    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.

    A novel SUN1-ALLAN complex coordinates segregation of the bipartite MTOC across the nuclear envelope during rapid closed mitosis in Plasmodium berghei

    Mohammad Zeeshan, Igor Blatov ... Rita Tewari
    The SUN1-ALLAN complex serves as a nuclear envelope–spanning tether that coordinates the segregation of a bipartite microtubule organising center (MTOC) during the unusual mitosis of Plasmodium.

    A memory model of rodent spatial navigation in which place cells are memories arranged in a grid and grid cells are non-spatial

    David E Huber
    It is proposed that place cells are arranged in a hexagonal grid for large surfaces devoid of landmarks, which produces grid cell receptive fields as an artifact of memory retrieval.
