    Gene editing and scalable functional genomic screening in Leishmania species using the CRISPR/Cas9 cytosine base editor toolbox LeishBASEedit

    Markus Engstler, Tom Beneke
    LeishBASEedit enables gene editing in Leishmania without requiring DNA double-strand breaks, homologous recombination, or donor DNA, thereby facilitating loss-of-function screens via delivery of plasmid libraries and regardless of limitations due to gene copy number variations and/or lack of RNAi components.

    pYtags enable spatiotemporal measurements of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in living cells

    Payam E Farahani, Xiaoyu Yang ... Jared E Toettcher
    pYtags are novel biosensors that can be used to measure the activity of a receptor tyrosine kinase of interest in live cells with high spatiotemporal resolution and are applied to reveal rapid activity dynamics of EGFR/ErbB2 signaling.

    Rapid and precise genome engineering in a naturally short-lived vertebrate

    Claire N Bedbrook, Ravi D Nath ... Anne Brunet
    Rapid and efficient CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-in of fluorescent reporters at various genomic loci enables cell- and tissue-specific expression and establishes the short-lived African killifish as a vertebrate system for precise genetic engineering at scale.

    MHC class I and MHC class II reporter mice enable analysis of immune oligodendroglia in mouse models of multiple sclerosis

    Em P Harrington, Riley B Catenacci ... Peter A Calabresi
    Oligodendroglia express major histocompatibility complex (MHC) pathways in response to inflammation and MHC reporter mice allow for the investigation of MHC molecule expressing cells in vivo.

    Local generation and efficient evaluation of numerous drug combinations in a single sample

    Vlad Elgart, Joseph Loscalzo
    Engineered local heterogeneity in drug concentration is used as a tool to encode drug treatment regimens and to predict the macroscopic cellular response to drug perturbations.

    Enhanced functional detection of synaptic calcium-permeable AMPA receptors using intracellular NASPM

    Ian Coombs, Cécile Bats ... Mark Farrant
    Intracellular NASPM, unlike the widely used spermine, fully blocks outward currents through calcium-permeable AMPA-type glutamate receptors, enabling an improved functional readout for this physiologically important receptor subtype in neurons.

    Spike-phase coupling patterns reveal laminar identity in primate cortex

    Zachary W Davis, Nicholas M Dotson ... John H Reynolds
    By examining the relationship between spike timing and the phase of the LFP across cortical layers, researchers can use a stereotyped phase-coupling pattern as a diagnostic marker for electrode depth when other methods of electrode placement are ambiguous.

    Improved T cell receptor antigen pairing through data-driven filtering of sequencing information from single cells

    Helle Rus Povlsen, Amalie Kai Bentzen ... Morten Nielsen
    A bioinformatics approach shows how to reduce noise in single-cell TCR-pMHC specificity data while retaining sensitivity toward cross-binding events to facilitate investigation of the rules governing TCR-pMHC binding.

    Autofluorescence imaging permits label-free cell type assignment and reveals the dynamic formation of airway secretory cell associated antigen passages (SAPs)

    Viral S Shah, Jue Hou ... Jayaraj Rajagopal
    Autofluorescence imaging permits label-free cell type identification in live airway tissue and reveals the dynamic formation of airway secretory cell associated antigen passages.

    Rapid cell type-specific nascent proteome labeling in Drosophila

    Stefanny Villalobos-Cantor, Ruth M Barrett ... Ian Martin
    Newly-synthesized protein can be labeled with cellular specificity in Drosophila brain using the puromycin analog PhAc-OPP coupled to expression of the unblocking enzyme PGA in a tissue or cell type of interest.
