    Whole-brain mapping of socially isolated zebrafish reveals that lonely fish are not loners

    Hande Tunbak, Mireya Vazquez-Prada ... Elena Dreosti
    Social isolation increases anti-social behaviour by altering activity in brain areas related to anxiety, stress, and reward.

    Strong isolation by distance and evidence of population microstructure reflect ongoing Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Zanzibar

    Sean V Connelly, Nicholas F Brazeau ... Jeffrey A Bailey
    Parasite migration between mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar and ongoing transmission clusters within Zanzibar highlight the need for continued preventive measures to reduce malaria transmission in the archipelago.

    Atg43 tethers isolation membranes to mitochondria to promote starvation-induced mitophagy in fission yeast

    Tomoyuki Fukuda, Yuki Ebi ... Tomotake Kanki
    Atg43 serves as a selective autophagy receptor by tethering isolation membranes to mitochondria to promote mitophagy and plays a mitophagy-independent role that facilitates normal cell growth in fission yeast.

    Improved isolation of extracellular vesicles by removal of both free proteins and lipoproteins

    Dmitry Ter-Ovanesyan, Tal Gilboa ... David R Walt
    A novel immunoassay for ApoB-100, the main protein component of lipoproteins, enables the development of methods to enrich extracellular vesicles from human plasma while depleting both lipoproteins and free proteins.

    Protein-lipid interaction at low pH induces oligomerization of the MakA cytotoxin from Vibrio cholerae

    Aftab Nadeem, Alexandra Berg ... Sun Nyunt Wai
    MakA, a pore-forming cytotoxin produced by Vibrio cholerae, forms oligomers and remodels membranes into high-curvature tubes, resulting in membrane integrity loss inside acidified organelle lumens or when cultured with cells in an acidic medium.

    High-dimensional analysis of intestinal immune cells during helminth infection

    Laura Ferrer-Font, Palak Mehta ... Johannes U Mayer
    A systematic optimization of intestinal digestion protocols allows for the isolation and high-dimensional flow cytometric analysis of intestinal immune cells during murine helminth infection.

    Oligomerization of p62 allows for selection of ubiquitinated cargo and isolation membrane during selective autophagy

    Bettina Wurzer, Gabriele Zaffagnini ... Sascha Martens
    Oligomerization of p62/SQSTM1 generates high avidity binding regions that enable it to spatially select for concentrated ubiquitin and ATG8-family proteins.

    Natural killer (NK) cell-derived extracellular-vesicle shuttled microRNAs control T cell responses

    Sara G Dosil, Sheila Lopez-Cobo ... Lola Fernandez-Messina
    Extracellular vesicles derived from natural killer cells contain a specific repertoire of microRNAs that promote Th1 responses.

    Self-organization of songbird neural sequences during social isolation

    Emily L Mackevicius, Shijie Gu ... Michale S Fee
    In juvenile songbirds, neural sequences pre-exist tutor exposure, and the process of learning a new song may make use of existing neural sequences as a stable substrate for new behavioral changes.

    Mitochondrial Rab GAPs govern autophagosome biogenesis during mitophagy

    Koji Yamano, Adam I Fogel ... Richard J Youle
    Two GAP proteins bound to mitochondria regulate the enyzme Rab7, and thereby the expansion of the isolation membrane during mitophagy, downstream of PINK1 and Parkin, two proteins that are mutated in familial Parkinson's disease.
