    Cortical anchoring of the microtubule cytoskeleton is essential for neuron polarity

    Liu He, Robbelien Kooistra ... Martin Harterink
    UNC119 complexes the microtubule binding CRMP to the cortical Ankyrin to immobilize the microtubule cytoskeleton in Caenorhabditis elegans neurons.

    Analysis of allelic cross-reactivity of monoclonal IgG antibodies by a multiplexed reverse FluoroSpot assay

    Henriette Hoffmann-Veltung, Nsoh Godwin Anabire ... Maria del Pilar Quintana
    An improved 'plug-and-play' reversed FluoroSpot assay is described and validated that allows the simultaneous assessment of antibody cross-reactivity at the single-cell level against up to four variants of a polymorphic antigen of interest.

    Immunopathology and Trypanosoma congolense parasite sequestration cause acute cerebral trypanosomiasis

    Sara Silva Pereira, Mariana De Niz ... Luisa M Figueiredo
    While Trypanosoma congolense is mostly known to cause a chronic wasting disease in animals, a new mouse model shows that acute cerebral trypanosomiasis is triggered by parasite sequestration and infiltration of T helper cells in the brain parenchyma.

    Earliest evidence for fruit consumption and potential seed dispersal by birds

    Han Hu, Yan Wang ... Roger BJ Benson
    Fruit consumption of Jeholornis was evidenced and indicates seed dispersal was present from early in avian radiation.

    Dynamics of genomic innovation in the unicellular ancestry of animals

    Xavier Grau-Bové, Guifré Torruella ... Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo
    The foundations of genomic complexity in multicellular animals have deep roots in their unicellular prehistory, both in terms of innovations in gene content, as well as the evolutionary dynamics of genome architecture.

    Male meiotic spindle features that efficiently segregate paired and lagging chromosomes

    Gunar Fabig, Robert Kiewisz ... Thomas Müller-Reichert
    Chromosome segregation in male spermatocytes exhibits anaphase A without shortening of autosome-associated microtubules and partitioning of an unpaired X chromosome that is initiated by an imbalance of attached kinetochore microtubules.

    Pathway-specific effects of ADSL deficiency on neurodevelopment

    Ilaria Dutto, Julian Gerhards ... Travis H Stracker
    Analysis of adenylosuccinate lyase (ADSL) deficiency in multiple experimental systems reveals cell and organismal phenotypes and impaired neurodevelopment due to the attenuation of ADSL's roles in distinct pathways.

    Inhibition of CERS1 in skeletal muscle exacerbates age-related muscle dysfunction

    Martin Wohlwend, Pirkka-Pekka Laurila ... Johan Auwerx
    CERS1 reduction in aging skeletal muscle contributes to impaired muscle function, myogenesis and increases inflammation and fibrosis, highlighting the significance of very long chain ceramides in age-related muscle homeostasis.

    Centriolar satellites expedite mother centriole remodeling to promote ciliogenesis

    Emma A Hall, Dhivya Kumar ... Pleasantine Mill
    Centriolar satellites facilitate efficient trafficking of proteins to and from centrioles and are required for early steps of cilia formation and timely ciliogenesis in vivo, where mice lacking satellites display perinatal lethality, hydrocephalus, oligospermia, and cerebellar hypoplasia.

    An arbitrary-spectrum spatial visual stimulator for vision research

    Katrin Franke, André Maia Chagas ... Thomas Euler
    Towards a community effort, we here present a flexible yet standardised visual stimulator design based on open hardware and software.
