    EPHX1 mutations cause a lipoatrophic diabetes syndrome due to impaired epoxide hydrolysis and increased cellular senescence

    Jeremie Gautheron, Christophe Morisseau ... Isabelle Jeru
    Disruption of epoxide hydrolysis inducing oxidative stress and cellular senescence is a novel mechanism responsible for lipoatrophic monogenic diabetes.

    Genetic defects in β-spectrin and tau sensitize C. elegans axons to movement-induced damage via torque-tension coupling

    Michael Krieg, Jan Stühmer ... Miriam B Goodman
    A conceptual framework and physical model shows how actin-spectrin networks and microtubule bundles can protect axons from mechanical stress.

    Focal seizures are organized by feedback between neural activity and ion concentration changes

    Damiano Gentiletti, Marco de Curtis ... Piotr Suffczynski
    Biophysically realistic computational model reveals how inhibitory interneurons initiate paroxysmal discharges and how changes in the ionic concentrations shape electrographic features of human seizures.

    Non-uniform distribution of dendritic nonlinearities differentially engages thalamostriatal and corticostriatal inputs onto cholinergic interneurons

    Osnat Oz, Lior Matityahu ... Joshua A Goldberg
    The membrane nonlinearities of the dendritic arbor of striatal cholinergic interneurons conspire with the spatial distribution of its excitatory inputs to preferentially boost thalamic inputs.

    Structural basis of αE-catenin–F-actin catch bond behavior

    Xiao-Ping Xu, Sabine Pokutta ... William I Weis
    A molecular mechanism for force-dependent binding of the cell adhesion proteins αE-catenin and vinculin to actin is derived from the structure of the αE-catenin actin-binding domain bound to F-actin.

    The dynamic assembly of distinct RNA polymerase I complexes modulates rDNA transcription

    Eva Torreira, Jaime Alegrio Louro ... Carlos Fernández-Tornero
    Live-cell imaging, genetic analysis and electron cryomicroscopy identify structural motifs involved in the differential assembly of Pol I-Rrn3 complexes and Pol I homodimers in response to nutrient availability.

    V-ATPase V0a1 promotes Weibel–Palade body biogenesis through the regulation of membrane fission

    Yasuo Yamazaki, Yuka Eura, Koichi Kokame
    A V-ATPase component and protein kinase D are required for the segregation of Weibel–Palade bodies from the trans-Golgi network.

    Temperature compensation in a small rhythmic circuit

    Leandro M Alonso, Eve Marder
    Computational models demonstrate that circuit resilience to temperature perturbations are associated with smooth transitions between cellular mechanisms as the contributions of different currents are altered while activity is maintained.
