    Fixation can change the appearance of phase separation in living cells

    Shawn Irgen-Gioro, Shawn Yoshida ... Shasha Chong
    Different fixation protocols can both enhance and diminish the appearance of liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) droplets presenting a caveat in using fixed-cell imaging to diagnose LLPS.

    Resting-state alterations in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia are related to the distribution of monoamine and GABA neurotransmitter systems

    Lisa Hahn, Simon B Eickhoff ... Matthias L Schroeter
    Local brain functional activity reductions in bvFTD follow the distribution of serotonergic, GABAergic, and norepinephrinergic neurotransmitter systems, indicating a selective vulnerability and providing novel insights into the underlying disease mechanisms.

    Reproducibility in Cancer Biology: Challenges for assessing replicability in preclinical cancer biology

    Timothy M Errington, Alexandria Denis ... Brian A Nosek
    A project to repeat experiments from high-impact papers in cancer biology encountered a series of challenges, many of which were caused by a lack of detail in the original papers.

    Renal medullary carcinomas depend upon SMARCB1 loss and are sensitive to proteasome inhibition

    Andrew L Hong, Yuen-Yi Tseng ... William C Hahn
    Faithful models of RMC require SMARCB1 loss for survival, and genetic and small-molecule screens identify inhibition of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) as a potential therapeutic approach for SMARCB1 deficient cancers.

    Somatic mutations in early metazoan genes disrupt regulatory links between unicellular and multicellular genes in cancer

    Anna S Trigos, Richard B Pearson ... David L Goode
    Cancer is a consequence of the release of basal cellular functions inherited from our unicellular ancestors from the control of regulatory networks that evolved during the emergence of multicellularity.

    Differential susceptibility of male and female germ cells to glucocorticoid-mediated signaling

    Steven A Cincotta, Nainoa Richardson ... Diana J Laird
    Although developing oocytes and sperm of mice both harbor the glucocorticoid receptor, fetal oocytes are resistant to differing levels of gluocorcorticoid stress hormones, while spermatogonia alter RNA splicing.

    Evidence linking APOBEC3B genesis and evolution of innate immune antagonism by gamma-herpesvirus ribonucleotide reductases

    Sofia N Moraes, Jordan T Becker ... Reuben S Harris
    The birth of the antiviral gene APOBEC3B in ancient primates is linked to the evolution of a potent counterdefense by herpesviruses, a host-pathogen interaction maintained to present day.

    The genetic basis for ecological adaptation of the Atlantic herring revealed by genome sequencing

    Alvaro Martinez Barrio, Sangeet Lamichhaney ... Leif Andersson
    Whole genome sequencing of 19 populations of Atlantic and Baltic herring reveals hundreds of individual loci underlying adaptation to a low salinity niche or timing of reproduction.
