    Analysis of cancer mutations introduced into the Drosophila melanogaster Notch negative regulatory region uncovers a diversity of regulatory outcomes

    Hideyuki Shimizu, Martin Baron
    Heterogeneity in outcomes of differently located activating mutations of Notch indicates the need and potential for mutant specific targeting of Notch in cancer.

    Niche exclusion of a lung pathogen in mice with designed probiotic communities

    Kelsey E Hern, Ashlee M Phillips ... Adam P Arkin
    Probiotic communities designed to inhibit a lung pathogen through niche exclusion show promise as a novel method of preventing respiratory infection.

    Heritability of movie-evoked brain activity and connectivity

    David C Gruskin, Daniel J Vieira ... Gaurav H Patel
    Genetic influences on how the brain processes complex naturalistic stimuli can be traced back to inherited control over stable spatial and temporal features of brain function.

    Methylation clocks fail to generalize across genetically admixed individuals

    Sebastián Cruz-Gonzalez, Ogechukwu Okpala ... John A Capra
    DNA-methylation-based predictors of biological age often fail to generalize across human populations, limiting their utility as biomarkers of aging and disease.

    Proteome dynamics reveal Leiomodin 1 as a key regulator of myogenic differentiation

    Ellen Späth, Svenja C Schüler ... Alessandro Ori
    Leiomodin 1 acts as a critical molecular switch during early muscle stem cell differentiation by sequestering the deacetylase SIRT1 in the cytoplasm to initiate the myogenic program.

    Thalamo-accumbal circuit adaptations following extended oxycodone abstinence

    Yanaira Alonso Caraballo, Yan Li ... Elena Chartoff
    Prolonged oxycodone abstinence strengthens paraventricular thalamus to nucleus accumbens shell glutamatergic transmission in both sexes, yet only females show enhanced relapse, dissociating shared synaptic plasticity from sex-specific relapse vulnerability.

    Gene dosage imbalance disrupts systemic metabolism in the Dp16 Down syndrome mouse model

    Fangluo Chen, Muzna Saqib ... G William Wong
    Gene dosage imbalance due to the triplication of human chromosome 21 gene orthologs impairs whole-body glucose and lipid metabolism by disrupting homeostatic processes across major metabolic tissues.

    Decoupling AMPK from fatty acid synthesis allows maintenance of fitness late in life

    Hanane Hadj-Moussa, Megan Ulusan ... Jonathan Houseley
    Re-engineering a highly conserved metabolic pathway in yeast prevents age-related functional decline and proves that ageing is not inevitably linked to loss of fitness.

    ATP-driven conformational dynamics reveal hidden intermediates in a heterodimeric ABC transporter

    Matija Pečak, Christoph Nocker, Robert Tampé
    Hidden outward-facing intermediates and long-lived ATP-bound states reveal how ATP binding drives conformational dynamics in the heterodimeric ABC transporter TmrAB.

    Repurposed small molecule toxin inhibitors neutralise a diversity of venoms from the Neotropical viperid snake genus Bothrops

    Rachel H Clare, Adam Westhorpe ... Nicholas R Casewell
    Despite the variation in venom across the Bothrops snake genus, repurposed drugs demonstrated pan-species neutralisation in enzymatic, coagulation, and haemorrhage assays, highlighting their value as novel therapies for Neotropical snakebites.
