    Quantitative prediction of variant effects on alternative splicing in MAPT using endogenous pre-messenger RNA structure probing

    Jayashree Kumar, Lela Lackey ... Alain Laederach
    A novel model is presented that reconciles in-cell structure probing data with splicing regulatory elements to predict exon 10 inclusion of the Tau gene with high accuracy for 53 splice altering mutations.

    Minimal twister sister-like self-cleaving ribozymes in the human genome revealed by deep mutational scanning

    Zhe Zhang, Xu Hong ... Jian Zhan
    The minimal twister sister (TS)-like self-cleaving ribozymes, revealed by deep mutational scanning, represent some of the very few human/primate ribozymes.

    Blumenols as shoot markers of root symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

    Ming Wang, Martin Schäfer ... Ian T Baldwin
    Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi-induced hydroxy- and carboxyblumenol C glycosides accumulate in plant shoots and allow for facile high-throughput screening for functional plant-AMF associations.

    Exploring the role of the outer subventricular zone during cortical folding through a physics-based model

    Mohammad Saeed Zarzor, Ingmar Blumcke, Silvia Budday
    Continuum mechanics-based computational modeling provides insights into the interplay between cell proliferation in different zones of the developing human brain and the evolving cortical folding patterns.

    Specific lexico-semantic predictions are associated with unique spatial and temporal patterns of neural activity

    Lin Wang, Gina Kuperberg, Ole Jensen
    The prediction of specific words is associated with distinct spatial and temporal patterns of neural activity within the left inferior and medial temporal regions before the predicted word is presented.

    Melanocortin 1 receptor regulates cholesterol and bile acid metabolism in the liver

    Keshav Thapa, James J Kadiri ... Petteri Rinne
    Melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1-R) deficiency in hepatocytes increases cholesterol levels in the circulation and liver in mice, while selective activation of MC1-R reduces cellular cholesterol content in cultured hepatocytes.

    A distinct tethering step is vital for vacuole membrane fusion

    Michael Zick, William T Wickner
    Rigorous assays of membrane fusion show that a distinct tethering step is required for lumenal compartment mixing in a manner that extends beyond simply increasing the amount of total trans-SNARE complex.

    Higher ratio of plasma omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids is associated with greater risk of all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular mortality: A population-based cohort study in UK Biobank

    Yuchen Zhang, Yitang Sun ... Kaixiong Ye
    Individuals with higher blood levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, especially omega-3, are less likely to die, either from any cause, cancer or cardiovascular disease.

    SNAP25 disease mutations change the energy landscape for synaptic exocytosis due to aberrant SNARE interactions

    Anna Kádková, Jacqueline Murach ... Jakob Balslev Sørensen
    SNAP25 disease mutations within the synaptotagmin interface impair vesicle priming and cause uncontrolled spontaneous release due to enhanced SNARE:SNARE interactions, whereas a mutation within the SNARE-bundle increases the fusion energy barrier.
