    Large protein complex interfaces have evolved to promote cotranslational assembly

    Mihaly Badonyi, Joseph A Marsh
    Analysis of protein interfaces suggests cotranslational assembly can be an adaptive process, likely serving to minimise non-specific interactions with other proteins in the cell.

    Natural killer (NK) cell-derived extracellular-vesicle shuttled microRNAs control T cell responses

    Sara G Dosil, Sheila Lopez-Cobo ... Lola Fernandez-Messina
    Extracellular vesicles derived from natural killer cells contain a specific repertoire of microRNAs that promote Th1 responses.

    ATP binding facilitates target search of SWR1 chromatin remodeler by promoting one-dimensional diffusion on DNA

    Claudia C Carcamo, Matthew F Poyton ... Taekjip Ha
    In vitro single-particle tracking reveals that ATP binding increases the one-dimensional diffusion of yeast chromatin remodeler SWR1 on DNA stretched between optical tweezers and diffusion is confined by protein roadblocks and nucleosomes.

    Senescent preosteoclast secretome promotes metabolic syndrome associated osteoarthritis through cyclooxygenase 2

    Weiping Su, Guanqiao Liu ... Mei Wan
    Under metabolic syndrome, joint subchondral preosteoclasts acquire a senescence-associated secretome, which causes a rapid structural alteration of subchondral bone and contributes to the development of osteoarthritis.

    Three-dimensional structure of kinetochore-fibers in human mitotic spindles

    Robert Kiewisz, Gunar Fabig ... Thomas Müller-Reichert
    Comprehensive 3D electron tomography reconstructions of metaphase spindles in human tissue culture cells reveal that kinetochore-fibers broaden as they extend polewards, forming semi-direct connections to the pole, where they preferentially interact with the spindle network.

    Unsupervised detection of fragment length signatures of circulating tumor DNA using non-negative matrix factorization

    Gabriel Renaud, Maibritt Nørgaard ... Søren Besenbacher
    Non-negative Matrix Factorization is a powerful strategy for unsupervised analysis of cell-free DNA that enables simultaneous estimation of the blood tumor fraction and the fragment length distribution of circulating tumor DNA.

    Interplay of surface interaction and magnetic torque in single-cell motion of magnetotactic bacteria in microfluidic confinement

    Agnese Codutti, Mohammad A Charsooghi ... Stefan Klumpp
    Confined magnetotactic bacteria exhibit circling and U-turn trajectories explained by a competition of alignment with a magnetic field and alignment along the confining walls as well as considerable cell-to-cell heterogeneity.

    Amoxicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae can be resensitized by targeting the mevalonate pathway as indicated by sCRilecs-seq

    Liselot Dewachter, Julien Dénéréaz ... Jan-Willem Veening
    High-throughput single-cell based, genome-wide gene silencing screening (sCRilecs-seq) revealed that drugging the mevalonate pathway resensitizes amoxicillin-resistant pneumococci.

    Enteroendocrine cell types that drive food reward and aversion

    Ling Bai, Nilla Sivakumar ... Zachary A Knight
    A method for the genetic manipulation of enteroendocrine cells reveals how different intestinal cell types control food intake and drive post-ingestive learning.

    Dopamine D2Rs coordinate cue-evoked changes in striatal acetylcholine levels

    Kelly M Martyniuk, Arturo Torres-Herraez ... Christoph Kellendonk
    Pharmacological and genetic studies in the mouse reveal how dopamine D2 receptors on cholinergic interneurons regulate cue-evoked changes in the levels of striatal acetylcholine and dopamine during behavior.
