    Neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies that target the PcrV component of the type III secretion system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa act through distinct mechanisms

    Jean-Mathieu Desveaux, Eric Faudry ... Pascal Poignard
    Human antibodies isolated from cystic fibrosis patients against PscF and PcrV of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Type 3 Secretion System reveal that anti-PcrV antibodies inhibit secretion through distinct mechanisms.

    Deep neural networks to register and annotate cells in moving and deforming nervous systems

    Adam A Atanas, Alicia Kun-Yang Lu ... Steven W Flavell
    New machine vision tools are used to align densely packed cells recorded from live, deforming tissues and automatically annotate the identities of the recorded cell types.

    Single molecule counting detects low-copy glycine receptors in hippocampal and striatal synapses

    Serena Camuso, Yana Vella ... Christian G Specht
    Synapses in the forebrain were thought of as purely GABAergic, yet they contain minute numbers of glycine receptors, often in the single digits.

    Frictional instabilities as an alternative to friction coefficient in fine touch perception

    Maryanne Derkaloustian, Pushpita Bhattacharyya ... Charles B Dhong
    To study fine touch, selecting samples based on how many mechanical instabilities they can form is more predictive than using the friction coefficient, which has been the default choice.

    SETDB1 enables development beyond cleavage stages by extinguishing the MERVL-driven two-cell totipotency transcriptional program in the mouse embryo

    Tie-Bo Zeng, Zhen Fu ... Piroska E Szabó
    Conditional genetics and single-embryo RNA-seq show that SETDB1 extinguishes the transient, retroelement-driven transcriptional programs of the totipotent two-cell state to facilitate the exit from totipotency and ensure preimplantation development.

    Ribosomal RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase I is subject to premature termination of transcription

    Chaïma Azouzi, Katrin Schwank ... Christophe Dez
    Premature termination of transcription influences ribosomal RNA output and RNA polymerase I drug sensitivity, revealing a mechanism of resistance to transcription-targeting chemotherapy.

    BICC1 interacts with PKD1 and PKD2 to drive cystogenesis in ADPKD

    Uyen Tran, Andrew J Streets ... Oliver Wessely
    The RNA-binding protein BICC1 can act as a genetic disease modifier for kidney cyst formation, potentially explaining the high variability of disease onset and severity in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease patients.

    Heterogeneous associations of polygenic indices of 35 traits with mortality: a register-linked population-based follow-up study

    Hannu Lahtinen, Jaakko Kaprio ... Pekka Martikainen
    Polygenic indices related to the best-established social, psychological, and behavioural mortality risk phenotypes had the strongest associations with mortality.
