    Aurora A depletion reveals centrosome-independent polarization mechanism in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Kerstin Klinkert, Nicolas Levernier ... Pierre Gönczy
    Experiments reveal mechanisms through which Caenorhabditis elegans zygotes depleted of Aurora A or lacking centrosomes spontaneously establish two posterior PAR-2 domains, one at each pole, in a curvature-dependent manner.

    Behavioral training promotes multiple adaptive processes following acute hearing loss

    Peter Keating, Onayomi Rosenior-Patten ... Andrew J King
    Training enables adult humans to rapidly adapt their sound localization abilities to unilateral hearing loss by combining different strategies that rely on partially distinct neurophysiological substrates.

    Keratin 14-dependent disulfides regulate epidermal homeostasis and barrier function via 14-3-3σ and YAP1

    Yajuan Guo, Catherine J Redmond ... Pierre A Coulombe
    Keratin filaments are revealed as novel regulators of entry into terminal differentiation in the epidermis via an ability to modulate YAP1 function and Hippo signaling.

    Structural differences in adolescent brains can predict alcohol misuse

    Roshan Prakash Rane, Evert Ferdinand de Man ... IMAGEN consortium
    Structural differences in adolescent brains associated with binge drinking might be preceding the onset of such behavior, suggesting a reevaluation of studies of the effects of alcohol on the adolescent brain.

    Sleep spindle maturity promotes slow oscillation-spindle coupling across child and adolescent development

    Ann-Kathrin Joechner, Michael A Hahn ... Markus Werkle-Bergner
    Across four samples of children, adolescents, and young adults, age-related higher similarity of dominant, development-specific fast sleep spindles and adult-like fast sleep spindles is uniquely related to stronger and more precise slow oscillation-sleep spindle coupling.

    High-resolution volumetric imaging constrains compartmental models to explore synaptic integration and temporal processing by cochlear nucleus globular bushy cells

    George A Spirou, Matthew Kersting ... Paul B Manis
    Volume electron-microscopic reconstructions of auditory brainstem neurons and their afferent synapses were used to develop a pipeline creating biophysically defined computational models with heterogenous inputs, revealing roles for subthreshold synapses to enhance temporal processing unique features of their dendrites.

    A transient role of the ciliary gene Inpp5e in controlling direct versus indirect neurogenesis in cortical development

    Kerstin Hasenpusch-Theil, Christine Laclef ... Thomas Theil
    Primary-cilia-mediated processing of the Gli3 transcription factor enables the formation of subtypes of projection neurons in appropriate numbers during the development of the cerebral cortex.

    Pharmacological inhibition of cystine–glutamate exchange induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and ferroptosis

    Scott J Dixon, Darpan N Patel ... Brent R Stockwell
    Erastin and sorafenib inhibit system xc- and induce ER stress, suggesting these may be useful tools for probing the functions of system xc- and its role in inducing ER stress and ferroptosis.

    Losing Dnmt3a dependent methylation in inhibitory neurons impairs neural function by a mechanism impacting Rett syndrome

    Laura A Lavery, Kerstin Ure ... Huda Y Zoghbi
    Dnmt3a regulates gene expression in inhibitory neurons by writing all mCH and some mCG, and MeCP2 reads some of these mCH sites driving a portion of these gene expression changes.

    Lack of activity of recombinant HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) on reported non-HIF substrates

    Matthew E Cockman, Kerstin Lippl ... Peter J Ratcliffe
    Assays using recombinant HIF prolyl hydroxylases did not support hydroxylation of more than 20 reported non-HIF substrates under conditions where robust HIF hydroxylation was observed.
