    The FAM53C/DYRK1A axis regulates the G1/S transition of the cell cycle

    Taylar Hammond, Jong Bin Choi ... Julien Sage
    The poorly characterized FAM53C protein is an inhibitor of the DYRK1A kinase and governs the G1/S transition of the cell cycle.

    Inference of germinal center evolutionary dynamics via simulation-based deep learning

    Duncan K Ralph, Athanasios G Bakis ... Frederick A Matsen
    Deep learning applied to B cell phylogenies reveals a simple, measurable curve relating receptor affinity to evolutionary fitness in germinal centers.

    Distinct mechanisms of inhibition of Kv2 potassium channels by tetraethylammonium and RY785

    Shan Zhang, Robyn Stix ... José D Faraldo-Gómez
    Computer simulations reveal the structural basis for a selective mechanism of ion-channel inhibition that could guide future pharmacological developments against associated human health disorders.

    Single-cell lineage tracing identifies hemogenic endothelial cells in the adult mouse bone marrow

    Jing-Xin Feng, Mei-Ting Yang ... Giovanna Tosato
    Single-cell and bulk lineage tracing reveals that adult bone marrow endothelial cells generate functional hematopoietic progenitor and mature blood cells, expanding the cell sources of postnatal hematopoiesis.

    AFD thermosensory neurons mediate tactile-dependent locomotion modulation in C. elegans

    Manuel Rosero, Jihong Bai
    The thermosensory neuron AFD unexpectedly modulates locomotion based on tactile experience through molecular and circuit mechanisms distinct from those underlying thermosensation.

    B cell expression of an enzymatic intermediary in ether lipid biosynthesis promotes antibody responses and germinal center size

    Sung Hoon Cho, Marissa A Jones ... Mark R Boothby
    Genetic experiments combined with cellular and biochemical analyses including lipidomics performed by imaging mass spectrometry reveal that the capacity of mature B lymphocytes and germinal center B cells to synthesize some ether phospholipids is vital for normal humoral responses.

    The dual molecular identity of vestibular kinocilia bridges structural and functional traits of primary and motile cilia

    Zhanhong Xu, Amirrasoul Tavakoli ... David Z He
    The kinocilium of vestibular hair cells is a unique organelle with molecular features of primary and motile cilia and may serve as an active, force-generating element within the hair bundle.

    The olfactory receptor SNIF-1 mediates foraging for leucine-enriched diets in C. elegans

    Ritika Siddiqui, Nikita Mehta ... Varsha Singh
    Behavioral analyses combined with genetics revealed that Caenorhabditis elegans uses an olfactory receptor-ligand module to forage for essential nutrients.

    A quantitative in vivo CRISPR-imaging platform identifies regulators of hyperplastic and hypertrophic adipose morphology in zebrafish

    Rebecca Wafer, Panna Tandon, James Minchin
    A scalable zebrafish imaging platform reveals that Foxp1 paralogues have non-redundant roles in developmental patterning of adipose morphology and adaptive remodelling capacity in response to a high-fat diet.

    Colony demographics shape nest construction in Camponotus fellah ants

    Harikrishnan Rajendran, Roi Weinberger ... Ofer Feinerman
    The architecture of an ant nest serves as a fossilized record of the colony's demographic history, with distinct growth patterns and catastrophic events through age-specific digging behaviors.
