    Mechanisms that regulate the C1-C2B mutual inhibition control functional switch of UNC-13

    Haowen Liu, Lei Li ... Zhitao Hu
    A novel mechanistic mechanism in UNC-13/Munc13 regulates synaptic neurotransmitter release at the Caenorhabditis elegans neuromuscular junction.

    Diverging roles of TRPV1 and TRPM2 in warm-temperature detection

    Muad Y Abd El Hay, Gretel B Kamm ... Jan Siemens
    Different aspects of thermal stimuli, such as speed and intensity, are detected by distinct TRP channel-based mechanisms, with TRPV1 and TRPM2 playing unique roles in warmth perception and thermal decision-making.
    1. Neuroscience

    Dynamic gamma modulation of hippocampal place cells predominates development of theta sequences

    Ning Wang, Yimeng Wang ... Dong Ming
    A subset of hippocampal place cells, which is phase-locked to fast gamma rhythms, compressively encodes information at precessing slow gamma phases and therefore predominates to theta sequence development.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    Developing a crop- wild-reservoir pathogen system to understand pathogen evolution and emergence

    Mark McMullan, Lawrence Percival-Alwyn ... Neil Hall
    Evidence for those pathogen genes selected specifically for success on crops.
    1. Cancer Biology

    Loss function of tumor suppressor FRMD8 confers resistance to tamoxifen therapy via a dual mechanism

    Weijie Wu, Miao Yu ... Hongquan Zhang
    Tumor-suppressive protein FRMD8 inhibits breast cancer progression by regulating the level of ERα and has the possibility to be a potential target for overcoming tamoxifen treatment resistance.

    Myristoylated Neuronal Calcium Sensor-1 captures the preciliary vesicle at distal appendages

    Tomoharu Kanie, Roy Ng ... Peter K Jackson
    Neuronal Calcium Sensor-1 (NCS1) is a protein that captures the preciliary vesicle in the early step of the cilium formation.
    1. Cell Biology

    A hierarchical pathway for assembly of the distal appendages that organize primary cilia

    Tomoharu Kanie, Beibei Liu ... Peter K Jackson
    Comprehensive analyses of localization, hierarchy, and function of the proteins located at the distal appendages of the centriole.

    Integrator complex subunit 12 knockout overcomes a transcriptional block to HIV latency reversal

    Carley N Gray, Manickam Ashokkumar ... Michael Emerman
    A block to more potent and specific release of HIV from latency has been identified as a subunit of the Integrator complex, which may aid strategies for HIV cure.

    Adventitial fibroblasts direct smooth muscle cell-state transition in pulmonary vascular disease

    Slaven Crnkovic, Helene Thekkekara Puthenparampil ... Grazyna Kwapiszewska
    Transition from healthy to diseased state is a cell-type-specific process, influenced by neighboring cells and resulting in functionally meaningful differences between pulmonary artery adventitial fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells.

    Trade-offs in modeling context dependency in complex trait genetics

    Eric Weine, Samuel Pattillo Smith ... Arbel Harpak
    The estimation of individual genetic effects across different contexts can be boiled down to a bias-variance trade-off, yet for complex traits, the joint consideration of numerous causal effects alters this trade-off.
