    Regulation of the Drosophila ID protein Extra macrochaetae by proneural dimerization partners

    Ke Li, Nicholas E Baker
    Developmental genetic and cell culture studies indicate that the Inhibitor of DNA-binding protein Extra macrochaetae (Emc), previously thought to determine where bHLH proteins can act, is itself regulated by those bHLH dimerization partners at the level of protein stability.

    Complementary cognitive roles for D2-MSNs and D1-MSNs during interval timing

    Robert A Bruce, Matthew Weber ... Kumar Narayanan
    Dorsomedial D2-MSNs and D1-MSNs exhibit opposing dynamics during interval timing, however disrupting either MSN type produces similar effects on behavior, highlighting the complementary roles of striatal pathways in cognitive operations.

    Distinct representation of cue-outcome association by D1 and D2 neurons in the ventral striatum’s olfactory tubercle

    Nuné Martiros, Vikrant Kapoor ... Venkatesh N Murthy
    Real-time imaging of neural activity in behaving mice reveals that the two canonical types of neurons in the olfactory tubercle carry distinct information about learned odor cues, with D1 neurons representing stimulus valence and D2 neurons mainly representing stimulus identity.

    Increasing adult-born neurons protects mice from epilepsy

    Swati Jain, John J LaFrancois ... Helen E Scharfman
    Increasing adult-born neurons in the dentate gyrus reduces neuronal loss and chronic seizures in female mice using a mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsy.

    BMP and FGF signaling interact to pattern mesoderm by controlling basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor activity

    Richard H Row, Amy Pegg ... Benjamin L Martin
    Interplay between FGF-induced bHLH transcription factors and BMP-induced bHLH inhibitory id genes govern mesodermal cell fate choice along the mediolateral axis in both zebrafish and mouse.

    Monoubiquitination by the human Fanconi anemia core complex clamps FANCI:FANCD2 on DNA in filamentous arrays

    Winnie Tan, Sylvie van Twest ... Andrew J Deans
    Biochemical reconstitution experiments uncover the ubiquitin-mediated function of a DNA repair protein, key to the understanding of Fanconi Anemia, a cancer-associated bone marrow failure syndrome.

    Ensemble cryoEM elucidates the mechanism of insulin capture and degradation by human insulin degrading enzyme

    Zhening Zhang, Wenguang G Liang ... Wei-Jen Tang
    Integrative structural analyses of human insulin degradingenzyme (IDE) reveal how IDE selectively degrades peptides that form toxicaggregates, which guides IDE-based therapeutic innovations to treat diabetesand Alzheimer's disease.

    Sensitivity of ID NOW and RT–PCR for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in an ambulatory population

    Yuan-Po Tu, Jameel Iqbal, Timothy O'Leary
    Although the ID NOW platform is less sensitive than RT–PCR for identification of SARS-CoV-2 infection, it provides high positive and negative predictive values in low-prevalence populations.

    Reactivation of a developmental Bmp2 signaling center is required for therapeutic control of the murine periosteal niche

    Valerie S Salazar, Luciane P Capelo ... Vicki Rosen
    A periosteal Bmp2 signaling center couples bone length to bone width during development and must be reactivated by clinical bone anabolic therapies to reduce fracture risk and accelerate fracture repair.

    Developing a multivariate prediction model of antibody features associated with protection of malaria-infected pregnant women from placental malaria

    Elizabeth H Aitken, Timon Damelang ... Stephen J Rogerson
    Machine learning identified six protective antibody features and showed for the first time that serological markers can predict protection from placental-malaria, which is important for evaluation and development of vaccines.
