    Computational prediction of CTCF/cohesin-based intra-TAD loops that insulate chromatin contacts and gene expression in mouse liver

    Bryan J Matthews, David J Waxman
    Certain types of 3D chromatin loops are easy to predict from existing or easily obtainable 2D information, which benefits gene expression studies in tissues/cells/organisms without extensive pre-existing 3D information.

    Temporospatial induction of homeodomain gene cut dictates natural lineage reprogramming

    Ke Xu, Xiaodan Liu ... Yan Song
    Spatial and temporal cues intersect, likely via enhancer-promoter looping, to turn on a master identity switch that in turn dictates natural lineage reprogramming with high efficiency and temporospatial precision.

    A novel Cep120-dependent mechanism inhibits centriole maturation in quiescent cells

    Ewelina Betleja, Rashmi Nanjundappa ... Moe R Mahjoub
    Cells have evolved a mechanism that actively regulates centriole maturation during quiescence.

    A SLC4 family bicarbonate transporter is critical for intracellular pH regulation and biomineralization in sea urchin embryos

    Marian Y Hu, Jia-Jiun Yan ... Meike Stumpp
    Cellular carbon accumulation systems are a fundamental prerequisite for biomineralization to stabilize pH and to supply inorganic carbon for CaCO3 precipitation under changing environmental conditions.

    Reduced expression of C/EBPβ-LIP extends health and lifespan in mice

    Christine Müller, Laura M Zidek ... Cornelis F Calkhoven
    Reduced expression of a single transcription factor is sufficient to improve fitness and health at old age and increases the lifespan in female mice.

    Targeted cortical reorganization using optogenetics in non-human primates

    Azadeh Yazdan-Shahmorad, Daniel B Silversmith ... Philip N Sabes
    Focal optogenetic stimulation strengthens functional connectivity between primary somatosensory and motor cortices in macaques, in a manner consistent with a Hebbian model of stimulus-driven plasticity.

    A surface proton antenna in carbonic anhydrase II supports lactate transport in cancer cells

    Sina Ibne Noor, Somayeh Jamali ... Holger M Becker
    Carbonic anhydrase II features a surface proton antenna that exclusively mediates proton exchange with monocarboxylate transporters to facilitate proton-coupled lactate transport in cancer cells.

    Biosynthetic tailoring of existing ascaroside pheromones alters their biological function in C. elegans

    Yue Zhou, Yuting Wang ... Rebecca A Butcher
    In response to starvation, C. elegans converts a favorable pheromone that induces aggregation to an unfavorable one that induces a stress-resistant larval stage, thereby altering its chemical message without having to synthesize new pheromones de novo.

    Downregulation of ribosome biogenesis during early forebrain development

    Kevin F Chau, Morgan L Shannon ... Maria K Lehtinen
    Unbiased transcriptome analyses reveal that neural progenitor cells downregulate protein biosynthetic machinery during early forebrain development, and this fundamental process matches proteomic changes in the adjacent cerebrospinal fluid and is regulated in part by MYC.

    Energy exchanges at contact events guide sensorimotor integration

    Ali Farshchian, Alessandra Sciutti ... Ferdinando A Mussa-Ivaldi
    The brain obtains and preserves a consistent temporal alignment of multisensory and motor information flowing along staggered streams by maintaining an invariant estimate across modalities of the energy exchanged with the environment at discrete events.
