    Gene regulatory dynamics during craniofacial development in a carnivorous marsupial

    Laura E Cook, Charles Y Feigin ... Irene Gallego Romero
    While the genes involved in craniofacial development are highly conserved between the fat-tailed dunnart and mouse, their cis-regulatory elements show significant divergence and appear to reflect species-specific developmental processes.

    Changes in neural progenitor lineage composition during astrocytic differentiation of human iPSCs

    Zongze Li, Lucia Fernandez Cardo ... Meng Li
    A genetic tracing study demonstrates that neural progenitor lineage dominance may not be maintained in differentiated progeny, underscoring the critical need for region-specific markers to validate pluripotent stem cell–derived products.

    Deep3DSIM: Super-resolution imaging of thick tissue using 3D structured illumination with adaptive optics

    Jingyu Wang, Danail Stoychev ... Ilan Davis
    Deep3DSIM enables super-resolution imaging >130 µm into complex tissues of fixed and live specimens in an upright configuration, allowing sample manipulation, as well as rapid refocusing without the need to move the specimen or objective lens.

    Measuring changes in Plasmodium falciparum census population size in response to sequential malaria control interventions

    Kathryn E Tiedje, Qi Zhan ... Karen P Day
    Despite major perturbations from sequential interventions, the Plasmodium falciparum population remained very large and retained the var population genetic characteristics of a high-transmission system.

    Neuronal migration depends on blood flow in the adult mammalian brain

    Takashi Ogino, Akari Saito ... Kazunobu Sawamoto
    Blood flow enhances neuronal migration in the adult brain via ghrelin signaling.

    Nocebo effects are stronger and more persistent than placebo effects in healthy individuals

    Angelika Kunkel, Katharina Schmidt ... Ulrike Bingel
    In healthy volunteers, negative expectations exert stronger and longer-lasting effects on pain than positive expectations, consistent with a better-safe-than-sorry account of placebo and nocebo effects.

    The Rab7-Epg5 and Rab39-ema modules cooperatively position autophagosomes for efficient lysosomal fusions

    Attila Boda, Villő Balázs ... Péter Lőrincz
    An RNAi based genetic screen and subsequent analyses reveal how dyneins and small GTPases coordinate autophagosome positioning at the ncMTOC in fat cells, advancing understanding of autophagic vesicle transport.

    Newly trained navigation and verbal memory skills in humans elicit changes in task-related networks but not brain structure

    Li Zheng, Zachary Boogaart ... Steven M Weisberg
    Learning new navigation or memory skills engages flexible brain network dynamics without altering gray matter, white matter, or hippocampal structure.

    Cell membrane glycan contents are biochemical factors that constitute a kinetic barrier to viral particle uptake in a protein-nonspecific manner

    Yoshihisa Kaizuka, Rika Machida
    Intermolecular steric repulsion generated by glycans on the cell membrane inhibits viral infection by preventing the formation of a virus-cell interface, regardless of the identity of molecules for glycan modification.

    Pleomorphic effects of three small-molecule inhibitors on transcription elongation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNA polymerase

    Omar Herrera-Asmat, Alexander B Tong ... Carlos Bustamante
    Optical tweezers are used to gain mechanistic insight in the mechanism of inhibition of three distinct compounds being developed as antibiotics against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
