    Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor influences periarticular joint inflammation in Borrelia burgdorferi-infected mice

    Qian Yu, Xiaotian Tang ... Erol Fikrig
    Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor suppresses Borrelia burgdorferi infection-induced periarticular inflammation in mice by maintaining anti-protease–protease balance.

    Flower/FLWR-1 regulates neuronal activity via the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase to promote recycling of synaptic vesicles

    Marius Seidenthal, Jasmina Redzovic ... Alexander Gottschalk
    Caenorhabditis elegans FLWR-1/Flower is required for efficient synaptic vesicle recycling and does so through a functional and possibly direct physical interaction with the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase, MCA-3.

    MagIC-Cryo-EM, structural determination on magnetic beads for scarce macromolecules in heterogeneous samples

    Yasuhiro Arimura, Hide A Konishi, Hironori Funabiki
    A technique that enables single-particle cryo-EM analysis of targets on a magnetic bead and a particle curation method that helps structural classification of small particles has been developed.

    A novel SUN1-ALLAN complex coordinates segregation of the bipartite MTOC across the nuclear envelope during rapid closed mitosis in Plasmodium berghei

    Mohammad Zeeshan, Igor Blatov ... Rita Tewari
    The SUN1-ALLAN complex serves as a nuclear envelope–spanning tether that coordinates the segregation of a bipartite microtubule organising center (MTOC) during the unusual mitosis of Plasmodium.

    Perturbation-response analysis of in silico metabolic dynamics revealed hard-coded responsiveness in the cofactors and network sparsity

    Yusuke Himeoka, Chikara Furusawa
    A computational study reveals that the kinetic models of Escherichia coli metabolism show strong responsiveness to perturbations and that it originates from cofactor dynamics and network sparsity.

    ME3BP-7 is a targeted cytotoxic agent that rapidly kills pancreatic cancer cells expressing high levels of monocarboxylate transporter MCT1

    Jordina Rincon-Torroella, Marco Dal Molin ... Surojit Sur
    Monocarboxylate transporter 1 overexpressed pancreatic cancers can be therapeutically targeted with ME3BP-7, a promising new agent with unique mode of action.

    Sensitivity to visual features in inattentional blindness

    Makaela Nartker, Chaz Firestone ... Ian Phillips
    As a group, inattentionally blind participants can successfully report the location, color, and shape of stimuli they deny noticing, and exhibit a systematic bias to report not noticing.

    Crystal structure and catalytic mechanism of PL35 family glycosaminoglycan lyases with an ultrabroad substrate spectrum

    Lin Wei, Hai-Yan Cao ... Fuchuan Li
    The determination of GAGases structure facilitates the elucidation of the catalytic mechanism of PL35 family lyases and provides potential evidence for the hypothesis that GAG lyase evolved from alginate lyase.

    Structural and dynamic impacts of single-atom disruptions to guide RNA interactions within the recognition lobe of Geobacillus stearothermophilus Cas9

    Helen B Belato, Alexa L Knight ... George P Lisi
    Solution biophysics defines the influence of local dynamics and allosteric regulation on guide RNA binding affinity and DNA cleavage specificity in a thermophilic Cas9 from Geobacillus stearothermophilus.

    A memory model of rodent spatial navigation in which place cells are memories arranged in a grid and grid cells are non-spatial

    David E Huber
    It is proposed that place cells are arranged in a hexagonal grid for large surfaces devoid of landmarks, which produces grid cell receptive fields as an artifact of memory retrieval.
