    Spatiotemporal tissue maturation of thalamocortical pathways in the human fetal brain

    Siân Wilson, Maximilian Pietsch ... Tomoki Arichi
    Using fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), maturational changes in tissue microstructure can be derived using diffusion MRI which provide new insight into the fundamental neurobiological transitions occurring within the emerging thalamocortical white matter pathways.

    Characterisation of an Escherichia coli line that completely lacks ribonucleotide reduction yields insights into the evolution of parasitism and endosymbiosis

    Samantha DM Arras, Nellie Sibaeva ... Anthony M Poole
    An Escherichia coli line lacking deoxyribonucleotide synthesis has been created and subjected to experimental evolution, revealing that endosymbionts and pathogens that lack ribonucleotide reduction avoid loss of deoxyribonucleotides to central metabolism by disruption of the salvage pathway.

    Reserpine maintains photoreceptor survival in retinal ciliopathy by resolving proteostasis imbalance and ciliogenesis defects

    Holly Y Chen, Manju Swaroop ... Anand Swaroop
    High-throughput screening of over 6000 drugs using cells and retina tissue with a CEP290 ciliopathy mutation identified a small molecule, reserpine, which enhanced photoreceptor survival in retinal organoids and in a mouse disease model by partially restoring balance in proteostasis.

    Functional cell types in the mouse superior colliculus

    Ya-tang Li, Markus Meister
    Neurons in the mouse superior colliculus comprise about 20 types based on their responses to visual stimuli, and neurons of the same type tend to cluster together.

    Fecal transplant from myostatin deletion pigs positively impacts the gut-muscle axis

    Zhao-Bo Luo, Shengzhong Han ... Jin-Dan Kang
    Gut microbiota reshaped by myostatin gene variation has a positive effect on skeletal muscle growth by activating GPR43 through valeric acid, as a metabolite of gut microbiota.

    The evolution and structure of snake venom phosphodiesterase (svPDE) highlight its importance in venom actions

    Cheng-Tsung Pan, Chien-Chu Lin ... Wen-Guey Wu
    Snake venom phosphodiesterase (svPDE), one of the critical venom components, is co-opted from the ancestral ENPP3 gene that makes membrane-anchored ENPP3 into secretory svPDE by using an alternative 5' exon.

    TMS-evoked responses are driven by recurrent large-scale network dynamics

    Davide Momi, Zheng Wang, John D Griffiths
    Whole-brain computational modelling, incorporating novel ML-based parameter estimation techniques, reveals how transcranial magnetic stimulation-evoked brain responses are driven at earlier timepoints by local echoes of the external stimulus, and at later timepoints by large-scale network reverberation across the connectome.

    TIR-1/SARM1 inhibits axon regeneration and promotes axon degeneration

    Victoria L Czech, Lauren C O'Connor ... Alexandra B Byrne
    TIR-1 regulates both repair and destruction on either side of an injury axon.

    Pleiotropic effects of BAFF on the senescence-associated secretome and growth arrest

    Martina Rossi, Carlos Anerillas ... Myriam Gorospe
    The levels of the cytokine BAFF increase across senescence paradigms, in turn triggering a secretory phenotype in some senescent cells and activating p53 in other senescent cells.
