    DDR2 controls breast tumor stiffness and metastasis by regulating integrin mediated mechanotransduction in CAFs

    Samantha VH Bayer, Whitney R Grither ... Gregory D Longmore
    The action of the collagen receptor DDR2 in CAFs regulates Rap1-Talin1 mediated Integrin mechanotransduction in breast tumors to impact tumor stiffness and metastases.

    Multi-phosphorylation reaction and clustering tune Pom1 gradient mid-cell levels according to cell size

    Veneta Gerganova, Charlotte Floderer ... Sophie G Martin
    Advanced microscopy techniques reveal that clusters of Pom1 kinase at the membrane represent the functional unit that shape the concentration gradients and modulate Pom1 mid-cell levels according to cell size.

    Reconstruction of Par-dependent polarity in apolar cells reveals a dynamic process of cortical polarization

    Kalyn Kono, Shigeki Yoshiura ... Fumio Matsuzaki
    Par-complex-dependent cell polarity can be cell-autonomously conferred to non-polar Drosophila S2 cells, unveiling temporal patterns toward the cortical localization of Par-complex aggregates that include a meshwork containing unit segments.

    A four-DNA methylation biomarker is a superior predictor of survival of patients with cutaneous melanoma

    Wenna Guo, Liucun Zhu ... Jian-Qun Chen
    This four-DNA methylation signature demonstrates potential as a novel independent prognostic indicator for risk-stratifying patients with CM.

    Structural basis of phosphatidylcholine recognition by the C2–domain of cytosolic phospholipase A2α

    Yoshinori Hirano, Yong-Guang Gao ... Rhoderick E Brown
    The C2-domain of cytoplasmic phospholipase A2α is structurally designed to target PC-rich membrane regions to increase the enzymatic efficiency of the catalytic domain, which prefers PCs with polyunsaturated acyl chains.

    Functional and anatomical specificity in a higher olfactory centre

    Shahar Frechter, Alexander Shakeel Bates ... Gregory Jefferis
    The Drosophila lateral horn, a higher olfactory brain area, contains >165 genetically defined cell types with stereotyped odour responses across animals and improved odor categorisation compared with their inputs.

    Predominance of cis-regulatory changes in parallel expression divergence of sticklebacks

    Jukka-Pekka Verta, Felicity C Jones
    Cis-regulation such as enhancers and promoters plays a major role in parallel gene expression divergence and has features that make it a well-poised substrate for adaptive evolution.

    A combination of transcription factors mediates inducible interchromosomal contacts

    Seungsoo Kim, Maitreya J Dunham, Jay Shendure
    A pooled mutational scanning approach for 3D chromosome conformation reveals how multiple transcription factors can jointly specify condition-specific genome conformations.

    A multidisciplinary approach to a unique palaeolithic human ichnological record from Italy (Bàsura Cave)

    Marco Romano, Paolo Citton ... Marco Avanzini
    Traces of crawling locomotion, including children younger than 3 years old, are documented for the first time in the global human ichnological record.

    Mesolimbic dopamine projections mediate cue-motivated reward seeking but not reward retrieval in rats

    Briac Halbout, Andrew T Marshall ... Sean B Ostlund
    Inhibiting ventral tegmental dopamine neurons, or their inputs to nucleus accumbens, disrupts cue-motivated reward seeking in a manner that depends on the microstructure of behavior.
