    Cribriform plate microenvironment assembles a suppressive myeloid network during EAE-induced neuroinflammation

    Collin Laaker, Martin Hsu ... Zsuzsanna Fabry
    Regulatory immune cells accumulate at the nose-to-brain interface during neuroinflammation, potentially dampening damaging immune responses.

    Canonical and phosphoribosyl ubiquitination coordinate to stabilize a proteinaceous structure surrounding the Legionella-containing vacuole

    Adriana Steinbach, Chetan Mokkapati ... Shaeri Mukherjee
    Two families of ubiquitin ligases secreted by the intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila utilize distinct chemistries to form a stable, ubiquitin-rich structure around the vacuole, which is subsequently disassembled as infection progresses.

    Autosomal allelic inactivation at loci with variable replication timing and dosage sensitivity

    Michael B Heskett, Athanasios E Vouzas ... Mathew J Thayer
    Stable allele-specific epigenetic regulation creates cellular mosaicism of numerous autosomal dosage-sensitive genes involved in human neurological and developmental disorders.

    Dynamic assembly of malate dehydrogenase–citrate synthase multienzyme complex in the mitochondria

    Joy Omini, Inga Krassovskaya ... Toshihiro Obata
    The yeast mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase–citrate synthase metabolon is a dynamic multienzyme complex that continuously assembles and disassembles in response to respiratory activity, mitochondrial matrix pH, and substrate abundances.

    Medial prefrontal cortex encodes but is not required to generate goal-directed actions under threat

    Muhammad S Sajid, Ji Zhou, Manuel A Castro-Alamancos
    Medial prefrontal cortex activity is not required for learning or execution of adaptive avoidance behavior, despite encoding select task features.

    Lenacapavir-induced lattice hyperstabilization is central to HIV-1 capsid failure at the nuclear pore complex and in the cytoplasm

    Arpa Hudait, Ryan C Burdick ... Gregory A Voth
    Lenacapavir disrupts HIV-1 capsid elasticity, inducing mechanical rupture at the nuclear pore, highlighting that altering viral material properties can be a viable antiviral drug design strategy.

    TGF-β drives the conversion of conventional NK cells into uterine tissue-resident NK cells to support murine pregnancy

    Josselyn D Barahona, Liping Yang ... Wayne M Yokoyama
    Uterine natural killer (NK) cells require TGF-β to be derived from conventional NK cells and contribute to successful pregnancy.

    Depletion of extracellular asparagine impairs self-reactive T cells and ameliorates autoimmunity in a murine model of multiple sclerosis

    Peter Georgiev, Sheila Johnson ... Arlene H Sharpe
    A comprehensive investigation of extracellular asparagine utilization highlights its role as a critical regulator of murine CD4+ T cell activation, differentiation, and function.

    Impacts of DNA methylation on H2A.Z deposition and nucleosome stability

    Rochelle M Shih, Yasuhiro Arimura ... Hironori Funabiki
    DNA methylation suppresses H2A.Z deposition by inhibiting recruitment of the chaperone SRCAP, while the structural study suggests that methylated DNA can make the H2A.Z nucleosome slightly more accessible.

    Pervasive relaxed selection on spermatogenesis genes coincident with the evolution of polygyny in gorillas

    Jacob D Bowman, Neide Silva ... Vincent J Lynch
    Genes associated with male reproductive biology appear to be under relaxed selective constraint in a primate species with low sperm competition.
