    The molecular logic of Gtr1/2- and Pib2-dependent TORC1 regulation in budding yeast

    Jacob H Cecil, Cristina M Padilla ... Andrew P Capaldi
    Dual regulation of TORC1 by Gtr1/2 and Pib2 drives cells into three distinct signaling states, establishing a new paradigm for graded TORC1 signaling.

    The C-terminus of the multi-drug efflux pump EmrE prevents proton leak by gating transport

    Merissa Brousseau, Da Teng ... Katherine A Henzler-Wildman
    The C-terminal tail acts as a secondary gate to regulate substrate access into the primary binding site for transport across the membrane.

    Heat stress induces phage tolerance in Enterobacteriaceae

    Fan Zhang, Hao-Ze Chen ... Jia-Feng Liu
    Bacterial persistence against phages enables survival under infection, and heat treatment enhances this tolerance, facilitating resistance evolution and influencing the effectiveness of phage therapy.

    Cestode larvae excite host neuronal circuits via glutamatergic signalling

    Anja de Lange, Hayley Tomes ... Joseph V Raimondo
    Parasitic tapeworm larvae release glutamate and other excitatory molecules that can directly excite brain neurons.

    Competence for transcellular infection in the root cortex involves a post-replicative, cell-cycle exit decision in Medicago truncatula

    Morgane Batzenschlager, Beatrice Lace ... Thomas Ott
    Imaging deep root tissues with a combination of cell-cycle reporters reveals that a cortical cell file traversed by symbiotic bacteria exhibits reduced proliferative potential and enters a prolonged G2 phase.

    Drosophila hamlet mediates epithelial tissue assembly of the reproductive system

    Huazhen Wang, Ludivine Bertonnier-Brouty ... Qi Dai
    Hamlet regulates heterotypic epithelial fusion by controlling spatial and temporal expression of known and novel epithelial regulators like Wnt and Tl pathway components, a mechanism potentially conserved through evolution.

    Multifaceted role of galanin in brain excitability

    Nicolas N Rieser, Milena Ronchetti ... Stephan CF Neuhauss
    The neuropeptide galanin modulates whole-brain activity and stress responses in zebrafish, revealing a complex, receptor-dependent role in seizure regulation with implications for epilepsy, and related neurological disorders.
    1. Neuroscience

    The interplay between homeostatic synaptic scaling and homeostatic structural plasticity maintains the robust firing rate of neural networks

    Han Lu, Sandra Diaz-Pier ... Andreas Vlachos
    A biphasic structural plasticity rule interacts with homeostatic synaptic scaling to maintain firing rate homeostasis in neural networks.

    The human cytomegalovirus-encoded pUS28 antagonizes CD4+ T cell recognition by targeting CIITA

    Fabienne Maassen, Vu Thuy Khanh Le-Trilling ... Mirko Trilling
    Through the destabilization of CIITA, the human cytomegalovirus-encoded protein pUS28 antagonizes the expression of the HLA-II molecules CD74/Ii, HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, HLA-DM, and HLA-DP, diminishing the activation of HCMV-specific CD4+ T cells and reducing their secretion of antiviral cytokines.

    Heterogeneous efflux pump expression underpins phenotypic resistance to antimicrobial peptides

    Ka Kiu Lee, Urszula Łapińska ... Stefano Pagliara
    Sub-populations of non growing bacteria survive treatment with antimicrobial peptides by mounting an efflux response.
