    The Ki-67 and RepoMan mitotic phosphatases assemble via an identical, yet novel mechanism

    Ganesan Senthil Kumar, Ezgi Gokhan ... Rebecca Page
    Building on previous work (Booth et al, 2014), we show how two mitotic phosphatases are formed, how they are regulated by opposing kinases during the cell cycle and reveal a novel opportunity for the development of cancer therapeutics.

    The CDK Pef1 and protein phosphatase 4 oppose each other for regulating cohesin binding to fission yeast chromosomes

    Adrien Birot, Marta Tormos-Pérez ... Jean-Paul Javerzat
    Cohesin loader activity is regulated by phosphorylation of its cohesin substrate.

    A cross-sectional study of functional and metabolic changes during aging through the lifespan in male mice

    Michael A Petr, Irene Alfaras ... Rafael de Cabo
    A comprehensive cross-sectional assessment reveals functional decline in mice consistent with increased energetic cost of physical activity with age through metabolic rewiring in multiple organs.

    Subcellular tracking reveals the location of dimethylsulfoniopropionate in microalgae and visualises its uptake by marine bacteria

    Jean-Baptiste Raina, Peta L Clode ... David G Bourne
    The intracellular location of a key sulfur compound, dimethylsulfoniopropionate, was identified in microalgae and its subsequent uptake by marine bacteria was quantified using a combination of secondary-ion mass-spectrometry techniques.

    Concerted action of the MutLβ heterodimer and Mer3 helicase regulates the global extent of meiotic gene conversion

    Yann Duroc, Rajeev Kumar ... Valérie Borde
    Meiotic cells employ a specific pathway to limit the amount of gene conversion occuring at recombination sites.

    A crowd of BashTheBug volunteers reproducibly and accurately measure the minimum inhibitory concentrations of 13 antitubercular drugs from photographs of 96-well broth microdilution plates

    Philip W Fowler, Carla Wright ... The CRyPTIC Consortium
    A crowd of inexperienced volunteers can reproducibily and accurately measured how effective a panel of antibiotics are in treating a M. tuberculosis sample.

    The Opto-inflammasome in zebrafish as a tool to study cell and tissue responses to speck formation and cell death

    Eva Hasel de Carvalho, Shivani S Dharmadhikari ... Maria Leptin
    Manipulating cell death in situ with the temporal and spatial precision of optogenetic tools opens up new avenues for studying inflammation, death and related phenomena, revealing, for example, that epithelial cell death cannot be classified into strictly distinct categories.

    Evidence for absence of links between striatal dopamine synthesis capacity and working memory capacity, spontaneous eye-blink rate, and trait impulsivity

    Ruben van den Bosch, Frank H Hezemans ... Roshan Cools
    The absence of generally assumed strong correlations between striatal dopamine synthesis capacity and simple indices of working memory capacity, trait impulsivity, and spontaneous eye-blink rate warrants caution for using these traits as proxy measures to replace direct striatal dopamine assessments.

    Efficacy of ultra-short, response-guided sofosbuvir and daclatasvir therapy for hepatitis C in a single-arm mechanistic pilot study

    Barnaby Flower, Le Manh Hung ... Graham S Cooke
    Shortened hepatitis C therapy, with retreatment if needed, can reduce antiviral drug use in patients with mild liver disease, but day 2 viral load is not an adequate predictor of outcome.

    Decapping factor Dcp2 controls mRNA abundance and translation to adjust metabolism and filamentation to nutrient availability

    Anil Kumar Vijjamarri, Xiao Niu ... Alan G Hinnebusch
    The yeast mRNA decapping enzyme Dcp1/Dcp2 repressses many genes whose products are required on poor carbon or nitrogen sources in nutrient-replete cells by mRNA decapping and degradation or translational repression, adding post-transcriptional controls to the transcriptional repression of these functions.
