    Molecular mechanisms of microbiome modulation by the eukaryotic secondary metabolite azelaic acid

    Ahmed A Shibl, Michael A Ochsenkühn ... Shady A Amin
    Characterization of the molecular mechanisms that enable azelaic acid, a secondary metabolite produced by photosynthetic organisms, to promote or inhibit different bacterial populations.

    Death by a thousand cuts through kinase inhibitor combinations that maximize selectivity and enable rational multitargeting

    Ian R Outhwaite, Sukrit Singh ... Markus A Seeliger
    Combinations of inhibitors can more selectively inhibit individual or multiple protein kinases than single inhibitors.

    Inhibitory CCK+ basket synapse defects in mouse models of dystroglycanopathy

    Jennifer N Jahncke, Daniel S Miller ... Kevin M Wright
    Loss of functional dystroglycan disrupts the formation and function of CCK+/CB1R+ inhibitory synapses in hippocampal CA1, resulting in reduced seizure thresholds in mouse models of dystroglycanopathy.

    Interface-acting nucleotide controls polymerization dynamics at microtubule plus- and minus-ends

    Lauren A McCormick, Joseph M Cleary ... Luke M Rice
    Comparative measurements and simulations of microtubule plus and minus end growth with mixed nucleotides demonstrate that nucleotide acts across a tubulin:tubulin interface to influence microtubule stability and dynamics.

    Acute stress reduces effortful prosocial behaviour

    Paul AG Forbes, Gökhan Aydogan ... Claus Lamm
    Participants under acute stress were less willing to exert a relatively low level of physical effort for actions that benefit another person compared to actions that benefit themselves.

    A maximum of two readily releasable vesicles per docking site at a cerebellar single active zone synapse

    Melissa Silva, Van Tran, Alain Marty
    Counting the number of synaptic vesicles released in simple synapses under high release probability conditions revealed a maximum readily releasable pool size of two vesicles per docking site.

    Structural and mechanistic insights into ribosomal ITS2 RNA processing by nuclease-kinase machinery

    Jiyun Chen, Hong Chen ... Liang Liu
    The structures of full-length Las1-Grc3 complexes provide crucial insights into the activation mechanism of HEPN nuclease and the pathway of pre-rRNA processing in ribosome biosynthesis.

    Regulation of multiple signaling pathways promotes the consistent expansion of human pancreatic progenitors in defined conditions

    Luka Jarc, Manuj Bandral ... Anthony Gavalas
    The signaling requirements to decouple proliferation of pancreatic progenitors from differentiation were elucidated and employed for the reproducible expansion, under GMP-compliant conditions, of pancreatic progenitors derived from different human pluripotent stem cell lines.

    Homeodomain proteins hierarchically specify neuronal diversity and synaptic connectivity

    Chundi Xu, Tyler B Ramos ... Chris Q Doe
    The homeodomain protein Bsh increases lamina neuron types and visual function.
