    Ca2+ channel and active zone protein abundance intersects with input-specific synapse organization to shape functional synaptic diversity

    Audrey T Medeiros, Scott J Gratz ... Kate M O'Connor-Giles
    In vivo analysis of endogenously tagged Ca2+ channel subunits reveals unexpected differences in subunit composition and synapse-specific relationships between channel abundance and synaptic strength.

    Layered roles of fruitless isoforms in specification and function of male aggression-promoting neurons in Drosophila

    Margot Wohl, Kenichi Ishii, Kenta Asahina
    Male-type aggressive and courtship behaviors of the fruit flies are differentially specified by two sex-determining genes, providing a substrate for the evolution to sculpt these two behaviors independently.

    Circular RNA HMGCS1 sponges MIR4521 to aggravate type 2 diabetes-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction

    Ming Zhang, Guangyi Du ... Wei Chen
    Cardiovascular disease, the top cause of diabetic deaths, progresses via vascular endothelial dysfunction, with circHMGCS1 and miR4521 highlighted as potential markers for the development of this condition.

    From plasmodesma geometry to effective symplasmic permeability through biophysical modelling

    Eva E Deinum, Bela M Mulder, Yoselin Benitez-Alfonso
    A new biophysical model enables the reconciliation of ultrastructural and tissue level measurements on parameters affecting intercellular communication, and provides novel functional insight into experimental findings.

    Host-pathogen genetic interactions underlie tuberculosis susceptibility in genetically diverse mice

    Clare M Smith, Richard E Baker ... Christopher M Sassetti
    A novel dual genome approach that combines genetically diverse mice and a library of bacterial mutants to define the genome-wide host pathogen interactions that drive distinct outcomes to tuberculosis.

    SRSF10 is essential for progenitor spermatogonia expansion by regulating alternative splicing

    Wenbo Liu, Xukun Lu ... Jianqiao Liu
    SRSF10 directly binds genes functioning in spermatogonia and regulates their alternative splicing, the defect of which can lead to progenitor expansion failure.

    Partitioning to ordered membrane domains regulates the kinetics of secretory traffic

    Ivan Castello-Serrano, Frederick A Heberle ... Ilya Levental
    Direct measurements of trafficking kinetics between organelles of the secretory pathway suggest that lipid-driven membrane domains laterally sort proteins during membrane traffic.

    Slow presynaptic mechanisms that mediate adaptation in the olfactory pathway of Drosophila

    Carlotta Martelli, André Fiala
    Slow presynaptic depression in olfactory receptor neurons rescales combinatorial odor representations in postsynaptic neurons and mediates the encoding of stimulus mean and variance.

    Role of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in neurodevelopmental deficits and experience-dependent plasticity in Xenopus laevis

    Sayali V Gore, Eric J James ... Carlos D Aizenman
    Chronic dysregulation of matrix-metalloproteinase 9, which is associated with some neurodevelopmental disorders, leads to local hyperconnectivity in the developing brain, resulting in altered sensory processing and increased seizure susceptibility.

    Rapid and iterative genome editing in the malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi provides new tools for P. vivax research

    Franziska Mohring, Melissa Natalie Hart ... Robert William Moon
    Optimised genome editing in P. knowlesi enables transgenic expression of a lead P. vivax vaccine candidate, revealing roles in host cell tropisms and providing tools for scalable vaccine efficacy testing.
