    C-mannosylation supports folding and enhances stability of thrombospondin repeats

    Aleksandra Shcherbakova, Matthias Preller ... Hans Bakker
    C-mannosylation supports native folding of thrombospondin type 1 repeats in the endoplasmic reticulum and stabilizes the folded proteins by modulating the dynamics of the tryptophan-arginine ladder.

    Common activation mechanism of class A GPCRs

    Qingtong Zhou, Dehua Yang ... Suwen Zhao
    Contrary to previous findings, class A GPCRs share a common activation pathway that directly links ligand binding to G-protein activation, as revealed by novel quantitative analysis.

    Improved characterisation of MRSA transmission using within-host bacterial sequence diversity

    Matthew D Hall, Matthew TG Holden ... Christophe Fraser
    Reconstruction of transmission pathways of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus using multiple genomes per host reveals great variation in the size of the transmission bottleneck and limited evidence for body site/phylogeny association.

    Combinatorial chromatin dynamics foster accurate cardiopharyngeal fate choices

    Claudia Racioppi, Keira A Wiechecki, Lionel Christiaen
    ATAC-seq, CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis, reporter and gene expression assays revealed dynamic chromatin accessibility profiles governing differential gene expression during heart vs. pharyngeal muscle fate choices in the powerful chordate model Ciona.

    Nitric oxide acts as a cotransmitter in a subset of dopaminergic neurons to diversify memory dynamics

    Yoshinori Aso, Robert P Ray ... Gerald M Rubin
    The interplay of nitric oxide and dopamine specialize one memory unit in a fly brain in predicting the value of odors based only on recent experience.

    Single cell transcriptional signatures of the human placenta in term and preterm parturition

    Roger Pique-Regi, Roberto Romero ... Nardhy Gomez-Lopez
    Parturition gene regulation across multiple cell-types and placental compartments is deciphered at single cell resolution, highlighting the common role of the NFKB pathway in both term and preterm birth.

    Defining murine monocyte differentiation into colonic and ileal macrophages

    Mor Gross-Vered, Sébastien Trzebanski ... Steffen Jung
    Detailed analysis of the sequence of monocyte differentiation into distinct gut tissue macrophages provides insights into monocyte biology and can serve as a platform for the design of cell therapies.

    Primary cilia deficiency in neural crest cells models anterior segment dysgenesis in mouse

    Céline Portal, Panteleimos Rompolas ... Carlo Iomini
    Primary cilia of neural crest-derived cells mediate Indian hedgehog-induced signal transduction in the periocular mesenchyme and are required for normal anterior segment development.

    Vasohibin1, a new mouse cardiomyocyte IRES trans-acting factor that regulates translation in early hypoxia

    Fransky Hantelys, Anne-Claire Godet ... Anne-Catherine Prats
    In mouse cardiomyocytes, (lymph)angiogenic growth factors are induced during early hypoxia by a translational mechanism involving a new IRES trans-acting factor, vasohibin-1.
