    CXCR3-expressing myeloid cells recruited to the hypothalamus protect against diet-induced body mass gain and metabolic dysfunction

    Natalia Mendes, Ariane Zanesco ... Licio A Velloso
    A subset of myeloid cells expressing CXCR3 is recruited to the hypothalamus and protects against the metabolic abnormalities generated in diet-induced obesity.

    PKCδ is an activator of neuronal mitochondrial metabolism that mediates the spacing effect on memory consolidation

    Typhaine Comyn, Thomas Preat ... Pierre-Yves Plaçais
    In neurons of the Drosophila brain’s memory center, PKCδ relays a post-learning dopamine signal to mitochondria, boosting their metabolic activity and thereby unlocking long-term memory formation.

    Presynaptic Rac1 in the hippocampus selectively regulates working memory

    Jaebin Kim, Edwin Bustamante ... Scott H Soderling
    Presynaptic Rac1 inhibition in the hippocampus impairs spatial working memory, potentially by modulating the synaptic cytoskeleton and kinase-mediated phosphorylation of key synaptic vesicle proteins.

    Structural analysis of the dynamic ribosome-translocon complex

    Aaron JO Lewis, Frank Zhong ... Ramanujan S Hegde
    A combination of cryo-electron microscopy, structure prediction, and evolutionary analyses reveal several functional states of the dynamic protein translocation machinery at the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum.

    Inhibition of the serine protease HtrA1 by SerpinE2 suggests an extracellular proteolytic pathway in the control of neural crest migration

    Edgar M Pera, Josefine Nilsson-De Moura ... Ivana Milas
    An extracellular proteolytic pathway involving the serine protease HtrA1, its inhibitor SerpinE2, and the transmembrane proteoglycan Syndecan-4 control collective migration of neural crest cells in the developing embryo.

    Purine nucleosides replace cAMP in allosteric regulation of PKA in trypanosomatid pathogens

    Veronica Teresa Ober, George Boniface Githure ... Michael Boshart
    A minimal subset of two to three residues in cyclic nucleotide binding (CNB) domains controls nucleoside vs. cyclic nucleotide specificity, repurposing PKA of certain pathogens for novel nucleoside signaling pathways or sensing.

    Measures of genetic diversification in somatic tissues at bulk and single-cell resolution

    Marius E Moeller, Nathaniel V Mon Père ... Weini Huang
    Single-cell and bulk sequencing data are combined through theoretical modeling to reveal the number of tissue-specific stem cells, mutation, and proliferation rates under sampling.

    Genetic basis of Arabidopsis thaliana responses to infection by naïve and adapted isolates of turnip mosaic virus

    Anamarija Butkovic, Thomas James Ellis ... Santiago F Elena
    Arabidopsis lines were screened for resistance to TuMV, identifying a region on chromosome 2 linked to necrosis that includes an antiviral gene.

    The Na+ leak channel NALCN controls spontaneous activity and mediates synaptic modulation by α2-adrenergic receptors in auditory neurons

    Tenzin Ngodup, Tomohiko Irie ... Laurence O Trussell
    Noradrenergic receptors can control the spontaneous electrical firing of neurons by inhibiting a Na+ channel known as NALCN using a pathway shared by metabotropic GABA receptors.
