    Fine-tuning spatial-temporal dynamics and surface receptor expression support plasma cell-intrinsic longevity

    Zhixin Jing, Phillip Galbo ... David Fooksman
    Enigmatic long-lived plasma cells display an enhanced clustering in bone marrow niches and require CXCR4 for retention, survival, and maintenance of antibody titers.

    Homeostatic regulation of rapid eye movement sleep by the preoptic area of the hypothalamus

    John J Maurer, Alexandra Lin ... Shinjae Chung
    Preoptic area of the hypothalamus is important for the homeostatic regulation of rapid eye movement sleep.

    Structural characterization of ligand binding and pH-specific enzymatic activity of mouse Acidic Mammalian Chitinase

    Roberto Efraín Díaz, Andrew K Ecker ... James S Fraser
    Biochemical and structural investigations of the pH adaptability of mouse Acidic Mammalian Chitinase offer insights for designing enhanced enzyme variants that can function in both lung and gut.

    Expression of modified FcγRI enables myeloid cells to elicit robust tumor-specific cytotoxicity

    Leen Farhat-Younis, Manho Na ... Yaron Carmi
    Genetic engineering of murine myeloid cells reveals the challenges in ectopic expression of chemiric receptors and provides a novel framework to endow them with tumor-specific cytotoxic ability.

    Identification and characterization of intermediate states in mammalian neural crest cell epithelial to mesenchymal transition and delamination

    Ruonan Zhao, Emma L Moore ... Paul A Trainor
    Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a continuous process, in which the transition or intermediate states can be molecularly and spatially defined, shedding new light on development and disease EMT.

    A chronic signaling TGFb zebrafish reporter identifies immune response in melanoma

    Haley R Noonan, Alexandra M Thornock ... Leonard I Zon
    An in vivo reporter of TGFb signaling in zebrafish reveals that melanoma cells undergoing chronic TGFb signaling up-regulate extracellular matrix genes, down-regulate IFN, and are preferentially phagocytosed by macrophages compared to non-TGFb responsive melanoma cells.
    1. Neuroscience

    Distance and grid-like codes support the navigation of abstract social space in the human brain

    Zilu Liang, Simeng Wu ... Chao Liu
    New data provides partial evidence that abstract social knowledge adopts a similar encoding scheme as spatial cognitive maps in the human brain.
    1. Developmental Biology

    Loss of ninein interferes with osteoclast formation and causes premature ossification

    Thierry Gilbert, Camille Gorlt ... Andreas Merdes
    It is shown that the absence of the centrosome protein ninein provokes premature ossification during mouse development, due to a defect in the fusion of precursor cells into syncytial osteoclasts.

    Base editing strategies to convert CAG to CAA diminish the disease-causing mutation in Huntington’s disease

    Doo Eun Choi, Jun Wan Shin ... Jong-Min Lee
    Uninterrupted CAG repeat length determines onset age in Huntington's disease, and therefore, base editing strategies to generate CAA interruption offer new therapeutic opportunities as they diminish the disease-causing mutation.

    Sex-biased regulatory changes in the placenta of native highlanders contribute to adaptive fetal development

    Tian Yue, Yongbo Guo ... Bing Su
    Comparative transcriptome analyses of human placenta reveal regulatory divergence between native highlanders and lowland immigrants living at high altitude, and a sex-biased pattern of genetic adaptation.
