    A motogenic GABAergic system of mononuclear phagocytes facilitates dissemination of coccidian parasites

    Amol K Bhandage, Gabriela C Olivera ... Antonio Barragan
    Intracellular parasites hijack a conserved GABAergic system of immune cells to promote dissemination.

    Genome-wide CRISPR screen identifies noncanonical NF-κB signaling as a regulator of density-dependent proliferation

    Maria Fomicheva, Ian G Macara
    TRAF3, a negative regulator of noncanonical NF-κB signaling, maintains epithelial cell quiescence at confluence, and its loss triggers upregulation of immunity genes and prevents entry into G0 at high cell density.

    The palmitoyl acyltransferase ZDHHC14 controls Kv1-family potassium channel clustering at the axon initial segment

    Shaun S Sanders, Luiselys M Hernandez ... Gareth M Thomas
    ZDHHC14 controls palmitoylation and axon initial segment targeting of PSD93 and Kv1-family potassium channels, events that are essential for normal neuronal excitability.

    High neural activity accelerates the decline of cognitive plasticity with age in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Qiaochu Li, Daniel-Cosmin Marcu ... Karl Emanuel Busch
    Chronic excitation of the Caenorhabditis elegans oxygen-sensing neurons alters calcium homeostasis to accelerate the decline of neural plasticity with age.

    Maternal cortisol is associated with neonatal amygdala microstructure and connectivity in a sexually dimorphic manner

    David Q Stoye, Manuel Blesa ... James P Boardman
    Prenatal stress is transmitted to infant development through cortisol, which imparts sex-specific effects on the development and connectivity of the amygdalae.

    Lipocalin-2 is an anorexigenic signal in primates

    Peristera-Ioanna Petropoulou, Ioanna Mosialou ... Stavroula Kousteni
    Lipocalin-2 is a strong predictor of hunger scores, reflects an anti-obesity response that is deregulated in severely obese subjects, and exerts an anorexigenic function with a conserved interspecies mechanism.

    Talin-activated vinculin interacts with branched actin networks to initiate bundles

    Rajaa Boujemaa-Paterski, Bruno Martins ... Ohad Medalia
    At adhesion sites, talin-activated vinculin promotes interactions with the actin network that initiates bundles.

    Structural rearrangement of amyloid-β upon inhibitor binding suppresses formation of Alzheimer’s disease related oligomers

    Tobias Lieblein, Rene Zangl ... Nina Morgner
    Monitoring the formation of two distinct arrangements in early amyloid-ß aggregation by mass spectrometry and ion mobility allows determination of the effect of potential drug candidates.

    The SSVEP tracks attention, not consciousness, during perceptual filling-in

    Matthew J Davidson, Will Mithen ... Naotsugu Tsuchiya
    The strength of frequency-tagged neural activity during perceptual filling anti-correlates with the contents of consciousness, yet positively correlates with a neural measure of attention, dissociating these often confounded brain processes.

    Large domain movements through the lipid bilayer mediate substrate release and inhibition of glutamate transporters

    Xiaoyu Wang, Olga Boudker
    Substrate releasing or inhibitor binding on the intracellular side of a glutamate transporter homologue require movements of the transport domain through the lipid membrane, which undergoes adaptive deformations.
