    Interplay between PML NBs and HIRA for H3.3 dynamics following type I interferon stimulus

    Constance Kleijwegt, Florent Bressac ... Armelle Corpet
    Dual function of promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML NBs) acting as buffering centers modulating the nuclear distribution of HIRA, and as chromosomal hubs regulating interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) transcription, and thus HIRA-mediated H3.3 deposition/recycling at ISGs upon inflammatory response.

    Disease-modifying effects of sodium selenate in a model of drug-resistant, temporal lobe epilepsy

    Pablo M Casillas-Espinosa, Alison Anderson ... Terence J O'Brien
    Sodium selenate is the first treatment with persistent disease-modifying effects reducing seizures and improving cognitive deficits, in chronically epileptic and drug-resistant TLE animals.

    Mitochondrial protein import clogging as a mechanism of disease

    Liam P Coyne, Xiaowen Wang ... Xin Jie Chen
    Missense mutations in the nuclear-encoded adenine nucleotide translocase 1 (Ant1) cause the protein to clog the mitochondrial protein import pathway, to severely inhibit cell growth in yeast, and to cause neurodegeneration and myopathy in mice that phenocopy ANT1-induced human disease.

    Hippo signaling impairs alveolar epithelial regeneration in pulmonary fibrosis

    Rachel Warren, Handeng Lyu ... Stijn P De Langhe
    Alveolar type 2 stem cells are actively maintained by Hippo signaling and Taz promotes alveolar epithelial regeneration and the resolution of bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis upon inactivation of the Hippo pathway in Alveolar type 2 stem cells.

    The impact of local genomic properties on the evolutionary fate of genes

    Yuichiro Hara, Shigehiro Kuraku
    The genomic features associated with a gene fate to loss have been retained for approximately 500 million years during evolution, and the genes with these features exhibit restricted expression profiles, leading to the genes being less important.

    Dynamics of pulsatile activities of arcuate kisspeptin neurons in aging female mice

    Teppei Goto, Mitsue Hagihara, Kazunari Miyamichi
    The pulsatile activities of kisspeptin neurons, the central pacemaker activities of reproductive functions, show unexpected robustness in terms of frequency, but a tendency for the intensity to decline, during the transition to reproductive senescence in mice.

    Modulation of sleep by trafficking of lipids through the Drosophila blood-brain barrier

    Fu Li, Gregory Artiushin, Amita Sehgal
    Metabolites, such as acylcarnitines, accumulate in Drosophila heads when endocytosis is blocked and reflects an increased need for sleep.

    Comparable in vivo joint kinematics between self-reported stable and unstable knees after TKA can be explained by muscular adaptation strategies: A retrospective observational study

    Longfeng Rao, Nils Horn ... Pascal Schütz
    Muscle synergies are able to identify muscular adaptation that results from feelings of joint instability, whereas tibiofemoral kinematics are sensitive for detecting acute instability events during functional activities.

    Temporal integration is a robust feature of perceptual decisions

    Alexandre Hyafil, Jaime de la Rocha ... Jonathan W Pillow
    Responses of monkeys, rats, and humans performing perceptual discrimination of discrete-sample stimuli rely on accumulation over time of sensory evidence.

    Gene and protein expression and metabolic flux analysis reveals metabolic scaling in liver ex vivo and in vivo

    Ngozi D Akingbesote, Brooks P Leitner ... Rachel J Perry
    Transcriptomic, enzyme activity, and flux data demonstrate that metabolic scaling, the inverse correlation between body size and metabolic rate per gram of tissue, is a conserved phenomenon that occurs at multiple physiological levels and in multiple tissues.
