    Capping protein regulates endosomal trafficking by controlling F-actin density around endocytic vesicles and recruiting RAB5 effectors

    Dawei Wang, Zuodong Ye ... Jianbo Yue
    CapZ controls actin filament density around immature early endosomes via its C-terminal domain to facilitate the homotypic fusion of the endocytic vesicles, and it functions as a scaffold protein via its N-terminal domain to recruit RAB5 effectors to early endosomes.

    EGFR transactivates RON to drive oncogenic crosstalk

    Carolina Franco Nitta, Ellen W Green ... Diane S Lidke
    Unidirectional crosstalk occurs between signaling competent EGFR dimers activating RON within heteromeric complexes at the plasma membrane.

    Arginine-vasopressin mediates counter-regulatory glucagon release and is diminished in type 1 diabetes

    Angela Kim, Jakob G Knudsen ... Linford JB Briant
    A novel process by which counter-regulatory glucagon release is regulated in both mouse and human.

    Tightly coupled inhibitory and excitatory functional networks in the developing primary visual cortex

    Haleigh N Mulholland, Bettina Hein ... Gordon B Smith
    In vivo calcium imaging reveals that prior to visual experience, inhibitory spontaneous activity in the developing visual cortex is highly modular and participates in large-scale correlated networks that are co-aligned to excitatory activity.

    Remote immune processes revealed by immune-derived circulating cell-free DNA

    Ilana Fox-Fisher, Sheina Piyanzin ... Yuval Dor
    Cell-free DNA methylation markers allow monitoring of immune and inflammatory cell turnover.

    Conformational dynamics of auto-inhibition in the ER calcium sensor STIM1

    Stijn van Dorp, Ruoyi Qiu ... Richard S Lewis
    Single-molecule FRET measurements and protein crosslinking reveal the compact structure of quiescent STIM1 and the conformational rearrangements that enable it to activate store-operated calcium entry.

    Modulation of pulsatile GnRH dynamics across the ovarian cycle via changes in the network excitability and basal activity of the arcuate kisspeptin network

    Margaritis Voliotis, Xiao Feng Li ... Krasimira Tsaneva-Atanasova
    Pulse generation is an emergent property of the arcuate kisspeptin network that is regulated throughout the ovarian cycle via coordinated changes in neuronal communication and basal activation.

    Lactate is an energy substrate for rodent cortical neurons and enhances their firing activity

    Anastassios Karagiannis, Thierry Gallopin ... Bruno Cauli
    Lactate is preferred to glucose as an energy substrate and exacerbates spiking activity in most neuron types of juvenile somatosensory cortex by closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels.

    Highly synergistic combinations of nanobodies that target SARS-CoV-2 and are resistant to escape

    Fred D Mast, Peter C Fridy ... Michael P Rout
    A large repertoire of nanobodies that target discrete regions of SARS-CoV-2 spike shows effective neutralization against variants of concern with many pairwise combinations resistant to escape and demonstrating synergistic neutralization activities.

    Investigating the replicability of preclinical cancer biology

    Timothy M Errington, Maya Mathur ... Brian A Nosek
    A project to repeat experiments from high-impact papers in cancer biology found that the effects observed in replications were frequently weaker than, or inconsistent with, the effects reported in the original papers.
