    Distinct neurexin-cerebellin complexes control AMPA- and NMDA-receptor responses in a circuit-dependent manner

    Jinye Dai, Kif Liakath-Ali ... Thomas C Südhof
    A genetic manipulation of the Nrxn1/3SS4+-Cbln1/2 complex reveals this signaling pathway has no role in synapse formation but functions to shape the NMDAR- and AMPAR-content at multiple types of synapses with distinct facets in diverse circuits.

    Microtubules restrict F-actin polymerization to the immune synapse via GEF-H1 to maintain polarity in lymphocytes

    Judith Pineau, Léa Pinon ... Paolo Pierobon
    Microfluidics and dynamic imaging allow systematic characterization of polarization kinetics in B lymphocytes and highlight the role of microtubules as master regulators of actin polymerization at the immune synapse.

    Non-rapid eye movement sleep determines resilience to social stress

    Brittany J Bush, Caroline Donnay ... J Christopher Ehlen
    Pre-existing variability in the regulation of non-rapid eye movement sleep predicts resilience to social-defeat stress.

    Depletion or cleavage of cohesin during anaphase differentially affects chromatin structure and segregation

    Jonay Garcia-Luis, Hélène Bordelet ... Luis Aragon
    Cohesin role in chromosome organisation during anaphase is necessary for the segregation of chromosomes.

    Vinculin recruitment to α-catenin halts the differentiation and maturation of enterocyte progenitors to maintain homeostasis of the Drosophila intestine

    Jerome Bohere, Buffy L Eldridge-Thomas, Golnar Kolahgar
    A subset of intestinal precursor cells is able to sense mechanical forces at cell–cell junctions to control the production of specialised cells.

    Determination of oligomeric states of proteins via dual-color colocalization with single molecule localization microscopy

    Hua Leonhard Tan, Stefanie Bungert-Plümke ... Gabriel Stölting
    The DCC-SMLM algorithm allows to determine protein oligomeric states in situ, using the information obtained from the colocalization of fluorescent markers, overcoming the need for extraction of proteins from cells or complicated experimental setups when using microscopy.

    Human WDR5 promotes breast cancer growth and metastasis via KMT2-independent translation regulation

    Wesley L Cai, Jocelyn Fang-Yi Chen ... Qin Yan
    The chromatin regulator WDR5 is a regulator of translation, and small molecule inhibitors or degraders of WDR5 can be used to treat triple-negative breast cancer.

    Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of shrimp immune cells identifies macrophage-like phagocytes

    Peng Yang, Yaohui Chen ... Fan Wang
    A novel innate immune cell subset in shrimp shows similarities with human macrophage.

    Presynaptic Rac1 controls synaptic strength through the regulation of synaptic vesicle priming

    Christian Keine, Mohammed Al-Yaari ... Samuel M Young Jr
    A combination of genetic, electrophysiological, and modeling approaches reveals that presynaptic Rac1 is a key molecule that controls synaptic strength and plasticity by regulating the synaptic vesicle cycle steps controlling the number of fusion competent synaptic vesicles.
