    Assembly of recombinant tau into filaments identical to those of Alzheimer’s disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy

    Sofia Lövestam, Fujiet Adrian Koh ... Sjors HW Scheres
    Laboratory-based methods are presented that produce filamentous tau aggregates with the same structures as those observed in neurodegenerative disease.

    Evolutionary conservation of centriole rotational asymmetry in the human centrosome

    Noémie Gaudin, Paula Martin Gil ... Juliette Azimzadeh
    Centriole rotational asymmetry, a structural property necessary for cytoskeletal organization in unicellular eukaryotes, is broadly conserved in the centrioles of human cells.

    Recognition of discrete export signals in early flagellar subunits during bacterial type III secretion

    Owain J Bryant, Paraminder Dhillon ... Gillian M Fraser
    Proteins for bacterial flagella biogenesis contain two discrete export signals, recognised sequentially by the flagellar Type III Secretion System to facilitate initial docking and subsequent opening of the export gate.

    Corticofugal regulation of predictive coding

    Alexandria MH Lesicko, Christopher F Angeloni ... Maria N Geffen
    A specific neuronal pathway within the auditory system represents information about the statistical prediction and error for incoming sounds, thereby contributing to efficient representation of complex sounds and sound streams in the brain.

    Evolution of sexual conflict in scorpionflies

    Agnieszka Soszyńska-Maj, Ewa Krzemińska ... Wiesław Krzemiński
    The fossil record of abdominal modifications in male scorpionflies documents a relatively late evolution of oppressive behaviour toward a female during mating and suggest degree of sexual coercion greater in Eocene than in any other known scorpionfly, extinct or extant.

    Noisy metabolism can promote microbial cross-feeding

    Jaime G Lopez, Ned S Wingreen
    Noise-averaging cooperation (NAC) is a novel theory for the emergence of microbial cross-feeding by which noisy intracellular metabolism can promote cooperation and cross-feeding among cells.

    Reprogramming and redifferentiation of mucosal-associated invariant T cells reveal tumor inhibitory activity

    Chie Sugimoto, Yukie Murakami ... Hiroshi Wakao
    Mucosal-associated invariant T cells, an emerging member of the innate-like T cells abundant in humans bridging the innate and the adaptive immunity, could be exploited as a novel tool for cancer immunotherapy through cell reprogramming.

    Quantitative mapping of keratin networks in 3D

    Reinhard Windoffer, Nicole Schwarz ... Rudolf E Leube
    Based on 3D visualization of fluorescently labeled cytoskeletal networks, an imaging platform is provided, which allows 3D network reconstruction, immersive visualization and quantification of local network properties serving as blueprints for functional modeling.

    Barcoded bulk QTL mapping reveals highly polygenic and epistatic architecture of complex traits in yeast

    Alex N Nguyen Ba, Katherine R Lawrence ... Michael M Desai
    A bulk barcoded quantitative trait locus approach increases the power and resolution of genotype-phenotype mapping in yeast, revealing that the genetic architecture of 18 complex traits is highly polygenic, and is characterized by widespread epistatic interactions and pleiotropic effects.

    Dendritic branch structure compartmentalizes voltage-dependent calcium influx in cortical layer 2/3 pyramidal cells

    Andrew T Landau, Pojeong Park ... Bernardo L Sabatini
    Elaborate dendritic branch patterns lead to a local and branch-specific reduction in impedance, which attenuates back-propagating action potentials and limits voltage-gated calcium influx.
