    Insights from aquaporin structures into drug-resistant sleeping sickness

    Modestas Matusevicius, Robin A Corey ... Simone Weyand
    Cryo-EM structures of human aquaporin AQP2 bound to the anti-trypanosomal drugs pentamidine and melarsoprol identify the molecular mechanism for drug-resistant sleeping sickness.

    Establishing synthetic ribbon-type active zones in a heterologous expression system

    Rohan Kapoor, Thanh Thao Do ... Tobias Moser
    Synthetic ribbon-type active zones are reconstituted in cultured cells using a minimal set of proteins that partially mimic structural and functional features of cochlear inner hair cell active zones.

    Brain-derived estrogens facilitate male-typical behaviors by potentiating androgen receptor signaling in medaka

    Yuji Nishiike, Shizuku Maki ... Kataaki Okubo
    Estrogens produced in the teleost brain increase neural sensitivity to testicular androgens by directly stimulating androgen receptor transcription, thereby eliciting male-typical behaviors.

    Between-species variation in neocortical sulcal anatomy of the carnivoran brain

    Magdalena Boch, Katrin Karadachka ... Rogier B Mars
    A large-scale investigation of carnivoran brain diversity, providing a unified description of folding patterns, their relationship to behaviour and ecology, and the foundation for future investigations of carnivoran neuroecology.

    Hypothalamic deiodinase type-3 establishes the period of circannual interval timing in mammals

    Calum Stewart, T Adam Liddle ... Tyler J Stevenson
    Transcriptomic and genomic mutations reveal the mechanistic basis of timing seasonal life history transitions.

    ATP burst is the dominant driver of antibiotic lethality in Mycobacterium smegmatis

    Tejan Lodhiya, Aseem Palande ... Raju Mukherjee
    Multiomics and biochemical studies reveal that excess ATP levels, and not ROS, is the dominant driver for antibiotic cidality in Mycobacterium smegmatis.

    Predicting the effect of CRISPR-Cas9-based epigenome editing

    Sanjit Singh Batra, Alan Cabrera ... Yun S Song
    Machine learning models reveal that histone marks are predictive of gene expression across human cell types and highlight important nuances between natural control and the effects of CRISPR-Cas9-based epigenome editing.

    Chemotherapy resistance due to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition is caused by abnormal lipid metabolic balance

    Atsushi Matsumoto, Akihito Inoko ... Junichi Ikenouchi
    Lipid imbalance triggered by Snail-driven epithelial–mesenchymal transition creates a cholesterol-dependent vulnerability that can be therapeutically targeted to overcome chemoresistance in cancer.

    Dilated cardiomyopathy-associated RNA-binding motif protein 20 regulates long pre-mRNAs in neurons

    Giulia Di Bartolomei, Raúl Ortiz ... Peter Scheiffele
    An alternative splicing regulator previously implicated in calcium signaling in the heart ensures cell-type-specific mRNA processing of long neuronal mRNAs in the mouse brain.
