    Drosophila HCN mediates gustatory homeostasis by preserving sensillar transepithelial potential in sweet environments

    MinHyuk Lee, Se Hoon Park ... KyeongJin Kang
    A hyperpolarization-activated cation channel, counteracting membrane depolarization, delimits the excitability of receptor neurons subjected to naturally prolonged stimulation to preserve the function of neighboring receptor neurons in Drosophila gustation.
    1. Neuroscience

    Cerebellar nuclei cells produce distinct pathogenic spike signatures in mouse models of ataxia, dystonia, and tremor

    Meike E van der Heijden, Amanda M Brown ... Roy V Sillitoe
    Ataxia, dystonia, and tremor phenotypes have distinct and generalizable cerebellar interposed nucleus spike signatures in mice, with defining features identified using a classifier model and pathogenicity tested using optogenetic manipulations.

    A genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen identifies calreticulin as a selective repressor of ATF6α

    Joanne Tung, Lei Huang ... Adriana Ordonez
    Calreticulin, beyond its known role as a chaperone, also serves as an endoplasmic reticulum repressor of ATF6⍺, selectively regulating one arm of the unfolded protein response.

    A unique multi-synaptic mechanism involving acetylcholine and GABA regulates dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens through early adolescence in male rats

    Melody C Iacino, Taylor A Stowe ... Mark J Ferris
    A circuit within the nucleus accumbens that exists during a specific developmental window through early adolescence male rats may serve as a substrate that underlies heightened reward seeking in this population.

    Hybrid immunity from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and vaccination in Canadian adults: A cohort study

    Patrick E Brown, Sze Hang Fu ... Ab-C Study Collaborators
    Population-level hybrid immunity depends substantially on vaccination coverage, including among those previously infected, and dried blood spot collection serves as a practicable biological surveillance platform for these immune responses.

    SPAG7 deletion causes intrauterine growth restriction, resulting in adulthood obesity and metabolic dysfunction

    Stephen E Flaherty III, Olivier Bezy ... Zhidan Wu
    Investigation of mouse models from forward mutagenetic screen reveals that the gene Spag7 is essential for embryonic development and energy homeostasis later in life.
    1. Neuroscience

    Cholinergic input to mouse visual cortex signals a movement state and acutely enhances layer 5 responsiveness

    Baba Yogesh, Georg B Keller
    Locomotion triggers a binary state transition in cortical acetylcholine levels that increase top-down and bottom-up responses in layer 5 but not layer 2/3 neurons.
    1. Immunology and Inflammation

    RAG1 and RAG2 non-core regions are implicated in leukemogenesis and off-target V(D)J recombination in BCR-ABL1-driven B-cell lineage lymphoblastic leukemia

    Xiaozhuo Yu, Wen Zhou ... Yanhong Ji
    Non-core RAG regions, especially RAG1, maintain V(D)J recombination accuracy and genomic stability, reducing malignant characteristics and off-target recombination in BCR-ABL1+ B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

    A syngeneic spontaneous zebrafish model of tp53-deficient, EGFRvIII, and PI3KCAH1047R-driven glioblastoma reveals inhibitory roles for inflammation during tumor initiation and relapse in vivo

    Alex Weiss, Cassandra D'Amata ... Madeline N Hayes
    Modeling glioblastoma using expression of relevant human oncogenes in syngeneic zebrafish offers a powerful platform for current and future biological discovery, diagnostics, and therapeutic testing in an intact tumor microenvironment.

    Spatiotemporal changes in Netrin/Dscam1 signaling dictate axonal projection direction in Drosophila small ventral lateral clock neurons

    Jingjing Liu, Yuedong Wang ... Yao Tian
    Dynamic local microenvironments in Drosophila facilitate axonal projection direction transitions in the absence of clear landmarks.
