    Optimised genome editing for precise DNA insertion and substitution using prime editors in zebrafish

    Yosuke Ono, Martin Peterka ... Steffen Scholpp
    Nickase and nuclease Prime Editors offer complementary routes for precise zebrafish genome editing, balancing accuracy for substitutions with efficiency for short insertions.

    Development of auditory and spontaneous movement responses to music over the first postnatal year

    Trinh Nguyen, Félix Bigand ... Giacomo Novembre
    Although auditory encoding of music is robust early in infancy, the transformation of this input into movement patterns develops substantially over the first postnatal year, without reaching full maturity.

    Ligand-dependent enhancer activation indirectly modulates non-target promoters in a chromatin domain

    Darshika Bohra, Zubairul Islam ... Dimple Notani
    Ligand-driven enhancer activation selectively boosts target gene expression while indirectly repressing neighboring non-target genes, revealing dynamic and competitive regulation during early transcriptional responses.
    1. Neuroscience

    Multiple event segmentation mechanisms in the human brain

    Tan T Nguyen, Joset A Etzel ... Jeffrey M Zacks
    The brain uses separate prediction error and prediction uncertainty signals to trigger event boundaries.

    Profiling of terminating ribosomes reveals translational control at stop codons

    Longfei Jia, Yuanhui Mao ... Shu-Bing Qian
    Systematic characterization of terminating ribosomes uncovers sequence features influencing ribosome dynamics at stop codons with direct implications in 3' UTR translation.

    Arrayed single-gene perturbations identify drivers of human anterior neural tube closure

    Roya E Huang, Giridhar M Anand ... Sharad Ramanathan
    A method for arrayed CRISPRi screening in organoids enables the investigation of morphogenesis in human stem cell-derived tissues, revealing the roles of ZIC2, SOX11, and ZNF521 in neural tube closure.

    Impacts of DNA methylation on H2A.Z deposition and nucleosome stability

    Rochelle M Shih, Yasuhiro Arimura ... Hironori Funabiki
    DNA methylation suppresses H2A.Z deposition by inhibiting recruitment of the chaperone SRCAP, while the structural study suggests that methylated DNA can make the H2A.Z nucleosome slightly more accessible.

    Lipid packing contributes to the confinement of caveolae to the plasma membrane

    Elin Larsson, Aleksei Kabedev ... Richard Lundmark
    Membrane insertion of Dyngo-4a results in a dynamin-independent inhibition of caveola dynamics, revealing that outer leaflet lipid packing in the plasma membrane contributes to the confinement of caveolae.

    Mechanistic insights into transcriptional regulation of ARHGAP36 expression identify a factor predictive of neuroblastoma survival

    Serhiy Havrylov, Armin M Gamper, Ordan J Lehmann
    Genetic experiments integrated with ChIP-sequencing and CRISPR interference reveal that overexpression of Foxc1 transcriptionally activates the expression of Arhgap36 and dysregulates multiple facets of Hedgehog pathway activity.

    A coma pattern-based autofocusing method resolves bacterial cold shock response at single-cell level

    Sihong Li, Zhixin Ma ... Shuqiang Huang
    A robust autofocusing method enables continuous single-cell imaging during rapid cooling, revealing sustained bacterial proliferation hidden by growth arrest inferred from optical-density measurements.
