    Heterogeneous non-canonical nucleosomes predominate in yeast cells in situ

    Zhi Yang Tan, Shujun Cai ... Lu Gan
    Nucleosomes inside of baker’s yeast cells largely do not resemble those found in test tubes.

    DnaJC7 specifically regulates tau seeding

    Valerie Ann Perez, David W Sanders ... Marc I Diamond
    Knockout of the J domain protein DnaJC7 reduces tau aggregate clearance and increases intracellular tau seeding for recombinant and human brain-derived tau seed sources.

    Dorsal raphe nucleus to anterior cingulate cortex 5-HTergic neural circuit modulates consolation and sociability

    Laifu Li, Li-Zi Zhang ... Fa-Dao Tai
    Inhibition of 5-HT neurons in the dorsal raphe nuclei or 5-HT terminals in the anterior cingulate cortex decreased consolation-like behaviors and reduced sociability.

    The aperiodic exponent of subthalamic field potentials reflects excitation/inhibition balance in Parkinsonism

    Christoph Wiest, Flavie Torrecillos ... Huiling Tan
    The slope of the power spectrum of subthalamic local field potentials tracks pathological states in Parkinson’s disease and likely complements beta activity as a feedback marker for adaptive deep brain stimulation.

    Har-P, a short P-element variant, weaponizes P-transposase to severely impair Drosophila development

    Satyam P Srivastav, Reazur Rahman ... Nelson C Lau
    A female fertility syndrome in Drosophila called gonadal dysgenesis is caused by the P-transposase actively mobilizing a very short P-element variant that has been named the Har-P.

    Cryo-EM structure of the KvAP channel reveals a non-domain-swapped voltage sensor topology

    Xiao Tao, Roderick MacKinnon
    The structure of KvAP addresses a mechanism of voltage-dependent gating that has been debated for 16 years.

    Alzheimer’s disease risk gene BIN1 induces Tau-dependent network hyperexcitability

    Yuliya Voskobiynyk, Jonathan R Roth ... Erik D Roberson
    BIN1 forms a complex with Tau and voltage-gated calcium channels in neurons, and higher BIN1 levels promote neuronal activity, calcium influx, and bursting that is blocked by reducing Tau.

    A binding site for phosphoinositides described by multiscale simulations explains their modulation of voltage-gated sodium channels

    Yiechang Lin, Elaine Tao ... Ben Corry
    Simulations reveal where phosphoinositide lipids bind to voltage-gated sodium channels and how they reduce channel activity.

    Assembly of recombinant tau into filaments identical to those of Alzheimer’s disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy

    Sofia Lövestam, Fujiet Adrian Koh ... Sjors HW Scheres
    Laboratory-based methods are presented that produce filamentous tau aggregates with the same structures as those observed in neurodegenerative disease.

    Specific binding of Hsp27 and phosphorylated Tau mitigates abnormal Tau aggregation-induced pathology

    Shengnan Zhang, Yi Zhu ... Dan Li
    Structural basis and molecular mechanism of how molecular chaperone Hsp27 specifically captures phosphorylated Tau and prevents it from abnormal aggregation.
