    1. Medicine

    The proportion of randomized controlled trials that inform clinical practice

    Nora Hutchinson, Hannah Moyer ... Jonathan Kimmelman
    The majority of trials possess at least one characteristic that may compromise their ability to guide clinical practice.

    Double NPY motifs at the N-terminus of the yeast t-SNARE Sso2 synergistically bind Sec3 to promote membrane fusion

    Maximilian Peer, Hua Yuan ... Gang Dong
    A novel dual-site binding between the yeast t-SNARE Sso2 and Sec3 (a component of the exocyst tethering complex) facilitates the fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane.

    A Notch-dependent transcriptional mechanism controls expression of temporal patterning factors in Drosophila medulla

    Alokananda Ray, Xin Li
    Cell-cycle-dependent Notch signaling cooperates with temporal transcription factors to promote the progression of the temporal transcription factor cascade in Drosophila medulla neuroblasts.

    Non-canonical function of an Hif-1α splice variant contributes to the sustained flight of locusts

    Ding Ding, Jie Zhang ... Le Kang
    The long-distance flight of locusts is greatly facilitated by a muscle-abundantly expressed Hif-1α splice variant, which remains active in normoxia and scavenges flight-induced reactive oxygen species by upregulating the expression of DJ-1 (PARK 7).

    p75NTR prevents the onset of cerebellar granule cell migration via RhoA activation

    Juan P Zanin, Wilma J Friedman
    The p75 neurotrophin receptor prevents the migration of the granule cell precursors away from its mitogenic niche in the external granule layer of the cerebellum, by maintaining a pool of undifferentiated cells capable of responding to mitogenic signals.

    Nuclear fascin regulates cancer cell survival

    Campbell D Lawson, Samantha Peel ... Maddy Parsons
    Nuclear fascin accumulation occurs upon inhibition of Histone H3 kinases and results in enhanced and sustained nuclear F-actin bundling leading to reduced cancer cell invasion, viability, and nuclear fascin-specific/driven apoptosis.

    Dynamic molecular evolution of a supergene with suppressed recombination in white-throated sparrows

    Hyeonsoo Jeong, Nicole M Baran ... Soojin V Yi
    Comprehensive genomic and population genetic analyses of a non-recombining chromosome in white-throated sparrows reveal the actions of purifying selection, positive selection, and balancing selection, expanding our understanding of supergene evolution.
    1. Medicine

    Activation of targetable inflammatory immune signaling is seen in myelodysplastic syndromes with SF3B1 mutations

    Gaurav S Choudhary, Andrea Pellagatti ... Amit Verma
    SF3B1 mutation in myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia lead to oncogenic long isoforms of IRAK4 that are therapeutically targetable.

    An auto-inhibited state of protein kinase G and implications for selective activation

    Rajesh Sharma, Jeong Joo Kim ... Choel Kim
    The crystal structure of a mammalian protein kinase G reveals contacts between the regulatory and catalytic domains, indicates how cGMP binding alters domain conformations and thus domain:domain interactions, and informs a model for enzyme auto-inhibition and cooperative activation.

    Transcriptional heterogeneity and cell cycle regulation as central determinants of Primitive Endoderm priming

    Marta Perera, Silas Boye Nissen ... Joshua M Brickman
    The simultaneous expansion of G1 and acceleration of the cell cycle, while ensuring synchronous inheritance of these properties, progressively induces cell identity in differentiation.
