    Phorbolester-activated Munc13-1 and ubMunc13-2 exert opposing effects on dense-core vesicle secretion

    Sébastien Houy, Joana S Martins ... Jakob Balslev Sørensen
    The priming protein ubMunc13-2 and Synaptotagmin-7 cooperate with phorbolesters/diacylglycerol to stimulate vesicle priming in adrenal chromaffin cells, whereas phorbolesters/diacylglycerol interacting with Munc13-1 inhibit vesicle fusion, which identifies opposing functions of these two Munc13 proteins.

    Airway basal cells show regionally distinct potential to undergo metaplastic differentiation

    Yizhuo Zhou, Ying Yang ... Wellington V Cardoso
    A combination of unbiased scRNA-sequencing and functional approaches in organoid cultures and injury-repair models in vivo reveals major heterogeneity in adult murine airway basal cells, which is established prenatally and conserved in humans.

    Functional gradients in the human lateral prefrontal cortex revealed by a comprehensive coordinate-based meta-analysis

    Majd Abdallah, Gaston E Zanitti ... Demian Wassermann
    A comprehensive meta-analysis of the neuroimaging literature reveals that the lateral prefrontal cortex of humans is mainly organized along its rostrocaudal axis according to a unimodal-to-transmodal pattern of network connectivity and a concrete-to-abstract axis of functional associations.

    Age-dependent aggregation of ribosomal RNA-binding proteins links deterioration in chromatin stability with challenges to proteostasis

    Julie Paxman, Zhen Zhou ... Nan Hao
    The interaction between rDNA instability and proteostasis stress, two major aging hallmarks, underlies single-cell aging trajectories in yeast.

    Murine endothelial serine palmitoyltransferase 1 (SPTLC1) is required for vascular development and systemic sphingolipid homeostasis

    Andrew Kuo, Antonio Checa ... Timothy Hla
    Endothelial sphingolipid biosynthesis is essential for maintaining vascular development, neovascular proliferation, non-CNS tissue sphingolipid levels, and hepatocyte response to stress.

    Evolutionary rescue of phosphomannomutase deficiency in yeast models of human disease

    Ryan C Vignogna, Mariateresa Allocca ... Gregory I Lang
    Experimental evolution of yeast models of congenital disorders of glycosylation reveals that reduction, but not loss, of phosphoglucomutase activity best compensates for impaired phosphomannomutase activity.

    GCN2 eIF2 kinase promotes prostate cancer by maintaining amino acid homeostasis

    Ricardo A Cordova, Jagannath Misra ... Kirk A Staschke
    The ISR kinase GCN2 is critical for maintaining tumor amino acid levels to facilitate growth, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of prostate cancer by inducing starvation for essential amino acids.

    Foveal vision anticipates defining features of eye movement targets

    Lisa M Kroell, Martin Rolfs
    Before a saccadic eye movement to a location in the visual periphery, human observers' foveal vision becomes more sensitive to the features defining the eye movement target, anticipating information that will soon be fixated in a retinotopic reference frame.

    In vivo generation of bone marrow from embryonic stem cells in interspecies chimeras

    Bingqiang Wen, Guolun Wang ... Vladimir V Kalinichenko
    Blastocyst complementation of rat embryos with donor mouse embryonic stem cells was used to simultaneously produce multiple, donor-derived hematopoietic and stromal cells in the interspecies bone marrow that exhibited normal gene expression signatures, cell surface markers, and functional characteristics.

    Poxviruses capture host genes by LINE-1 retrotransposition

    Sarah M Fixsen, Kelsey R Cone ... Nels C Elde
    Active selfish genetic elements in infected cells aid virus adaptation by catalyzing the transfer of host genes to virus genomes.
