    Changes in neural progenitor lineage composition during astrocytic differentiation of human iPSCs

    Zongze Li, Lucia Fernandez Cardo ... Meng Li
    A genetic tracing study demonstrates that neural progenitor lineage dominance may not be maintained in differentiated progeny, underscoring the critical need for region-specific markers to validate pluripotent stem cell–derived products.

    Newly trained navigation and verbal memory skills in humans elicit changes in task-related networks but not brain structure

    Li Zheng, Zachary Boogaart ... Steven M Weisberg
    Learning new navigation or memory skills engages flexible brain network dynamics without altering gray matter, white matter, or hippocampal structure.

    Neuronal migration depends on blood flow in the adult mammalian brain

    Takashi Ogino, Akari Saito ... Kazunobu Sawamoto
    Blood flow enhances neuronal migration in the adult brain via ghrelin signaling.

    Deep3DSIM: Super-resolution imaging of thick tissue using 3D structured illumination with adaptive optics

    Jingyu Wang, Danail Stoychev ... Ilan Davis
    Deep3DSIM enables super-resolution imaging >130 µm into complex tissues of fixed and live specimens in an upright configuration, allowing sample manipulation, as well as rapid refocusing without the need to move the specimen or objective lens.

    The Rab7-Epg5 and Rab39-ema modules cooperatively position autophagosomes for efficient lysosomal fusions

    Attila Boda, Villő Balázs ... Péter Lőrincz
    An RNAi based genetic screen and subsequent analyses reveal how dyneins and small GTPases coordinate autophagosome positioning at the ncMTOC in fat cells, advancing understanding of autophagic vesicle transport.

    Pleomorphic effects of three small-molecule inhibitors on transcription elongation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNA polymerase

    Omar Herrera-Asmat, Alexander B Tong ... Carlos Bustamante
    Optical tweezers are used to gain mechanistic insight in the mechanism of inhibition of three distinct compounds being developed as antibiotics against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

    Brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle coordinately contribute to thermogenesis in mice

    Yuna Izumi-Mishima, Rie Tsutsumi ... Hiroshi Sakaue
    Muscle-derived branched-chain amino acids support thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, thereby helping maintain body temperature during impaired muscle function or physiological stress.

    Tonotopy is not preserved in a descending stage of auditory cortex

    Miaoqing Gu, Shanshan Liang ... Xiaowei Chen
    Cortical feedback to the thalamus lacks the precise spatial organization seen in ascending pathways.

    The holocephalan ratfish endoskeleton shares trabecular and areolar mineralization patterns, but not tesserae, with elasmobranchs little skate and catshark

    Oghenevwogaga Joseph Atake, Fidji Berio ... B Frank Eames
    Novel and published data confirm that cartilaginous fishes (chondrichthyans) from many different clades share interesting skeletal features that are similar to bone, but some 'classic' chondrichthyan features are not shared.

    Single-cell transcriptome sequencing for opening the blood-brain barrier through specific mode electroacupuncture stimulation

    Congcong Ma, Zhaoxing Jia ... Xianming Lin
    Single-cell transcriptome sequencing results of rats intervened with specific mode electroacupuncture (an emerging method for opening the blood-brain barrier).
