    Broca’s area, variation and taxic diversity in early Homo from Koobi Fora (Kenya)

    Amélie Beaudet, Edwin de Jager
    A computer-assisted revision of a unique fossil from Kenya supports the hypothesis that the modern features of our brain emerged recently in the human evolutionary history.

    Structural, mechanistic, and physiological insights into phospholipase A-mediated membrane phospholipid degradation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Florian Bleffert, Joachim Granzin ... Filip Kovacic
    Membrane homeostasis in bacteria relies on the controlled degradation of endogenous phospholipids by intracellular phospholipases A, however their structures and catalytic mechanism are still poorly understood.

    Formation of multinucleated osteoclasts depends on an oxidized species of cell surface-associated La protein

    Evgenia Leikina, Jarred M Whitlock ... Leonid Chernomordik
    Molecular and biochemical approaches in primary human cells illustrate how a nuclear RNA-binding protein is shifted to the surface of osteoclasts – setting their size and biological activity.

    Differential axonal trafficking of Neuropeptide Y-, LAMP1-, and RAB7-tagged organelles in vivo

    Joris P Nassal, Fiona H Murphy ... Matthijs Verhage
    In vivo live imaging reveals the trafficking dynamics of three cellular organelles in neocortical axons with single vesicle resolution and demonstrates activity-dependent changes.

    An open cortico-basal ganglia loop allows limbic control over motor output via the nigrothalamic pathway

    Sho Aoki, Jared B Smith ... Xin Jin
    A novel connection from ventral striatum to motor cortex enables emotion and motivation to influence action and motor control.

    Fetal growth delay caused by loss of non-canonical imprinting is resolved late in pregnancy and culminates in offspring overgrowth

    Ruby Oberin, Sigrid Petautschnig ... Patrick S Western
    Growth-delayed offspring generated from eggs that lacked normal epigenetic programming exhibited a remarkable capacity to undergo late gestational fetal growth recovery, despite inefficient placental function.

    Transient rapamycin treatment can increase lifespan and healthspan in middle-aged mice

    Alessandro Bitto, Takashi K Ito ... Matt Kaeberlein
    Three months treatment with the drug rapamycin increases lifespan, alters cancer prevalence, remodels the microbiome, and improves functional measures of health in middle aged mice in a dose- and sex-dependent manner.

    A complex peripheral code for salt taste in Drosophila

    Alexandria H Jaeger, Molly Stanley ... Michael D Gordon
    Unlike other taste modalities, the Drosophila taste system encodes salt taste combinatorially across multiple sensory neuron classes, which combine to produce behavioural valence and plasticity.

    Adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon improves skeletal muscle function in aged mice

    Priya Balasubramanian, Anne E Schaar ... Rozalyn M Anderson
    Activation of adiponectin receptors in young and aged mice induces changes in muscular metabolism via stimulation of AMPK and PGC-1a and ameliorates age-related muscle loss of function.

    Reduction of elevated proton leak rejuvenates mitochondria in the aged cardiomyocyte

    Huiliang Zhang, Nathan N Alder ... Peter S Rabinovitch
    The primary respiratory defect seen in aged cardiomyocytes is an elevated proton leak mediated by ANT1, and this is prevented by treatment with SS-31 (elamipretide).
