    A Drosophila screen identifies NKCC1 as a modifier of NGLY1 deficiency

    Dana M Talsness, Katie G Owings ... Clement Y Chow
    An ion transporter is hyperglycosylated and 50% less functional in NGLY1-deficient cells, potentially explaining several symptoms of NGLY1 deficiency such as lack of sweat and tears.

    Neurovascular coupling and bilateral connectivity during NREM and REM sleep

    Kevin L Turner, Kyle W Gheres ... Patrick J Drew
    Sleep-related hemodynamic signals are much larger than those in the awake brain, so it is crucial to monitor the arousal state during studies of spontaneous activity.

    Specific Neuroligin3–αNeurexin1 signaling regulates GABAergic synaptic function in mouse hippocampus

    Motokazu Uchigashima, Kohtarou Konno ... Kensuke Futai
    Trans-synaptic protein interactions are required for synapse specification and function, and the combination between neuroligin3 and αneurexin1 controls inhibitory synaptic function in a splice isoform- and interneuron-specific manner.

    Cellular birthdate predicts laminar and regional cholinergic projection topography in the forebrain

    Kathryn C Allaway, William Muñoz ... Gordon Fishell
    Cholinergic populations with distinct cellular birthdates innervate deep versus superficial layers of the cortex with exquisite specificity.

    Epidermal PAR-6 and PKC-3 are essential for larval development of C. elegans and organize non-centrosomal microtubules

    Victoria G Castiglioni, Helena R Pires ... Mike Boxem
    PAR-6 and PKC-3/aPKC are essential for postembryonic development of C. elegans and control the organization of non-centrosomal microtubule bundles in the epidermis, likely through recruitment of NOCA-1/Ninein.

    Subcellular sorting of neuregulins controls the assembly of excitatory-inhibitory cortical circuits

    David Exposito-Alonso, Catarina Osório ... Beatriz Rico
    Neuregulins control the integration of specific excitatory and inhibitory synapses through subcellular sorting.

    Hydrodynamics of sponge pumps and evolution of the sponge body plan

    Seyed Saeed Asadzadeh, Thomas Kiørboe ... Jens H Walther
    The architecture of flagellated chambers in sponge pumps is linked to that of body plan, supporting the current view that the sponge aquiferous system evolved from an open-type filtration system.

    The nucleus serves as the pacemaker for the cell cycle

    Oshri Afanzar, Garrison K Buss ... James E Ferrell Jr
    Just as the sinoatrial node acts as pacemaker for the heart, the nucleus acts as pacemaker for the Xenopus embryonic cell cycle.

    Does diversity beget diversity in microbiomes?

    Naïma Madi, Michiel Vos ... B Jesse Shapiro
    Microbiomediversity favors further diversity in a positive feedback that is strongest in lower-diversity biomes but which plateaus as niches are increasingly filled in higher-diversity biomes.

    Biochemical patterns of antibody polyreactivity revealed through a bioinformatics-based analysis of CDR loops

    Christopher T Boughter, Marta T Borowska ... Erin J Adams
    A new software developed for high-throughput antibody, T cell receptor, and MHC repertoire analysis uncovers neutrality of the binding interface and intramolecular crosstalk as distinguishing properties of polyreactive antibodies.
