    Spatial periodicity in grid cell firing is explained by a neural sequence code of 2-D trajectories

    Rebecca RG, Giorgio A Ascoli ... Holger Dannenberg
    The characteristic hexagonal firing pattern of grid cells emerges as the most parsimonious solution to a trajectory code by cell sequences.

    Modeling hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids using microglia-sufficient brain organoids

    Wei Jie Wong, Yi Wen Zhu ... Florent Ginhoux
    Co-culture between donor-derived iPSC-induced macrophages and forebrain organoids revealed microglial impairment leading to the degenerative neuro-environment in HDLS.

    Glutamine catabolism supports amino acid biosynthesis and suppresses the integrated stress response to promote photoreceptor survival

    Moloy T Goswami, Eric Weh ... Thomas J Wubben
    For the first time, mouse models reveal the metabolic dependency of photoreceptors on glutamine catabolism in vivo and further demonstrate the flexibility of photoreceptors to utilize fuel sources beyond glucose.

    ME3BP-7 is a targeted cytotoxic agent that rapidly kills pancreatic cancer cells expressing high levels of monocarboxylate transporter MCT1

    Jordina Rincon-Torroella, Marco Dal Molin ... Surojit Sur
    Monocarboxylate transporter 1 overexpressed pancreatic cancers can be therapeutically targeted with ME3BP-7, a promising new agent with unique mode of action.

    Perturbation-response analysis of in silico metabolic dynamics revealed hard-coded responsiveness in the cofactors and network sparsity

    Yusuke Himeoka, Chikara Furusawa
    A computational study reveals that the kinetic models of Escherichia coli metabolism show strong responsiveness to perturbations and that it originates from cofactor dynamics and network sparsity.

    Unraveling the role of Ctla-4 in intestinal immune homeostasis through a novel Zebrafish model of inflammatory bowel disease

    Lulu Qin, Chongbin Hu ... Jianzhong Shao
    The generation of a Ctla-4-deficient zebrafish line has established a direct link between Ctla-4 and IBD in zebrafish.

    Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor influences periarticular joint inflammation in Borrelia burgdorferi-infected mice

    Qian Yu, Xiaotian Tang ... Erol Fikrig
    Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor suppresses Borrelia burgdorferi infection-induced periarticular inflammation in mice by maintaining anti-protease–protease balance.

    Flower/FLWR-1 regulates neuronal activity via the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase to promote recycling of synaptic vesicles

    Marius Seidenthal, Jasmina Redzovic ... Alexander Gottschalk
    Caenorhabditis elegans FLWR-1/Flower is required for efficient synaptic vesicle recycling and does so through a functional and possibly direct physical interaction with the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase, MCA-3.

    mTOR inhibition in Q175 Huntington’s disease model mice facilitates neuronal autophagy and mutant huntingtin clearance

    Philip Stavrides, Chris N Goulbourne ... Dun-Sheng Yang
    ALP alterations in Q175 brains are late-onset, mild, existing at the later phases of the pathway, and stimulating autophagy at early disease progression enhances mHTT clearance to ameliorate HD pathology.

    MagIC-Cryo-EM, structural determination on magnetic beads for scarce macromolecules in heterogeneous samples

    Yasuhiro Arimura, Hide A Konishi, Hironori Funabiki
    A technique that enables single-particle cryo-EM analysis of targets on a magnetic bead and a particle curation method that helps structural classification of small particles has been developed.
