    Matriptase activation of Gq drives epithelial disruption and inflammation via RSK and DUOX

    Jiajia Ma, Claire A Scott ... Tom J Carney
    The serine protease Matriptase orchestrates simultaneous epithelial cell motility and inflammation in pathological states through respective activation of the MAPK pathway and generation of hydrogen peroxide.

    Mapping brain-behavior space relationships along the psychosis spectrum

    Jie Lisa Ji, Markus Helmer ... Alan Anticevic
    A data-reduced neuro-behavioral geometry in psychosis spectrum disorders mapped symptoms stably on to distinct functional brain regions and offers a framework for informing personalized treatment selection decisions.

    An actin-related protein that is most highly expressed in Drosophila testes is critical for embryonic development

    Courtney M Schroeder, Sarah A Tomlin ... Harmit S Malik
    Non-canonical ‘testis-specific’ actin-related protein (Arp), Arp53D, is critical for early embryonic development in Drosophila, revealing important roles for lineage-specific, divergent, testis-expressed non-canonical Arps outside the male germline in animals.

    Dynamic early clusters of nodal proteins contribute to node of Ranvier assembly during myelination of peripheral neurons

    Elise LV Malavasi, Aniket Ghosh ... Peter J Brophy
    Dynamic early clusters of nodal proteins in peripheral nerves represent a neurofascin-dependent developmental stage of node assembly during myelination that precedes heminode formation.

    Crosstalk between repair pathways elicits double-strand breaks in alkylated DNA and implications for the action of temozolomide

    Robert P Fuchs, Asako Isogawa ... Shingo Fujii
    DNA lesions formed by alkylating agents trigger double-strand breaks, in the absence of replication, by the action of MMR and BER at nearby O-alkyl and N-alkyl adducts, respectively.

    DNA-RNA hybrids at DSBs interfere with repair by homologous recombination

    Pedro Ortega, José Antonio Mérida-Cerro ... Andrés Aguilera
    Genetic and physical analyses reveal that DNA-RNA hybrids form fortuitously at DNA double-strand breaks during transcription and need removal to allow repair by homologous recombination.

    Reduced synchroneity of intra-islet Ca2+ oscillations in vivo in Robo-deficient β cells

    Melissa T Adams, JaeAnn M Dwulet ... Barak Blum
    Synchronized β cell response to glucose is lost concomitant with loss of islet architecture in Robo-deficient islets of Langerhans in vivo.

    The solubility product extends the buffering concept to heterotypic biomolecular condensates

    Aniruddha Chattaraj, Michael L Blinov, Leslie M Loew
    The solubility product, a thermodynamic concept classically applied to poorly soluble ionic solutes, can rationalize the concentration dependence for liquid-liquid phase separation of multicomponent multivalent molecules.

    Increased influence of prior choices on perceptual decisions in autism

    Helen Feigin, Shir Shalom-Sperber ... Adam Zaidel
    Perceptual decisions are influenced by preceding choices to a larger extent in individuals with autism spectrum disorder, such that they demonstrate a greater consistency bias.

    Cortex cis-regulatory switches establish scale colour identity and pattern diversity in Heliconius

    Luca Livraghi, Joseph J Hanly ... Chris D Jiggins
    The evolution of a butterfly mimetic phenotype is driven by modular cis-regulstory switches controlling a ‘hotspot’ gene.
