    Cortical tau deposition follows patterns of entorhinal functional connectivity in aging

    Jenna N Adams, Anne Maass ... William J Jagust
    Tau deposition in the aging brain follows patterns of functional connectivity that correspond to specific neural memory networks, and this relationship is strengthened in the presence of amyloid-β.

    Human perivascular stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles mediate bone repair

    Jiajia Xu, Yiyun Wang ... Aaron Watkins James
    Perivascular extracellular vesicles induce bone repair, and do so via tetraspanin binding to recipient skeletal progenitor cells.

    A new class of disordered elements controls DNA replication through initiator self-assembly

    Matthew W Parker, Maren Bell ... James M Berger
    DNA replication initiation proteins contain a disordered domain that impacts each stage of their function, from chromatin recruitment and initiator co-assembly to the subsequent displacement of the factors from chromatin.

    Viral miRNA adaptor differentially recruits miRNAs to target mRNAs through alternative base-pairing

    Carlos Gorbea, Tim Mosbruger ... Demián Cazalla
    iRICC, a new method to identify RNA-RNA interactions in vivo, provides mechanistic insight into the function of a viral non-coding RNA.

    Calcium-driven regulation of voltage-sensing domains in BK channels

    Yenisleidy Lorenzo-Ceballos, Willy Carrasquel-Ursulaez ... Ramon Latorre
    Gating currents analysis at different Ca2+ concentrations of BK channels reveals a strong allosteric coupling between Ca2+- and voltage-sensing modules via equivalent contributions exerted by the RCK1 and RCK2 Ca2+-sites.

    Mitochondria supply ATP to the ER through a mechanism antagonized by cytosolic Ca2+

    Jing Yong, Helmut Bischof ... Randal J Kaufman
    ATP enters the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen through an SLC35B1/AXER-dependentCaATiER mechanism, and ATP usage in the ER renders 'anti-Warburg' effect by increasing ATP regeneration from OxPhos while decreasing glycolysis.

    Neurexophilin4 is a selectively expressed α-neurexin ligand that modulates specific cerebellar synapses and motor functions

    Xiangling Meng, Christopher M McGraw ... Huda Y Zoghbi
    A combination of mouse genetics and biochemistry approaches reveals neurexophilin4 (Nxph4) as a context-specific α-neurexin ligand, which regulates Golgi-granule cell inhibitory synapses and motor functions.

    Neural stem cell temporal patterning and brain tumour growth rely on oxidative phosphorylation

    Jelle van den Ameele, Andrea H Brand
    Mitochondrial dysfunction in neural stem cells and brain tumour cells decreases proliferation and affects the generation of neuronal diversity and tumour heterogeneity.

    Cryo-EM analyses reveal the common mechanism and diversification in the activation of RET by different ligands

    Jie Li, Guijun Shang ... Xiao-chen Bai
    Cryo-EM studies reveal structural basis for the activation, auto-inhibition and regulation of RET receptor tyrosine kinase.

    A de novo evolved gene in the house mouse regulates female pregnancy cycles

    Chen Xie, Cemalettin Bekpen ... Diethard Tautz
    A female specifically expressed new protein-coding gene that has emerged out of non-coding sequences without detectable signatures of adaptive evolution affects female pregnancy cycles.
