    Glial-dependent clustering of voltage-gated ion channels in Drosophila precedes myelin formation

    Simone Rey, Henrike Ohm ... Christian Klämbt
    Evolution of saltatory conductance is mirrored in fly development where glia-dependent clustering of voltage-gated ion channels precedes myelination.

    Divergent functions of two clades of flavodoxin in diatoms mitigate oxidative stress and iron limitation

    Shiri Graff van Creveld, Sacha N Coesel ... E Virginia Armbrust
    Diatoms encode two forms of flavodoxin with divergent functions that mitigate the oxidative stress and iron requirements associated with life in contemporary oxygenated iron-poor oceans.

    Haploinsufficiency of the essential gene Rps12 causes defects in erythropoiesis and hematopoietic stem cell maintenance

    Virginia Folgado-Marco, Kristina Ames ... Nicholas E Baker
    The homozygous and heterozygous phenotypes of mouse Rps12 deletion are described, highlighting pancytopenia reflecting roles in hematopoiesis and erythropoiesis.

    Cell-free DNA as a potential biomarker of differentiation and toxicity in cardiac organoids

    Brian Silver, Kevin Gerrish, Erik Tokar
    Cardiac organoids have potential as a tool used for identifying cell-free DNA as biomarkers for toxicity and severity of exposure outcomes.

    The impact of task context on predicting finger movements in a brain-machine interface

    Matthew J Mender, Samuel R Nason-Tomaszewski ... Cynthia A Chestek
    Task changes, like increased force production or altered posture, decrease the accuracy of brain-machine interfaces predicting intended finger movements, however, understanding how neural activity changes with the altered biomechanics of the task may provide insights for generalizable decoder development.

    Decapping factor Dcp2 controls mRNA abundance and translation to adjust metabolism and filamentation to nutrient availability

    Anil Kumar Vijjamarri, Xiao Niu ... Alan G Hinnebusch
    The yeast mRNA decapping enzyme Dcp1/Dcp2 repressses many genes whose products are required on poor carbon or nitrogen sources in nutrient-replete cells by mRNA decapping and degradation or translational repression, adding post-transcriptional controls to the transcriptional repression of these functions.

    Polycomb repressive complex 1.1 coordinates homeostatic and emergency myelopoiesis

    Yaeko Nakajima-Takagi, Motohiko Oshima ... Atsushi Iwama
    Polycomb repressive complex 1.1 restricts precocious myeloid differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and expansion of myeloid progenitors, thereby serving as a gatekeeper of emergency myelopoiesis and myeloid transformation.

    Liver type 1 innate lymphoid cells lacking IL-7 receptor are a native killer cell subset fostered by parenchymal niches

    Takuma Asahi, Shinya Abe ... Koichi Ikuta
    Interleukin 15-producing microenvironments in the fetal and adult liver foster a type 1 innate lymphoid cell lineage with intrinsic cytotoxicity mediated through cytotoxic granules that are expressed under their steady state, unlike conventional natural killer cells with stimulation-dependent cytotoxicity.

    Nova proteins direct synaptic integration of somatostatin interneurons through activity-dependent alternative splicing

    Leena Ali Ibrahim, Brie Wamsley ... Gordon Fishell
    RNA sequencing and conditional Nova mutants reveal that Nova protein function is necessary for activity-dependent alternative splicing of synaptic genes within somatostatin cortical interneurons and regulates its afferent and efferent connectivity.
