    Mechanisms underlying genome instability mediated by formation of foldback inversions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Bin-zhong Li, Christopher D Putnam, Richard David Kolodner
    Genetic analysis combined with whole genome sequencing elucidates mechanisms and pathways that form and prevent a specific class of genome rearrangements, foldback inversions, seen in many human cancers.

    Intrinsic control of neuronal diversity and synaptic specificity in a proprioceptive circuit

    Maggie M Shin, Catarina Catela, Jeremy Dasen
    Genetic and anatomical analyses of Hox gene function uncover a limb-independent program of sensory neuron fate specification and connectivity.

    Metabolic but not transcriptional regulation by PKM2 is important for natural killer cell responses

    Jessica F Walls, Jeff J Subleski ... David K Finlay
    Pharmacological activation of the metabolic activities of PKM2 in murine NK cells disrupts cellular redox balance and inhibits optimal NK cell effector functions.

    Antagonistic control of Caenorhabditis elegans germline stem cell proliferation and differentiation by PUF proteins FBF-1 and FBF-2

    Xiaobo Wang, Mary Ellenbecker ... Ekaterina Voronina
    Complementary effects of FBF-1 and FBF-2 on germline stem cell dynamics result from their distinct cooperation with mRNA deadenylase resulting in the opposite effects on the shared target mRNAs.

    CD163 and pAPN double-knockout pigs are resistant to PRRSV and TGEV and exhibit decreased susceptibility to PDCoV while maintaining normal production performance

    Kui Xu, Yanrong Zhou ... Kui Li
    The double-gene-knockout pig is a valuable model to help understand the mechanisms of CD163 and pAPN in the infection of multiple viruses and offers excellent breeding materials for disease-resistant pigs.

    mTOR signaling regulates the morphology and migration of outer radial glia in developing human cortex

    Madeline G Andrews, Lakshmi Subramanian, Arnold R Kriegstein
    mTOR signaling regulates the morphology of a human-enriched neural stem cell population and thus contributes to the radial architecture of the developing human cortex with implications for neurodevelopmental disease.

    What do adversarial images tell us about human vision?

    Marin Dujmović, Gaurav Malhotra, Jeffrey S Bowers
    Well-controlled psychological experiments show that there is little overlap in how humans and convolutional networks classify adversarial images, highlighting the problem of using CNNs as models of human vision.

    Cdon mutation and fetal alcohol converge on Nodal signaling in a mouse model of holoprosencephaly

    Mingi Hong, Annabel Christ ... Robert S Krauss
    A combination of window-of-sensitivity, genetic, and in vitro findings illuminate mechanisms of gene–environment interaction in a multifactorial model of a common birth defect.

    Hox-dependent coordination of mouse cardiac progenitor cell patterning and differentiation

    Sonia Stefanovic, Brigitte Laforest ... Stephane Zaffran
    Discovering that Hoxb1 acts as a repressor of cardiac differentiation on second heart field progenitor cells helps us to understand the etiology of congenital heart defects such as atrioventricular septal defects.

    A Sec14-like phosphatidylinositol transfer protein paralog defines a novel class of heme-binding proteins

    Danish Khan, Dongju Lee ... Vytas A Bankaitis
    A new class of fungal hemoproteins is described that emphasizes the versatility of the Sec14-fold for translating binding of chemically distinct ligands to control of diverse sets of cellular activities.
