    Botulinum toxin intoxication requires retrograde transport and membrane translocation at the ER in RenVM neurons

    Jeremy C Yeo, Felicia P Tay ... Frederic Bard
    BoNT intoxication of neurons is revisited using a genome-wide siRNA screen and organelle-specific reporters, suggesting a mechanism of translocation to the cytosol fundamentally different than previously proposed.

    Botulinum neurotoxin accurately separates tonic vs. phasic transmission and reveals heterosynaptic plasticity rules in Drosophila

    Yifu Han, Chun Chien ... Dion Dickman
    A new tool enables electrophysiological isolation of input-specific neurotransmission in a powerful model glutamatergic circuit.

    Oligodendrocyte-lineage cell exocytosis and L-type prostaglandin D synthase promote oligodendrocyte development and myelination

    Lin Pan, Amelia Trimarco ... Ye Zhang
    Oligodendrocyte-lineage cells secrete L-type prostaglandin synthase in an autocrine loop to promote oligodendrocyte development and myelination.

    RETRACTED: Endocytic recycling and vesicular transport systems mediate transcytosis of Leptospira interrogans across cell monolayer

    Yang Li, Kai-Xuan Li ... Jie Yan
    L. interrogans utilizes endocytic recycling and vesicular transport systems for transcytosis across endothelial or epithelial barrier in blood vessels or renal tubules, which contributes to spreading and transmission of leptospirosis.

    Deletion of a kinesin I motor unmasks a mechanism of homeostatic branching control by neurotrophin-3

    Thomas O Auer, Tong Xiao ... Filippo Del Bene
    Disrupting synapse formation between the retina and the brain in zebrafish larvae-by eliminating the molecular motor Kif5A-triggers a compensatory increase in the branching of retinal axons aimed at restoring synapse number.

    Major genetic discontinuity and novel toxigenic species in Clostridioides difficile taxonomy

    Daniel R Knight, Korakrit Imwattana ... Thomas V Riley
    The Clostridioides difficile taxonomy is characterised by major taxonomic incoherence and clear species boundaries.

    Robo2 regulates synaptic oxytocin content by affecting actin dynamics

    Savani Anbalagan, Janna Blechman ... Gil Levkowitz
    Real-time monitoring of oxytocin-loaded vesicles and synaptic actin dynamics in zebrafish reveal that Slit3-Robo2-Cdc42 signalling maintains steady-state levels of mature oxytocin neuropeptide readily primed to be secreted upon physiological demand.

    Interaction of human keratinocytes and nerve fiber terminals at the neuro-cutaneous unit

    Christoph Erbacher, Sebastian Britz ... Nurcan Üçeyler
    Sensory nerve fiber ending ensheathment and connexin 43 contacts by keratinocytes at the neuro-cutaneous unit can be visualized and quantified at super-resolution in human skin.

    Specialized neurons in the right habenula mediate response to aversive olfactory cues

    Jung-Hwa Choi, Erik R Duboue ... Marnie E Halpern
    An asymmetric olfactory projection innervates a small subset of identified neurons in the right habenula, which are activated by a repulsive odorant and mediate prolonged aversive behavior, providing further evidence for lateralization of the zebrafish brain.

    Mechanosensory neurons control the timing of spinal microcircuit selection during locomotion

    Steven Knafo, Kevin Fidelin ... Claire Wyart
    Bioluminescence monitoring and selective silencing in zebrafish larva reveal a novel sensorimotor circuit modulating speed in the moving spinal cord.
