    S-acylation of NLRP3 provides a nigericin sensitive gating mechanism that controls access to the Golgi

    Daniel M Williams, Andrew A Peden
    Recruitment of NLRP3 to the Golgi is controlled by the reversible addition of a lipid anchor adjacent to the polybasic region.

    Hormone-sensitive lipase couples intergenerational sterol metabolism to reproductive success

    Christoph Heier, Oskar Knittelfelder ... Ronald P Kühnlein
    An ancestral enzyme tailors allocation of essential lipid resources to the progeny and connects maternal and embryonic sterol metabolism for reproductive success.

    Peptides that Mimic RS repeats modulate phase separation of SRSF1, revealing a reliance on combined stacking and electrostatic interactions

    Talia Fargason, Naiduwadura Ivon Upekala De Silva ... Jun Zhang
    Short peptides that mimic the regions responsible for phase separation can be used to solubilize phase-separating proteins in their native states and to determine the mechanism of phase separation.

    Membrane fluidity is regulated by the C. elegans transmembrane protein FLD-1 and its human homologs TLCD1/2

    Mario Ruiz, Rakesh Bodhicharla ... Marc Pilon
    Inhibition of C. elegans FLD-1 or Human TLCD1/2 prevents saturated fat lipotoxicity by allowing increased levels of membrane phospholipids that contain fluidizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

    Upregulation of TRPM3 in nociceptors innervating inflamed tissue

    Marie Mulier, Nele Van Ranst ... Lauri Moilanen
    The expression and function of the cation channel TRPM3 is strongly increased in sensory neurons innervating inflamed tissue, likely contributing to inflammatory hyperalgesia and persistent pain.

    Live calcium and mitochondrial imaging in the enteric nervous system of Parkinson patients and controls

    An-Sofie Desmet, Carla Cirillo ... Pieter Vanden Berghe
    In contrast to previous post-mortem or fixed tissue histochemical reports, live calcium and mitochondrial imaging data suggest that the enteric nervous system is not generally affected in Parkinson's disease patients.

    Definition of two agonist types at the mammalian cold-activated channel TRPM8

    Annelies Janssens, Maarten Gees ... Thomas Voets
    Two natural cooling agents activate the cold-activated channel TRPM8 via two opposite mechanisms, evoking distinct electrical responses in cold-sensitive neurons.

    Molecular structures and conformations of protocadherin-15 and its complexes on stereocilia elucidated by cryo-electron tomography

    Johannes Elferich, Sarah Clark ... Eric Gouaux
    Direct imaging of individual molecules of the tip-link protein PCDH15 in mouse stereocilia shows that it assembles as a dimer, forms complexes that span stereocilia, and occurs in clusters with multiple copies of the PCDH15 dimer.

    Phytotoxin production in Aspergillus terreus is regulated by independent environmental signals

    Markus Gressler, Florian Meyer ... Matthias Brock
    Elevated methionine levels, or a shortage of nitrogen or iron, induce terrein production in the fungus Aspergillus terreus.

    Regional complexity in enteric neuron wiring reflects diversity of motility patterns in the mouse large intestine

    Zhiling Li, Marlene M Hao ... Pieter Vanden Berghe
    Calcium response profiling of large populations of enteric neurons reveals hard-wired neural circuits that reflect the motility program portfolio of the intestinal region they occupy.
