    A role for CIM6P/IGF2 receptor in memory consolidation and enhancement

    Xiao-Wen Yu, Kiran Pandey ... Cristina M Alberini
    Cation-independent-mannose-6-phosphate-receptor, or insulin-like-growth-factor-2-receptor (CIM6P/IGF2R) expressed in the hippocampus controls the protein metabolism regulated by learning and required for memory consolidation, and is also a key mechanism for memory enhancement.

    Control of brown adipose tissue adaptation to nutrient stress by the activin receptor ALK7

    Patricia Marmol, Favio Krapacher, Carlos F Ibáñez
    The activin receptor ALK7 regulates the adaptation of brown adipose tissue to nutrient availability by preventing over-activation of signaling pathways induced by fasting, allowing appropriate response to cold exposure.

    Protein phosphatase 1 activity controls a balance between collective and single cell modes of migration

    Yujun Chen, Nirupama Kotian ... Jocelyn A McDonald
    Protein phosphatase 1 activity promotes cohesive collective cell migration by restricting actomyosin contractility to the periphery of the collective and maintaining proper cadherin–catenin complex protein levels at cell–cell junctions.

    Cortical excitability controls the strength of mental imagery

    Rebecca Keogh, Johanna Bergmann, Joel Pearson
    Visual and prefrontal cortex excitability predict individual differences in visual imagery strength, and modulating excitability in these cortical regions causally alters the strength of visual imagery.

    Controlling gene activation by enhancers through a drug-inducible topological insulator

    Taro Tsujimura, Osamu Takase ... Keiichi Hishikawa
    A novel synthetic DNA cassette of CTCF-binding sites combined with the drug-controllable induction system of heterochromatin enabled switchable blocking of chromatin conformation and gene-enhancer interaction.

    Synergistic and antagonistic drug interactions in the treatment of systemic fungal infections

    Morgan A Wambaugh, Steven T Denham ... Jessica CS Brown
    Identification and exploitation of interactions between the antifungal drug fluconazole and FDA- approved drugs has the potential to improve treatment for patients with difficult-to-treat systemic fungal infections.

    mRNA decapping is an evolutionarily conserved modulator of neuroendocrine signaling that controls development and ageing

    Fivos Borbolis, John Rallis ... Popi Syntichaki
    mRNA decapping function in neuronal cells regulates neurosecretion and intertissue signaling, affecting developmental and ageing processes in two model organisms.

    The antibiotic bedaquiline activates host macrophage innate immune resistance to bacterial infection

    Alexandre Giraud-Gatineau, Juan Manuel Coya ... Ludovic Tailleux
    The anti-tuberculosis drug bedaquiline reprograms human macrophages into potent bactericidal phagocytes, which are able to control bacterial infection.

    Slo2 potassium channel function depends on RNA editing-regulated expression of a SCYL1 protein

    Long-Gang Niu, Ping Liu ... Bojun Chen
    The pseudokinase protein SCYL1 is an evolutionarily conserved enhancer of Slo2 potassium channel activity.

    An H3K9 methylation-dependent protein interaction regulates the non-enzymatic functions of a putative histone demethylase

    Gulzhan Raiymbek, Sojin An ... Kaushik Ragunathan
    A putative histone demethylase in fission yeast has non-enzymatic properties that regulates heterochromatin assembly and epigenetic inheritance.
