigm provides a new approach to manipulating physiologically relevant hippocampal replay.

    Bacterial exonuclease III expands its enzymatic activities on single-stranded DNA

    Hao Wang, Chen Ye ... Yan Li
    Bacterial exonuclease III exhibits underestimated enzymatic activities on single-stranded DNA, which may redefine its roles in relevant biological processes and biosensor development.

    Goal-directed vocal planning in a songbird

    Anja T Zai, Anna E Stepien ... Richard HR Hahnloser
    Zebra finches are capable of overt vocal planning, but to reach a distant vocal target beyond the range of recently produced pitch requires both practice and auditory feedback.
    1. Neuroscience

    A fear conditioned cue orchestrates a suite of behaviors in rats

    Amanda Chu, Nicholas T Gordon ... Michael A McDannald
    Comprehensive behavioral ethograms reveal a fear conditioned cue to elicit a temporally organized suite of behaviors spanning freezing, locomotion, rearing, and jumping.

    CYRI-B-mediated macropinocytosis drives metastasis via lysophosphatidic acid receptor uptake

    Savvas Nikolaou, Amelie Juin ... Laura M Machesky
    Macropinocytosis of the signalling receptor LPAR1, by an actin and CYRI-B-dependent mechanism, impacts on progression and spread of pancreatic cancer in a mouse model.

    Structure and function of the ROR2 cysteine-rich domain in vertebrate noncanonical WNT5A signaling

    Samuel C Griffiths, Jia Tan ... Hsin-Yi Henry Ho
    Structure-function analysis of the ROR2 cysteine-rich domain reveals a new mechanism of WNT5A reception at the cell surface and provides new insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of Robinow syndrome-driving ROR2 mutations.

    Hippocampus and striatum show distinct contributions to longitudinal changes in value-based learning in middle childhood

    Johannes Falck, Lei Zhang ... Yee Lee Shing
    Longitudinal and computational analyses reveal an early and temporally stable hippocampal and striatal involvement in reinforcement learning in 6-to-7-year-old children.

    ER-to-lysosome Ca2+ refilling followed by K+ efflux-coupled store-operated Ca2+ entry in inflammasome activation and metabolic inflammation

    Hyereen Kang, Seong Woo Choi ... Myung-Shik Lee
    The role of lysosomal Ca2+ flux associated with K+ efflux, a well-known event in inflammasome activation in metabolic inflammation and inflammasome activation, has been presented.
