    Wnt3 distribution in the zebrafish brain is determined by expression, diffusion and multiple molecular interactions

    Sapthaswaran Veerapathiran, Cathleen Teh ... Thorsten Wohland
    Wnt3 accomplishes long-range distribution by extracellular diffusion controlled by expression, tissue morphology, interactions with heparan sulfate proteoglycans, and co-receptor-mediated receptor binding to regulate brain development in zebrafish embryos.

    Membrane fluidity is regulated by the C. elegans transmembrane protein FLD-1 and its human homologs TLCD1/2

    Mario Ruiz, Rakesh Bodhicharla ... Marc Pilon
    Inhibition of C. elegans FLD-1 or Human TLCD1/2 prevents saturated fat lipotoxicity by allowing increased levels of membrane phospholipids that contain fluidizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

    Probing the segregation of evoked and spontaneous neurotransmission via photobleaching and recovery of a fluorescent glutamate sensor

    Camille S Wang, Natali L Chanaday ... Ege T Kavalali
    Photobleaching and recovery of a fluorescent glutamate sensor enable demonstration of the distinct spatial architectures of spontaneous versus evoked forms of glutamatergic neurotransmission within single synapses.

    Quantitative theory for the diffusive dynamics of liquid condensates

    Lars Hubatsch, Louise M Jawerth ... Christoph A Weber
    Dynamical properties of liquid condensates can be quantitatively assessed by combining phase separation theory and photobleaching, which opens new avenues to understand their physicochemical properties and functioning.

    Reversing protonation of weakly basic drugs greatly enhances intracellular diffusion and decreases lysosomal sequestration

    Debabrata Dey, Shir Marciano ... Gideon Schreiber
    Poor intracellular availability and diffusion of weakly basic, small molecule drugs can be greatly enhanced by preventing ion trapping in crowded cellular environments.

    Single molecule imaging reveals a major role for diffusion in the exploration of ciliary space by signaling receptors

    Fan Ye, David K Breslow ... Maxence V Nachury
    Membrane receptor proteins move through primary cilia largely by passive diffusion rather than by active intraflagellar transport.

    Cellular interpretation of the long-range gradient of Four-jointed activity in the Drosophila wing

    Rosalind Hale, Amy L Brittle ... David Strutt
    Opposing gradients of Fat and Dachsous phosphorylation are sufficient to explain the observed pattern of Fat-Dachsous planar polarisation across the Drosophila wing.
    1. Cell Biology

    Symmetric exchange of multi-protein building blocks between stationary focal adhesions and the cytosol

    Jan-Erik Hoffmann, Yessica Fermin ... Eli Zamir
    In the cytosol, the proteins constituting cell-matrix adhesion sites form multi-protein building blocks which enter and leave these sites unaltered, thereby contributing to their rapid and correct self-assembly.

    Scc2/Nipbl hops between chromosomal cohesin rings after loading

    James Rhodes, Davide Mazza ... Stephan Uphoff
    The cohesin loading factor Scc2/Nipbl interacts frequently with cohesin after the loading reaction in a manner consistent with a role in stimulating loop extrusion.

    Activity-dependent mitochondrial ROS signaling regulates recruitment of glutamate receptors to synapses

    Rachel L Doser, Kaz M Knight ... Frederic J Hoerndli
    In response to neuronal activity in vivo, mitochondria in dendrites of excitatory neurons inhibit recruitment of ionotropic glutamate receptors through a reactive oxygen signaling mechanism.
