    Detection of TurboID fusion proteins by fluorescent streptavidin outcompetes antibody signals and visualises targets not accessible to antibodies

    Johanna Odenwald, Bernardo Gabiatti ... Susanne Kramer
    Proteins that are low abundant and/or poorly accessible to antibodies can be readily localised with fluorescent streptavidin, when expressed fused to a biotin ligase.
    1. Neuroscience

    Opposing actions of co-released GABA and neurotensin on the activity of preoptic neurons and on body temperature

    Iustin V Tabarean
    Preoptic neurotensinergic neurons co-release GABA and neurotensin, triggering a rapid initial inhibition followed by a sustained excitation, and mice lacking GABA release from these neurons exhibit altered thermoregulation.

    On the pH-dependence of α-synuclein amyloid polymorphism and the role of secondary nucleation in seed-based amyloid propagation

    Lukas Frey, Dhiman Ghosh ... Jason Greenwald
    The amyloid polymorph selection that occurs during α-synuclein aggregation is dictated by environmental conditions, in particular pH, with the largest variety of structures being observed near neutral pH.

    Insights into metabolic heterogeneity of colorectal cancer gained from fluorescence lifetime imaging

    Anastasia D Komarova, Snezhana D Sinyushkina ... Marina V Shirmanova
    The level of heterogeneity of cellular energy metabolism increases with model complexity and is the highest in patients' tumors, which can be observed and quantified using FLIM of NAD(P)H.

    Feedback inhibition by a descending GABAergic neuron regulates timing of escape behavior in Drosophila larvae

    Jiayi Zhu, Jean-Christophe Boivin ... Tomoko Ohyama
    Connectomic, optogenetic, and high-throughput behavioral analyses identify a descending neuron in the fruit fly larval brain that modifies the timing of nociception-induced rolling.
    1. Neuroscience

    Differential increase of hippocampal subfield volume after socio-affective mental training relates to reductions in diurnal cortisol

    Sofie Louise Valk, Veronika Engert ... Tania Singer
    Socio-emotional behavioral intervention links to changes in the structure and function of hippocampal subfields, in particular CA1-3, and reductions in cortisol levels in healthy adults.

    Structure of the human heparan-α-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase (HGSNAT)

    Vikas Navratna, Arvind Kumar ... Shyamal Mosalaganti
    First high-resolution structure of HGSNAT-acetyl-CoA complex, that describes the architecture of a novel transmembrane N-acetyltransferase fold and provides a molecular basis for MPS IIIC causing mutation induced destabilization of HGSNAT.

    Recent evolutionary origin and localized diversity hotspots of mammalian coronaviruses

    Renan Maestri, Benoît Perez-Lamarque ... Hélène Morlon
    The common ancestor of extant mammalian coronaviruses originated recently in a bat species and their diversification occurred via preferential host switches rather than through codiversification with mammals.

    Botulinum toxin intoxication requires retrograde transport and membrane translocation at the ER in RenVM neurons

    Jeremy C Yeo, Felicia P Tay ... Frederic Bard
    BoNT intoxication of neurons is revisited using a genome-wide siRNA screen and organelle-specific reporters, suggesting a mechanism of translocation to the cytosol fundamentally different than previously proposed.

    Dynamic control of sequential retrieval speed in networks with heterogeneous learning rules

    Maxwell Gillett, Nicolas Brunel
    Low-dimensional external inputs are sufficient to control the speed of sequential activity, and to transition between persistent activity, in a network of neurons with both temporally symmetric and asymmetric learning.
