    Apolipoprotein L-1 renal risk variants form active channels at the plasma membrane driving cytotoxicity

    Joseph A Giovinazzo, Russell P Thomson ... Ryan Schreiner
    Cytotoxicity associated with APOL1 renal-risk variants occurs through its plasma-membrane localization, where aberrant channel activity drives a sustained sodium and calcium influx leading to cell swelling and eventually cell death.

    Remyelination alters the pattern of myelin in the cerebral cortex

    Jennifer Orthmann-Murphy, Cody L Call ... Dwight E Bergles
    Regeneration of oligodendrocytes in the cerebral cortex results in reorganization of the pattern of myelination, potentially impacting information processing within cortical networks in diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

    Spatial inter-centromeric interactions facilitated the emergence of evolutionary new centromeres

    Krishnendu Guin, Yao Chen ... Kaustuv Sanyal
    Proximity and homology guided inter-chromosomal translocations drive karyotype evolution.

    Signaling diversity enabled by Rap1-regulated plasma membrane ERK with distinct temporal dynamics

    Jeremiah Keyes, Ambhighainath Ganesan ... Jin Zhang
    An individual extracellular signal regulates multiple cellular actions through differences in the temporal dynamics of spatially distinct populations of the central signaling enzyme, extracellular-signal regulated kinase.

    Insights into herpesvirus assembly from the structure of the pUL7:pUL51 complex

    Benjamin G Butt, Danielle J Owen ... Stephen C Graham
    A conserved viral protein complex that promotes membrane wrapping of nascent herpesvirus particles shows structural similarity to cellular membrane-remodelling proteins, suggesting functional mimicry.

    FRET kinase sensor development reveals SnRK2/OST1 activation by ABA but not by MeJA and high CO2 during stomatal closure

    Li Zhang, Yohei Takahashi ... Julian I Schroeder
    Development of a real-time SnRK2 kinase FRET reporter reveals rapid SnRK2 activation by ABA, but not by Methyl-Jasmonate or elevated CO2, while directly demonstrating basal SnRK2 activity in guard cells.

    Integrative analysis of large-scale loss-of-function screens identifies robust cancer-associated genetic interactions

    Christopher J Lord, Niall Quinn, Colm J Ryan
    Computational approach to identify reproducible genetic interactions in cancer reveals that they are enriched among protein–protein interaction pairs.

    Pupil diameter encodes the idiosyncratic, cognitive complexity of belief updating

    Alexandre LS Filipowicz, Christopher M Glaze ... Joshua I Gold
    Pupil-linked arousal dynamics are influenced more strongly by high-level internal belief states than by low-level sensory events during decision-making.

    Epigenetic inheritance of circadian period in clonal cells

    Yan Li, Yongli Shan ... Joseph S Takahashi
    Global changes in gene expression associated with differential DNA methylation underlie epigenetic inheritance of circadian periodicity in cells.

    KRAB-zinc finger protein gene expansion in response to active retrotransposons in the murine lineage

    Gernot Wolf, Alberto de Iaco ... Todd S Macfarlan
    Unbiased ChIP-seq screens and genetic knockouts of large Kruppel associated box zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP) clusters reveal that evolutionarily young KRAB-ZFPs play a redundant role in retrotransposon restriction in mice.
