    Autosomal allelic inactivation at loci with variable replication timing and dosage sensitivity

    Michael B Heskett, Athanasios E Vouzas ... Mathew J Thayer
    Stable allele-specific epigenetic regulation creates cellular mosaicism of numerous autosomal dosage-sensitive genes involved in human neurological and developmental disorders.

    Dynamic assembly of malate dehydrogenase–citrate synthase multienzyme complex in the mitochondria

    Joy Omini, Inga Krassovskaya ... Toshihiro Obata
    The yeast mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase–citrate synthase metabolon is a dynamic multienzyme complex that continuously assembles and disassembles in response to respiratory activity, mitochondrial matrix pH, and substrate abundances.

    Depletion of extracellular asparagine impairs self-reactive T cells and ameliorates autoimmunity in a murine model of multiple sclerosis

    Peter Georgiev, Sheila Johnson ... Arlene H Sharpe
    A comprehensive investigation of extracellular asparagine utilization highlights its role as a critical regulator of murine CD4+ T cell activation, differentiation, and function.
    1. Neuroscience

    Medial prefrontal cortex encodes but is not required to generate goal-directed actions under threat

    Muhammad S Sajid, Ji Zhou, Manuel A Castro-Alamancos
    Medial prefrontal cortex activity is not required for learning or execution of adaptive avoidance behavior, despite encoding select task features.

    TGF-β drives the conversion of conventional NK cells into uterine tissue-resident NK cells to support murine pregnancy

    Josselyn D Barahona, Liping Yang ... Wayne M Yokoyama
    Uterine natural killer (NK) cells require TGF-β to be derived from conventional NK cells and contribute to successful pregnancy.
    1. Neuroscience

    Continuous developmental changes in word recognition and language learning across early childhood

    Michael C Frank, Virginia A Marchman ... Martin Zettersten
    Analysis of data across many different studies shows that children's word recognition improves continuously from infancy through age 5 years, and shows strong coupling with early vocabulary.
    1. Genetics and Genomics

    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.
    1. Chromosomes and Gene Expression

    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.
    1. Chromosomes and Gene Expression

    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.

    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.
