    Cytomegalovirus restricts ICOSL expression on antigen-presenting cells disabling T cell co-stimulation and contributing to immune evasion

    Guillem Angulo, Jelena Zeleznjak ... Ana Angulo
    ICOSL-dependent T-cell co-stimulation contributes to the host defense against herpesvirus infections, and accordingly, these pathogens have developed immune evasion mechanisms to interrupt the ICOSL:ICOS signaling pathway.

    Methotrexate attenuates vascular inflammation through an adenosine-microRNA-dependent pathway

    Dafeng Yang, Stefan Haemmig ... Mark W Feinberg
    Investigation into methotrexate's effects in the vascular endothelium reveals it exerts anti-inflammatory effects through a unique adenosine-adenosine receptor A3-SMAD3/4-miR-181b signaling axis with implications for controlling vascular inflammation.

    Malaria parasites use a soluble RhopH complex for erythrocyte invasion and an integral form for nutrient uptake

    Marc A Schureck, Joseph E Darling ... Sanjay A Desai
    A high-resolution structure reveals how the RhopH complex traffics within Plasmodium-infected human erythrocytes to serve divergent, essential functions.

    Drift and termination of spiral waves in optogenetically modified cardiac tissue at sub-threshold illumination

    Sayedeh Hussaini, Vishalini Venkatesan ... Stefan Luther
    Excitability gradients in heart tissue, imposed by structured sub-threshold optogenetic stimulation, induce drift and termination of spiral waves, thus providing an explanation for successful optogenetic defibrillation in small animal hearts.

    Achieving functional neuronal dendrite structure through sequential stochastic growth and retraction

    André Ferreira Castro, Lothar Baltruschat ... Hermann Cuntz
    An optimal wire and function trade-off emerges from noisy growth and stochastic retraction during Drosophila class I ventral posterior dendritic arborisation (c1vpda) dendrite development.

    Cold-induced hyperphagia requires AgRP neuron activation in mice

    Jennifer D Deem, Chelsea L Faber ... Gregory J Morton
    A combination of neuroscience approaches and indirect calorimetry demonstrate a physiological role for AgRP neurons in cold-induced hyperphagia and strongly suggest temperature is an important regulator of AgRP neuron activity.

    Epigenetic regulation of Wnt7b expression by the cis-acting long noncoding RNA Lnc-Rewind in muscle stem cells

    Andrea Cipriano, Martina Macino ... Monica Ballarino
    The epigenetic regulation of adult muscle stem cell fate by lnc-Rewind relies on the RNA-mediated recruitment of G9a methyltransferase on the Wnt7b genomic locus.

    A transcriptomic taxonomy of Drosophila circadian neurons around the clock

    Dingbang Ma, Dariusz Przybylski ... Michael Rosbash
    Drosophila clock neurons manifest remarkable heterogeneity, which might be generally true and help explain why Drosophila has a sophisticated behavioral repertoire despite a tiny brain of about 100,000 neurons.
