    Huntingtin recruits KIF1A to transport synaptic vesicle precursors along the mouse axon to support synaptic transmission and motor skill learning

    Hélène Vitet, Julie Bruyère ... Frédéric Saudou
    Studies in mice and neurons reveal how modulation of the axonal transport of synaptic vesicles via huntingtin phosphorylation influences the number of vesicles accumulating at the synapse, subsequent glutamate release, and behavior in mice.

    Mesenchyme instructs growth while epithelium directs branching in the mouse mammary gland

    Qiang Lan, Ewelina Trela ... Marja L Mikkola
    Live imaging, transcriptional profiling and mouse models demonstrated that the mesenchyme controls the growth pace but not the mode of branching of the mammary epithelium and unveiled a unique function for Igf1/Igfr1 in embryonic development mammary gland.

    ILC3 GM-CSF production and mobilisation orchestrate acute intestinal inflammation

    Claire Pearson, Emily E Thornton ... Fiona Powrie
    Innate lymphoid cells, which are dynamic under steady-state conditions, respond to a colitogenic stimulus by mobilizing from cryptopatches and secreting GM-CSF to organize the pro-inflammatory response.

    Clinical phenotypes in acute and chronic infarction explained through human ventricular electromechanical modelling and simulations

    Xin Zhou, Zhinuo Jenny Wang ... Blanca Rodriguez
    Human-based electromechanical simulations reveal electrocardiogram biomarkers are better indicators of pro-arrhythmic substrate after myocardial infarction than ejection fraction.

    Structural features stabilized by divalent cation coordination within hepatitis E virus ORF1 are critical for viral replication

    Robert LeDesma, Brigitte Heller ... Alexander Ploss
    A combined computational, genetic, and biochemical analysis of the hepatitis E virus open reading frame 1 (ORF1) protein identifies a novel domain-domain interaction that is vital for fitness and supports a proposed structural model of the ORF1 polyprotein.

    A chloroplast retrograde signal, 3’-phosphoadenosine 5’-phosphate, acts as a secondary messenger in abscisic acid signaling in stomatal closure and germination

    Wannarat Pornsiriwong, Gonzalo M Estavillo ... Barry J Pogson
    Molecular signals from chloroplasts can synergistically interact with the plant hormone, abscisic acid (ABA), to regulate non-canonical signaling pathways mediating fundamental cellular processes including stomatal closure, seed dormancy and germination.

    Origins and functional consequences of somatic mitochondrial DNA mutations in human cancer

    Young Seok Ju, Ludmil B Alexandrov ... Peter J Campbell
    Identifying 1,907 mitochondrial somatic mutations from 1,675 tumor tissues provides new insights into the causes and effects of the mitochondrial genome mutations found in human cancers.

    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.

    Gamma rhythms and visual information in mouse V1 specifically modulated by somatostatin+ neurons in reticular thalamus

    Mahmood S Hoseini, Bryan Higashikubo ... Jeanne T Paz
    Gamma rhythms and representation of visual information in the primary visual cortex are specifically modulated by somatostatin+ but not parvalbumin+ neurons in reticular thalamic nucleus.

    Crystal structure of intraflagellar transport protein 80 reveals a homo-dimer required for ciliogenesis

    Michael Taschner, Anna Lorentzen ... Esben Lorentzen
    CRISPR/Cas knockout of intraflagellar transport protein 80 shows that this subunit is absolutely required for ciliogenesis, and biophysical studies reveal that this protein may dimerize the intraflagellar transport complex.
