    Degradation of LMO2 in T cell leukaemia results in collateral breakdown of transcription complex partners and causes LMO2-dependent apoptosis

    Naphannop Sereesongsaeng, Carole Bataille ... Terence Rabbitts
    Antibody surrogate degraders of LMO2 indicate that transcription complexes are susceptible to drug discovery and are therefore druggable.

    Range geography and temperature variability explain cross-continental convergence in range and phenology shifts in a model insect taxon

    Catherine Sirois-Delisle, Susan CC Gordon, Jeremy Kerr
    Across continents, half of odonate species shifted both ranges and phenologies in response to climate warming, with southern species and those experiencing less temperature variability shifting ranges more strongly.

    Spatially defined multicellular functional units in colorectal cancer revealed from single cell and spatial transcriptomics

    Inbal Avraham-Davidi, Simon Mages ... Aviv Regev
    An integrative analysis of scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics provides complementary views into the biology of pre-clinical colorectal cancer models in mice with possible applications to the human system.

    Separating the control of moving and holding in human post-stroke arm paresis

    Alkis M Hadjiosif, Kahori Kita ... John W Krakauer
    Patients with stroke often show impairment in both moving and holding the arm, deficits that are dissociable experimentally, suggesting that moving and holding are controlled by separate neural mechanisms.

    General trends in the calnexin-dependent expression and pharmacological rescue of clinical CFTR variants

    Austin Tedman, John A Olson ... Jonathan P Schlebach
    Combining deep mutational scanning with CRISPR, interactome measurements, and electrophysiology reveals nuanced effects of the lectin chaperone calnexin on the pharmacological properties of 232 cystic fibrosis variants.

    Advantageous and disadvantageous inequality aversion can be taught through learning of others’ preferences

    Shen Zhang, Oriel FeldmanHall ... A Ross Otto
    Like disadvantageous inequity aversion, advantageous inequity aversion can be learned by observing another’s fairness preferences.

    The oocyte zinc transporter Slc39a10/Zip10 is a regulator of zinc sparks during fertilization in mice

    Atsuko Kageyama, Narumi Ogonuki ... Junya Ito
    The zinc transporter Slc39a10/Zip10 is important for zinc homeostasis during fertilization and embryonic development in mice.

    A single-cell transcriptomic atlas reveals resident dendritic-like cells in the zebrafish brain parenchyma

    Mireia Rovira, Giuliano Ferrero ... Valerie Wittamer
    The zebrafish brain combines a conserved heterogeneity of immune cells with a unique dendritic cell-like population.

    Functional analysis across model systems implicates ribosomal proteins in growth and proliferation defects associated with hypoplastic left heart syndrome

    Tanja Nielsen, Anaïs Kervadec ... Alexandre R Colas
    Cross-species functional genomics identify ribosomal protein genes as key regulators of cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart development, implicating them as candidate modifiers for HLHS and revealing new avenues for therapeutic discovery.
