    Loss of tumor suppressor TMEM127 drives RET-mediated transformation through disrupted membrane dynamics

    Timothy J Walker, Eduardo Reyes-Alvarez ... Lois M Mulligan
    TMEM127 depletion alters membrane dynamics, promoting cell surface accumulation and constitutive activity of growth factor receptors, and ultimately providing a novel paradigm for oncogenesis through aberrant receptor localization and signaling.

    Aberrant cortical activity, functional connectivity, and neural assembly architecture after photothrombotic stroke in mice

    Mischa Vance Bandet, Ian Robert Winship
    Longitudinal calcium imaging in awake mice after stroke suggests impairments in neuronal activity, functional connectivity, and neural assembly architecture is transient and limited to cortex immediately adjacent to the stroke.

    Quorum-sensing agr system of Staphylococcus aureus primes gene expression for protection from lethal oxidative stress

    Magdalena Podkowik, Andrew I Perault ... Bo Shopsin
    A new framework for examining tolerance in the context of quorum-sensing that may ultimately help predict and manage bacterial tolerance and, therefore, improve clinical outcome during infection.

    Associations of combined phenotypic aging and genetic risk with incident cancer: A prospective cohort study

    Lijun Bian, Zhimin Ma ... Guangfu Jin
    Older PhenoAge was consistently related to an increased risk of incident cancer with adjustment for chronological age and the aging process could be retarded by adherence to a healthy lifestyle.

    Germline cis variant determines epigenetic regulation of the anti-cancer drug metabolism gene dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD)

    Ting Zhang, Alisa Ambrodji ... Steven M Offer
    A genetic variant within a newly identified enhancer regulates the expression of a key pharmacogene and alters the balance between resistance and sensitivity to a widely used chemotherapeutic.
    1. Neuroscience

    Similar excitability through different sodium channels and implications for the analgesic efficacy of selective drugs

    Yu-Feng Xie, Jane Yang ... Steven A Prescott
    Because nociceptors can achieve similar excitability using different sodium channel subtypes, it is difficult to know which channels are being used yet this information is critical for predicting if subtype-selective drugs will reduce pain.

    Synthetic analysis of trophic diversity and evolution in Enantiornithes with new insights from Bohaiornithidae

    Case Vincent Miller, Jen A Bright ... Michael Pittman
    Enantiornithine birds reached similar dietary diversity to modern birds in a similar amount of time many millions of years earlier, but how exactly they did that requires further research.

    Development of equation of motion deciphering locomotion including omega turns of Caenorhabditis elegans

    Taegon Chung, Iksoo Chang, Sangyeol Kim
    ElegansBot, a two-dimensional rigid body chain model, simulates various locomotion of C. elegans, including omega and delta turns, using Newtonian equations of motion.
    1. Neuroscience

    A new ‘CFS tracking’ paradigm reveals uniform suppression depth regardless of target complexity or salience

    David Alais, Jacob Coorey ... Matthew J Davidson
    A new and efficient continuous flash suppression (CFS) method is presented that provides breakthrough and suppression thresholds to quantify depth of target suppression.

    Ribosome subunit attrition and activation of the p53–MDM4 axis dominate the response of MLL-rearranged cancer cells to WDR5 WIN site inhibition

    Gregory Caleb Howard, Jing Wang ... William P Tansey
    Analysis of the action of WDR5 inhibitors in leukemia cells reveals decreased ribosome inventory, impaired protein synthesis, induction of nucleolar stress, and activation of p53 via alternative splicing of MDM4.
