A novel, inexpensive, easy-to-use method to analyse traffic along the endosomal pathway in mammalian cells shows that there is coordination between Rab conversion and acidification, but almost none between Rab conversion and recycling.
Combined experimental and theoretical analysis identifies a molecular mechanism akin to working memory that enables single cells to perform complex navigation tasks in changing growth factor fields, beyond simple stimulus-response associations.

Biochemical fractionation of vesicle sub-populations and in vitro reconstitution studies reveal that Lupus La protein mediates the selective sorting of miR-122 into extracellular vesicles in vitro and in vivo.

Large-scale modeling of the mouse brain revealed that working memory is modular and determined by long-range cell type-specific connections, thereby providing a framework to interpret brain-wide recordings during cognition.

A cell-free reaction that reconstitutes the selective sorting of a miRNA into exosomes reveals an RNA-binding protein, YBX1, as a critical sorting factor.

Single-cell analysis of the chloroplast redox response to high light and oxidative stress revealed light-dependent heterogeneity, and was linked to cell fate determination within isogenic diatom populations.
The genome sequence of Trichoplusia ni enables the use of this widespread lepidopteran pest as a model for both the study of small RNA pathways and insecticide resistance.
