    Transcriptomic profiling of tissue environments critical for post-embryonic patterning and morphogenesis of zebrafish skin

    Andrew J Aman, Lauren M Saunders ... David M Parichy
    Single-cell transcriptomics enables functional dissection of signaling interactions that drive morphogenesis of complex organ systems.

    SPOP targets the immune transcription factor IRF1 for proteasomal degradation

    Irene Schwartz, Milica Vunjak ... Gijs A Versteeg
    SPOP-dependent degradation of interferon regulatory factor 1 curtails cell-intrinsic innate immunity, thereby contributing to immune resolution.

    Retinal input integration in excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the mouse superior colliculus in vivo

    Carolin Gehr, Jeremie Sibille, Jens Kremkow
    Excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the mouse superior colliculus receive comparably strong inputs from retinal ganglion cells, in contrast to the thalamocortical system.

    EPAC1 inhibition protects the heart from doxorubicin-induced toxicity

    Marianne Mazevet, Anissa Belhadef ... Eric Morel
    The inhibition of EPAC1, a cAMP-binding protein, appears as a potential therapeutic strategy to limit doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity without interfering with its antitumoral activity.

    Molecular basis of interactions between CaMKII and α-actinin-2 that underlie dendritic spine enlargement

    Ashton J Curtis, Jian Zhu ... Matthew G Gold
    CaMKII and the actin-crosslinking protein α-actinin-2 associate within minutes of the induction of long-term potentiation and disrupting this interaction prevents formation of enlarged dendritic spines.

    Influenza virus transcription and progeny production are poorly correlated in single cells

    David J Bacsik, Bernadeta Dadonaite ... Jesse D Bloom
    Quantification of both viral transcription and progeny production from single influenza-infected cells shows that the cells that produce the most viral RNA often do not produce the most virions.

    Coordination between ECM and cell-cell adhesion regulates the development of islet aggregation, architecture, and functional maturation

    Wilma Tixi, Maricela Maldonado ... Hung Ping Shih
    ECM-Itgb1 signaling and cell-cell adhesion are pivotal and coordinate together to regulate pancreatic islet aggregation, architecture, and functional maturation during development.

    Loss of Ptpmt1 limits mitochondrial utilization of carbohydrates and leads to muscle atrophy and heart failure in tissue-specific knockout mice

    Hong Zheng, Qianjin Li ... Cheng-Kui Qu
    The balanced utilization of energy sources, namely carbohydrates and fats, by mitochondria, is critically important for the long-term maintenance of both skeletal muscle and heart health.

    The ATM-E6AP-MASTL axis mediates DNA damage checkpoint recovery

    Yanqiu Li, Feifei Wang ... Aimin Peng
    The initiation of DNA damage checkpoint recovery involves ATM-mediated E3 ubiquitin ligase E6AP phosphorylation which disrupts E6AP-MASTL association and leads to MASTL protein accumulation and cell cycle resumption.

    Evidence for adolescent length growth spurts in bonobos and other primates highlights the importance of scaling laws

    Andreas Berghaenel, Jeroen MG Stevens ... Verena Behringer
    Scaling laws reveal the presence of adolescent growth spurts in bonobos and potentially in other non-human primates, challenging the notion of these spurts as a uniquely human trait and emphasizing the need to consider scaling laws when interpreting growth patterns.
