    A human ESC-based screen identifies a role for the translated lncRNA LINC00261 in pancreatic endocrine differentiation

    Bjoern Gaertner, Sebastiaan van Heesch ... Maike Sander
    Ribosome profiling and loss-of-function during human ESC pancreatic differentiation reveal abundant lncRNA translation and an essential role for translated LINC00261 in beta cell differentiation, likely through a trans-regulatory, microprotein-independent mechanism.

    Male-predominant galanin mediates androgen-dependent aggressive chases in medaka

    Junpei Yamashita, Akio Takeuchi ... Kataaki Okubo
    In medaka fish, galanin-expressing neurons in the medial preoptic area occur nearly exclusively in males and mediate androgen-dependent male–male aggressive chases.

    The head direction circuit of two insect species

    Ioannis Pisokas, Stanley Heinze, Barbara Webb
    Two evolutionary distant insect species share a common head direction circuit with subtle differences in neuronal morphologies that result in distinct circuit dynamics adapted to each species’ ecology.

    Structure and mechanism of the Mrp complex, an ancient cation/proton antiporter

    Julia Steiner, Leonid Sazanov
    Structure of the Mrp antiporter, an ancestor of respiratory complex I, suggests a mechanism of coupling between cation and proton translocation, applicable to a large family of related membrane proteins.

    Caterpillar-induced rice volatiles provide enemy-free space for the offspring of the brown planthopper

    Xiaoyun Hu, Shuangli Su ... Ted CJ Turlings
    The brown planthopper has evolved a highly adaptive oviposition strategy by exploiting caterpillar-induced plant volatiles that provide safe havens for its offspring.
