    Distinct functions of cardiac β-adrenergic receptors in the T-tubule vs. outer surface membrane

    George WP Madders, Marion Barthé ... Rodolphe Fischmeister
    A size exclusion strategy using PEGylation of isoprenaline allowed to demonstrate that cardiac β-adrenergic receptors located in the outer surface membrane control mainly cAMP/PKA in the cytosol while those located in the T-tubule membrane control cAMP/PKA in the nucleus.

    Migrating mesoderm cells self-organize into a dynamic meshwork structure during chick gastrulation

    Yukiko Nakaya, Mitsusuke Tarama ... Tatsuo Shibata
    A novel form of collective mesenchymal cell migration is identified during chick gastrulation, where a dynamic 3D meshwork supported by N-cadherin-mediated adhesion coordinates movement and enhances directional migration in the unconfined space between ectoderm and endoderm.

    Septins function in exocytosis via physical interactions with the exocyst complex in fission yeast cytokinesis

    Davinder Singh, Yajun Liu ... Jian-Qiu Wu
    Protein–protein interactions and localization dependencies between septin cytoskeleton and the exocyst complex using the fission yeast model system reveal one of the most conserved functions of septins in exocytosis.

    Companion cells with high florigen production express other small proteins and reveal a nitrogen-sensitive FT repressor

    Hiroshi Takagi, Shogo Ito ... Takato Imaizumi
    A distinct subset of leaf companion cells expresses high levels of the florigen gene, and the same cells also produce other possible mobile floral regulators and small proteins.

    Dissociation of the nuclear basket triggers chromosome loss in aging yeast

    Mihailo Mirkovic, Jordan McCarthy ... Yves Barral
    Aging results in remodeling of the nuclear pore complex and leakage of intron-containing pre-mRNA out of the nucleus, altering gene function and mitotic stability of old cells.

    Non-equilibrium strategies enabling ligand specificity by signaling receptors

    Andrew Goetz, Jeremy Barrios ... Purushottam D Dixit
    Non-equilibrium thermodynamics allows signaling networks to signal downstream of certain ligands but avoid signaling from others.

    Axonal injury signaling is restrained by a spared synaptic branch

    Laura J Smithson, Juliana L Zang ... Catherine A Collins
    Transcriptional responses to axonal damage are required for circuit repair, but these responses are restrained in injuries that leave spared axonal branches.

    Dual-format attentional template during preparation in human visual cortex

    Yilin Chen, Taosheng Liu ... Mengyuan Gong
    Preparatory attentional templates exist in two formats with distinct functional states, a default non-sensory format and a latent sensory-like format.

    Detecting, mapping, and suppressing the spread of a decade-long Pseudomonas aeruginosa nosocomial outbreak with genomics

    William Stribling, Lindsey R Hall ... Francois Lebreton
    Routine genomic surveillance uncovered a decades-long multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa outbreak sustained by patient reservoirs and hospital plumbing, enabling targeted infection control measures that ultimately curtailed transmission.

    Homophilic wiring principles underpin neuronal network topology in vitro

    Danyal Akarca, Alexander WE Dunn ... Manuel Schröter
    Functional connectivity in rodent and human neuronal cultures is best explained by homophilic wiring rules, in which neurons preferentially form connections depending on spatial proximity and shared connectivity patterns, suggesting a unifying principle across scales.
