    The cytoplasm of living cells can sustain transient and steady intracellular pressure gradients

    Majid Malboubi, Mohammad Hadi Esteki ... Guillaume Charras
    Stable pressure gradients can arise in cells from the combination of actomyosin-generated cortical tension, cytoplasmic poroelasticity, and water flows across the membrane.

    Blocking SHP2 benefits FGFR2 inhibitor and overcomes its resistance in FGFR2-amplified gastric cancer

    Yue Zhang, Hanbing Wang ... Yue Wang
    Dual blocking SHP2 and FGFR2 can not only promote the targeted tumor-killing effects and overcome FGFR2 inhibitor resistance caused by feedback activation, but also activate T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity.

    Developmental, regenerative, and behavioral dynamics in acoel reproduction

    Vikram Chandra, Samantha Elizabeth Tseng ... Mansi Srivastava
    Studying the reproductive life history of an acoel reveals that a body-size-dependent program regulates organ growth and regeneration dynamics and discovers a novel form of egg-laying behavior.
    1. Genetics and Genomics

    Competition for the conserved branch point sequence influences physiological outcomes in pre-mRNA splicing

    Karen Larisssa Pereira de Castro, Jose M Abril ... William S Fagg
    Competition between Quaking and SF1 for a subset of ACUAA intron branch sites influences alternative splicing in different tissues and organisms.

    Specific GPCRs elicit unique extracellular vesicle miRNA array signatures

    Xiao Shi, Michelle C Palumbo ... Aaron J Janowsky
    Unique extracellular vesicle microRNA signatures resulting from G protein-coupled receptor activation indicate distinct downstream signaling and functional networks by receptor, with implications for developing new drugs and understanding their long-term and off-target effects.

    Ex vivo and in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 screenings identify the roles of protein N-glycosylation in regulating T-cell activation and functions

    Yu Hong, Xiaofang Si ... Yu Zhang
    Inactivation of beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 leads to enhanced T-cell receptor activation and CD8+ T-cell function by affecting the galactosylation of T-cell receptor and CD8.

    Earliest evidence of elephant butchery at Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania) reveals the evolutionary impact of early human megafaunal exploitation

    Manuel Dominguez-Rodrigo, Enrique Baquedano ... Audax Mabulla
    The discovery of the earliest direct evidence of systematic proboscidean butchery at Olduvai Gorge demonstrates that by 1.8 Ma early hominins had strategically integrated megafaunal exploitation into their subsistence systems.
    1. Neuroscience

    Formation of task representations and replay in mouse medial prefrontal cortex

    Hamed Shabani, Hannah Muysers ... Christian Leibold
    Longitudinal calcium imaging in the medial prefrontal cortex reveals the emergence of de novo task representations and reward-associated replay.
    1. Neuroscience

    Profiling presynaptic scaffolds using split-GFP reconstitution reveals cell-type-specific spatial configurations in the fly brain

    Hongyang Wu, Yoh Maekawa ... Hiromu Tanimoto
    Profiling endogenous Bruchpilot proteins in multiple cell types in mushroom bodies uncovered multilayered spatial configurations of active zones, from stereotyped intracellular distribution patterns to local arrangements of neighboring synapses.
    1. Neuroscience

    iGABASnFR2 is an improved genetically encoded protein sensor of GABA

    Ilya Kolb, Jeremy P Hasseman ... Glenn C Turner
    An improved genetically encoded GABA sensor enables the most effective direct optical measurement of inhibitory neurotransmission to date.
