    DNA circles promote yeast ageing in part through stimulating the reorganization of nuclear pore complexes

    Anne C Meinema, Anna Marzelliusardottir ... Yves Barral
    Acetylation of nuclear basket components, following their interaction with accumulating extrachromosomal DNA circles, drives the reorganization of nuclear pore complexes and the loss of cellular viability associated with replicative ageing.

    Chemoreceptor co-expression in Drosophila melanogaster olfactory neurons

    Darya Task, Chun-Chieh Lin ... Christopher J Potter
    Olfactory neurons of insects, once thought to express only a single type of olfactory receptor, exhibit widespread co-expression of receptors from multiple chemosensory gene families.

    Patient-specific Boolean models of signalling networks guide personalised treatments

    Arnau Montagud, Jonas Béal ... Laurence Calzone
    Tailoring Boolean models to 488 prostate cancer patients and 8 cell lines data allows for the experimentally validated personalisation of drug treatments.

    Microtubule rescue at midzone edges promotes overlap stability and prevents spindle collapse during anaphase B

    Manuel Lera-Ramirez, François J Nédélec, Phong T Tran
    A simple mechanism relying on microtubule rescues occurring at midzone edges allows fission yeast spindles to elongate during anaphase B while maintaining microtubule overlaps, without the need to precisely regulate microtubule growth speed.

    The pupillary light response as a physiological index of aphantasia, sensory and phenomenological imagery strength

    Lachlan Kay, Rebecca Keogh ... Joel Pearson
    Physiological evidence shows that the pupillary response to imagined light can be used to index the strength and vividness of an individual’s visual imagery and as a new tool for confirming aphantasia.

    Multi-omics insights into host-viral response and pathogenesis in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever viruses for novel therapeutic target

    Ujjwal Neogi, Nazif Elaldi ... Ali Mirazimi
    The interplay of the host metabolic reprogramming, its negative association with antiviral biological signaling pathways and the IFN-mediated host antiviral mechanism during Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever orthonairovirus (CCHFV) infection could provide attractive options for therapeutic intervention of CCHF.

    MCMBP promotes the assembly of the MCM2–7 hetero-hexamer to ensure robust DNA replication in human cells

    Yuichiro Saito, Venny Santosa ... Masato T Kanemaki
    The MCM-binding protein (MCMBP) promotes the hexamer assembly of the replicative MCM2–7 helicase by interacting with the nascent MCM3 subunit, playing a key role in achieving high expression levels of the functional MCM2–7 helicase for maintaining genome integrity.

    Neural excursions from manifold structure explain patterns of learning during human sensorimotor adaptation

    Corson Areshenkoff, Daniel J Gale ... Jason P Gallivan
    Human sensorimotor learning is associated with changes in the structure of cognitive and motor functional brain networks, and reconfiguration processes occurring in these networks are associated with distinct patterns of subject learning and relearning.

    High and stable ATP levels prevent aberrant intracellular protein aggregation in yeast

    Masak Takaine, Hiromi Imamura, Satoshi Yoshida
    The first demonstration that cellular ATP homeostasis suppresses high volatility of cellular ATP levels to ensure proteostasis that prevents accumulation of cytotoxic protein aggregation.

    Global analysis of cell behavior and protein dynamics reveals region-specific roles for Shroom3 and N-cadherin during neural tube closure

    Austin T Baldwin, Juliana H Kim ... John B Wallingford
    Tissue-level cell tracking and analysis of actomyosin and N-cadherin adhesion dynamics, coupled with disruption of the regulatory gene Shroom3, reveals region-specific cell behaviors along the anteroposterior axis during neural tube closure.
