    Targeting plasmid-encoded proteins that contain immunoglobulin-like domains to combat antimicrobial resistance

    Alejandro Prieto, Luïsa Miró ... Antonio Juarez
    A novel strategy to combat antimicrobial resistance has been identified by using vaccines and nanobodies to target specific extracellular proteins located on multiresistant bacterial plasmids.

    circHIPK3 nucleates IGF2BP2 and functions as a competing endogenous RNA

    Trine Line Hauge Okholm, Andreas Bjerregaard Kamstrup ... Christian Kroun Damgaard
    A dysregulated circular RNA in bladder cancer controls oncogenic pathways by tethering specific RNA-binding proteins, which in turn inhibits their normal functions.

    The mechanism of mammalian proton-coupled peptide transporters

    Simon M Lichtinger, Joanne L Parker ... Philip C Biggin
    The manner in which protons control the conformational behaviour of mammalian peptide transporters is revealed through state-of-the-art molecular dynamics simulations supported by cell-based assays.
    1. Neuroscience

    Aberrant hippocampal Ca2+ microwaves following synapsin-dependent adeno-associated viral expression of Ca2+ indicators

    Nicola Masala, Manuel Mittag ... Tony Kelly
    Common adeno-associated viral transduction procedures induce artefactual spatially confined Ca2+ waves in the hippocampus.

    Optical mapping of ground reaction force dynamics in freely behaving Drosophila melanogaster larvae

    Jonathan H Booth, Andrew T Meek ... Malte C Gather
    A new optical approach reveals dynamics of ground reaction forces in Drosophila larvae and opens new avenues for studying the biomechanics of movement in small animals.

    Drosophila medulla neuroblast termination via apoptosis, differentiation, and gliogenic switch is scheduled by the depletion of the neuroepithelial stem cell pool

    Phuong-Khanh Nguyen, Louise Y Cheng
    The termination of medulla neuroblasts is specified by the depletion of the neuroepithelium and mediated by apoptosis, differentiation, and gliogenic switch.

    Speech and music recruit frequency-specific distributed and overlapping cortical networks

    Noémie te Rietmolen, Manuel R Mercier ... Daniele Schön
    The neural response to natural speech and music processing is mostly shared between the domains, with additional evidence for selectivity in distributed (i.e. not regional) and frequency-specific neural activity.

    Multi-omic analysis of bat versus human fibroblasts reveals altered central metabolism

    N Suhas Jagannathan, Javier Yu Peng Koh ... Lisa Tucker-Kellogg
    To investigate why bats are long-lived and cancer-resistant, multi-omic data from bat and human cells was analyzed using computational flux modeling, suggesting dysregulation of succinate-fumarate dynamics and an ischemic-like basal metabolism in bat cells.
