    Competition between lysogenic and sensitive bacteria is determined by the fitness costs of the different emerging phage-resistance strategies

    Olaya Rendueles, Jorge AM de Sousa, Eduardo PC Rocha
    The emergence and evolution of different phage-resistance strategies during coevolution between a phage-sensitive strain and a polylysogenic competitor depend on the amount of phage pressure, the fitness costs of resistance, and how these may change at different time scales.

    The LRRK2 G2019S mutation alters astrocyte-to-neuron communication via extracellular vesicles and induces neuron atrophy in a human iPSC-derived model of Parkinson’s disease

    Aurelie de Rus Jacquet, Jenna L Tancredi ... Erin K O'Shea
    Extracellular vesicles are proposed as novel, non-cell-autonomous mediators of neuronal atrophy in Parkinson's disease.

    KLK3/PSA and cathepsin D activate VEGF-C and VEGF-D

    Sawan Kumar Jha, Khushbu Rauniyar ... Michael Jeltsch
    Both VEGF-C and VEGF-D can be activated by KLK3/PSA and Cathepsin D, producing two novel VEGF-C forms and the known VEGFR-2-specific form of VEGF-D.

    Dynamic 1D search and processive nucleosome translocations by RSC and ISW2 chromatin remodelers

    Jee Min Kim, Claudia C Carcamo ... Carl Wu
    Single-particle imaging of RSC and ISW2 chromatin remodelers on DNA stretched between dual optical tweezers reveals distinctive 1D diffusion and opposing push–pull nucleosome translocation on engagement with sparse nucleosome arrays.

    RSC primes the quiescent genome for hypertranscription upon cell-cycle re-entry

    Christine E Cucinotta, Rachel H Dell ... Toshio Tsukiyama
    Multiple mechanisms, by which a highly conserved chromatin-remodeling factor RSC facilitates initiation and maintenance of large-scale, rapid gene expression upon exit from quiescent state, have been discovered.

    Stochastic and deterministic dynamics of intrinsically irregular firing in cortical inhibitory interneurons

    Philipe RF Mendonça, Mariana Vargas-Caballero ... Hugh PC Robinson
    A-type potassium conductances influence the distinctive firing behaviour of irregular-spiking interneurons.

    The neural crest is a source of mesenchymal stem cells with specialized hematopoietic stem cell niche function

    Joan Isern, Andrés García-García ... Simón Méndez-Ferrer
    Developing long bones contain distinct mesenchymal stem-cell populations derived from mesoderm and neural crest, which have specialized functions in skeleton formation and the establishment of the hematopoietic stem-cell niche, respectively.

    A human ESC-based screen identifies a role for the translated lncRNA LINC00261 in pancreatic endocrine differentiation

    Bjoern Gaertner, Sebastiaan van Heesch ... Maike Sander
    Ribosome profiling and loss-of-function during human ESC pancreatic differentiation reveal abundant lncRNA translation and an essential role for translated LINC00261 in beta cell differentiation, likely through a trans-regulatory, microprotein-independent mechanism.

    CHARGE syndrome modeling using patient-iPSCs reveals defective migration of neural crest cells harboring CHD7 mutations

    Hironobu Okuno, Francois Renault Mihara ... Hideyuki Okano
    Neural crest cells differentiated from patient-derived cells with mutations in the chromatin remodeler CHD7 show defective delamination, migration and motility in vitro, and defective migration in chick embryos.

    Pathogenic mechanisms of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC)

    Zaki A Sherif, Christian R Gomez ... RECOVER Mechanistic Pathway Task Force
    PASC (post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection) is an enduring and debilitating illness caused by a persistent virus that promotes inflammation, coagulation, and autoimmunity complications in millions of patients initially diagnosed with COVID-19, but with no known standardized treatment regimen.
