    Id2 GABAergic interneurons comprise a neglected fourth major group of cortical inhibitory cells

    Robert Machold, Shlomo Dellal ... Bernardo Rudy
    Id2 GABAergic interneurons represent a fourth major group of local inhibitory neurons that includes neurogliaform cells, and these neurons can be targeted using intersectional genetics, revealing their distinctive connectivity and in vivo activity properties.

    Proteostasis is differentially modulated by inhibition of translation initiation or elongation

    Khalyd J Clay, Yongzhi Yang ... Michael Petrascheck
    Carefully controlling the level of protein synthesis reduction and mode of translation inhibitor action reveal different and sometimes opposing phenotypic effects following proteostasis stress, wherein protection via initiation inhibition specifically depends on heat shock factor 1.

    Identification of CD133+ intercellsomes in intercellular communication to offset intracellular signal deficit

    Kota Kaneko, Yan Liang ... Gen-Sheng Feng
    A new type of mRNAs-loaded CD133+ vesicles, named intercellsome, mediate cell-cell communications to compensate intracellular proliferative signal deficit, representing a previously unrecognized mechanism of cell proliferation under stress.

    Microhomology-mediated circular DNA formation from oligonucleosomal fragments during spermatogenesis

    Jun Hu, Zhe Zhang ... Chao Liu
    Germline extrachromosomal circular DNAs are mainly formed by microhomology-mediated ligation of nucleosome-protected fragments and barely contribute to de novo genomic deletions at meiotic recombination hotspots.

    DMRT1 is a testis-determining gene in rabbits and is also essential for female fertility

    Emilie Dujardin, Marjolaine André ... Maëlle Pannetier
    The absence of DMRT1 induces a male-to-female sex reversal in XY rabbits and complete infertility in both sexes.

    Inhibition of microtubule detyrosination by parthenolide facilitates functional CNS axon regeneration

    Marco Leibinger, Charlotte Zeitler ... Dietmar Fischer
    Systemic treatment with di-methyl-amino-parthenolide facilitates CNS axon regeneration and functional recovery by reducing the induction of microtubule detyrosination by established regenerative therapies.

    An unconventional gatekeeper mutation sensitizes inositol hexakisphosphate kinases to an allosteric inhibitor

    Tim Aguirre, Gillian L Dornan ... Dorothea Fiedler
    A subtle mutation in the ATP-binding site of inositol hexakisphosphate kinases increases their conformational flexibility and thereby makes them susceptible to isozyme-selective, allosteric inhibition.
