    Elevated pyramidal cell firing orchestrates arteriolar vasoconstriction through COX-2-derived prostaglandin E2 signaling

    Benjamin Le Gac, Marine Tournissac ... Bruno Cauli
    Increased neuronal activity of cortical pyramidal cells can paradoxically reduce cerebral blood flow via vasoconstriction mediated by glutamate and lipid messengers.

    Simultaneous polyclonal antibody sequencing and epitope mapping by cryo electron microscopy and mass spectrometry

    Douwe Schulte, Marta Šiborová ... Joost Snijder
    Germline V-gene usage can be inferred from cryoEM reconstructions of antigen-antibody complexes to guide de novo antibody sequencing of complex mixtures by mass spectrometry.

    APP β-CTF triggers cell-autonomous synaptic toxicity independent of Aβ

    Mengxun Luo, Jia Zhou ... Yelin Chen
    β-CTF of APP, not Aβ, induces synaptic loss in a cell-autonomous manner, revealing APP misregulation may contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease via an Aβ-independent mechanism.

    TAK1-mediated phosphorylation of PLCE1 represses PIP2 hydrolysis to impede esophageal squamous cancer metastasis

    Qianqian Ju, Wenjing Sheng ... Cheng Sun
    TAK1 plays a negative role in esophageal squamous cancer cell metastasis, which depends on the TAK1-induced phosphorylation of PLCE1 at S1060 and subsequent inhibition of PIP2 hydrolysis.

    Teichoic acids in the periplasm and cell envelope of Streptococcus pneumoniae

    Mai Nguyen, Elda Bauda ... Cecile Morlot
    The thickness of the periplasmic region is reduced in strains of pneumococcus that are deleted in genes responsible for the incorporation of teichoic acid in the cell envelope.

    SFSWAP is a negative regulator of OGT intron detention and global pre-mRNA splicing

    Ashwin Govindan, Nicholas K Conrad
    SFSWAP was identified in a genetic screen to negatively regulate splicing of OGT and other mRNAs primarily by regulating intron retention and exon skipping.

    Modeling collective behavior in groups of mice housed under semi-naturalistic conditions

    Xiaowen Chen, Maciej Winiarksi ... Aleksandra M Walczak
    The social structure of interactions in freely behaving animals predicts the effects of perturbing the neural plasticity of one individual on group sociability.

    Auditory cortex learns to discriminate audiovisual cues through selective multisensory enhancement

    Song Chang, Beilin Zheng ... Liping Yu
    Experience-driven plasticity in auditory cortex neurons establishes cross-modal associations, enabling enhanced discrimination of multisensory cues through specialized integrative strategies.

    MicroRNA-26b protects against MASH development in mice and can be efficiently targeted with lipid nanoparticles

    Linsey Peters, Leonida Rakateli ... Emiel van der Vorst
    Lipid nanoparticles containing microRNA-26-mimics can reduce MASH in mice, providing a novel therapeutic approach.

    Pronounced expression of extracellular matrix proteoglycans regulated by Wnt pathway underlies the parallel evolution of lip hypertrophy in East African cichlids

    Nagatoshi Machii, Ryo Hatashima ... Masato Nikaido
    A shared molecular basis of proteoglycan accumulation, driven by Wnt signaling, underlies the parallel evolution of hypertrophied lips in East African cichlids.
