    Kinesin-1, -2, and -3 motors use family-specific mechanochemical strategies to effectively compete with dynein during bidirectional transport

    Allison M Gicking, Tzu-Chen Ma ... William O Hancock
    The motility of three different kinesin-dynein pairs were analyzed and found to be strikingly similar, suggesting that bidirectional transport is not regulated by motor type, but rather by scaffold, adapter, and regulatory proteins.

    De novo apical domain formation inside the Drosophila adult midgut epithelium

    Jia Chen, Daniel St Johnston
    Drosophila enteroblasts form septate junctions, an apical domain and an internal lumen inside the midgut epithelium before they reach the gut surface, thereby maintaining the intestinal barrier as they integrate.

    BRCA2 BRC missense variants disrupt RAD51-dependent DNA repair

    Judit Jimenez-Sainz, Joshua Mathew ... Ryan B Jensen
    Novel variants in the BRC repeat region of BRCA2 were identified and comprehensively characterized as either deleterious or benign.

    Estimating the potential to prevent locally acquired HIV infections in a UNAIDS Fast-Track City, Amsterdam

    Alexandra Blenkinsop, Mélodie Monod ... Oliver Ratmann
    Phylogenetic evidence suggests that the majority of HIV infections occurring in the UNAIDS Fast-track city Amsterdam continue to have an Amsterdam resident as source, indicating that the majority of HIV infections in Amsterdam could be prevented through city-level interventions.

    A single-cell atlas of the cycling murine ovary

    Mary E Morris, Marie-Charlotte Meinsohn ... David Pépin
    A survey of the transcriptomic landscape of the mouse ovary at the single-cell level reveals both the cellular complexity of this organs and the dynamic nature of the cellular states that accompany estrous cycling.

    A novel rhesus macaque model of Huntington’s disease recapitulates key neuropathological changes along with motor and cognitive decline

    Alison R Weiss, William A Liguore ... Jodi L McBride
    mHTT delivery in key cortical and subcortical brain regions leads to hallmark mHTT aggregate formation, gray and white matter degenerative changes, along with motor and cognitive decline in a new macaque model of Huntington's disease.

    Association of lithocholic acid with skeletal muscle hypertrophy through TGR5-IGF-1 and skeletal muscle mass in cultured mouse myotubes, chronic liver disease rats and humans

    Yasuyuki Tamai, Akiko Eguchi ... Hayato Nakagawa
    Lithocholic acid associates with skeletal muscle mass and plays an important role in skeletal muscle hypertrophy through activation of the bile acid receptor.

    Stability and asynchrony of local communities but less so diversity increase regional stability of Inner Mongolian grassland

    Yonghui Wang, Shaopeng Wang ... Bernhard Schmid
    The regional stability across distant local communities is related to the stability of and asynchronous dynamics among local communities, which are strongly impacted by population dynamics of a few abundant species and relative weakly by species diversity.

    Group II truncated haemoglobin YjbI prevents reactive oxygen species-induced protein aggregation in Bacillus subtilis

    Takeshi Imai, Ryuta Tobe ... Hisaaki Mihara
    The repair of oxidatively damaged proteins by the newly discovered activity in YjbI is important for the adaptation of Bacillus subtilis to oxidative environments.

    A dopamine-gated learning circuit underpins reproductive state-dependent odor preference in Drosophila females

    Ariane C Boehm, Anja B Friedrich ... Ilona C Grunwald Kadow
    Behavioral and in vivo imaging analysis in the fly suggests that mating-related sensory experience regulates female odor perception and expression of choice behavior through a dopamine-gated learning circuit.
