    Anterior CNS expansion driven by brain transcription factors

    Jesús Rodriguez Curt, Behzad Yaghmaeian Salmani, Stefan Thor
    The expansion of the anterior Drosophila CNS is driven by increased progenitor generation and prolonged proliferation, mediated by brain-restricted genes and the PRC2.

    An explanation for origin unwinding in eukaryotes

    Lance D Langston, Michael E O'Donnell
    CMG helicase translocates with force while encircling duplex DNA, enabling two opposing CMG complexes at an origin to melt the duplex and switch to encircling separate single strands.

    Active information maintenance in working memory by a sensory cortex

    Xiaoxing Zhang, Wenjun Yan ... Chengyu T Li
    Delay-period activity of anterior piriform cortex is important for working memory tasks requiring active maintenance and encodes the maintained information.

    Proteome-wide signatures of function in highly diverged intrinsically disordered regions

    Taraneh Zarin, Bob Strome ... Alan M Moses
    Widespread, rapidly evolving disordered regions contain molecular features that are preserved over evolution and are associated with specific biological functions.

    Fetal and trophoblast PI3K p110α have distinct roles in regulating resource supply to the growing fetus in mice

    Jorge López-Tello, Vicente Pérez-García ... Amanda N Sferruzzi-Perri
    Fetus and trophoblast interplay to regulate fetal nutrient supply and, ultimately, affect healthy growth.

    Algal-fungal symbiosis leads to photosynthetic mycelium

    Zhi-Yan Du, Krzysztof Zienkiewicz ... Gregory M Bonito
    The capacity for symbiosis between photosynthetic microalgae and early diverging lineages fungi was demonstrated with microscopy and stable isotope exchange of carbon and nitrogen.

    The microbiota protects from viral-induced neurologic damage through microglia-intrinsic TLR signaling

    D Garrett Brown, Raymond Soto ... June L Round
    Immune stimulation from the microbiota prevents neurological damage associated with viral infection of the central nervous system.

    Expression of WIPI2B counteracts age-related decline in autophagosome biogenesis in neurons

    Andrea KH Stavoe, Pallavi P Gopal ... Erika LF Holzbaur
    The dynamic phosphorylation of autophagy component WIPI2B is critical to maintain autophagosome biogenesis in neurons, and ectopic expression of WIPI2B can restore rates of autophagosome biogenesis in aged neurons.

    The transcription factor Hey and nuclear lamins specify and maintain cell identity

    Naama Flint Brodsly, Eliya Bitman-Lotan ... Amir Orian
    Hey together with LaminC continuously supervise nuclear organisation and differentiated enterocyte identity, a regulation that is lost upon ageing, resulting in loss of gut homeostasis.

    Cryo-EM of dynein microtubule-binding domains shows how an axonemal dynein distorts the microtubule

    Samuel E Lacey, Shaoda He ... Andrew P Carter
    Relion was used to solve structures of microtubules decorated with dynein microtubule-binding domains revealing that an axonemal dynein distorts the microtubule cross-sectional curvature.
