    Dissociation of impulsive traits by subthalamic metabotropic glutamate receptor 4

    Lukasz Piszczek, Andreea Constantinescu ... Wulf Haubensak
    Metabotropic glutamate receptors modulate impulse control by the subthalamic nucleus, dissociating trait impulsivity from basal ganglia motor function.

    Anti-fibrotic activity of a rho-kinase inhibitor restores outflow function and intraocular pressure homeostasis

    Guorong Li, Chanyoung Lee ... W Daniel Stamer
    An FDA-approved, rho-associated kinase inhibitor reverses fibrosis in the conventional outflow pathway of a mouse model of glaucoma and reverses ocular hypertension in patients with steroid glaucoma.

    Activation of a nucleotide-dependent RCK domain requires binding of a cation cofactor to a conserved site

    Celso M Teixeira-Duarte, Fátima Fonseca, João H Morais-Cabral
    Cations are essential cofactors in the ATP activation mechanism of the KtrAB cation channel and appear to be cofactors of many other nucleotide-dependent RCK domains.

    High N-glycan multiplicity is critical for neuronal adhesion and sensitizes the developing cerebellum to N-glycosylation defect

    Daniel Medina-Cano, Ekin Ucuncu ... Vincent Cantagrel
    Impairment of protein N-glycosylation disrupts neural cell adhesion mediated by highly glycosylated members of the IgSF-CAM protein family.

    HUWE1 controls tristetraprolin proteasomal degradation by regulating its phosphorylation

    Sara Scinicariello, Adrian Soderholm ... Gijs A Versteeg
    HUWE1 indirectly mediates the return to cellular homeostasis after pro-inflammatory responses, which it does by controling the stability of the immune suppressor tristetraprolin.

    Motility precedes egress of malaria parasites from oocysts

    Dennis Klug, Friedrich Frischknecht
    A surface protein triggers intra-oocyst motility of Plasmodium sporozoites to ensure parasite egress from oocysts.

    Monoallelic CRMP1 gene variants cause neurodevelopmental disorder

    Ethiraj Ravindran, Nobuto Arashiki ... Angela M Kaindl
    Genetic finding of pathogenic CRMP1 variants in three unrelated individuals with neurodevelopmental disorder, supported by structural simulation, biochemical and proof-of-principle data highlights the key role of CRMP1 in the development and functioning of the nervous system in humans.

    Correction of amblyopia in cats and mice after the critical period

    Ming-fai Fong, Kevin R Duffy ... Mark F Bear
    Visual impairment caused by monocular deprivation early in life can be reversed rapidly at older ages by temporarily blocking all activity in the non-deprived eye.
    1. Chromosomes and Gene Expression

    The RNA helicase UPF1 associates with mRNAs co-transcriptionally and is required for the release of mRNAs from gene loci

    Anand K Singh, Subhendu Roy Choudhury ... Saverio Brogna
    UPF1 associates with nascent transcripts and plays a broad role in nuclear processes of gene expression.

    A coordinated transcriptional switching network mediates antigenic variation of human malaria parasites

    Xu Zhang, Francesca Florini ... Kirk W Deitsch
    Malaria parasites avoid destruction by their host's immune response through systematic and coordinated expression switching between members of a network of variant antigen-encoding genes, a process that is mediated by a uniquely conserved gene called var2csa.
