    Drivers and sites of diversity in the DNA adenine methylomes of 93 Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex clinical isolates

    Samuel J Modlin, Derek Conkle-Gutierrez ... Faramarz Valafar
    Fully assembled DNA methylomes from phylogeographically diverse clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates reveals 'intercellular mosaic methylation' as a source of epigenetic diversity.

    The mechanism of MICU-dependent gating of the mitochondrial Ca2+uniporter

    Vivek Garg, Junji Suzuki ... Yuriy Kirichok
    A comprehensive functional analysis of mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU) demonstrates that the auxiliary MICU subunits potentiate Ca2+ transport via MCU.

    Wnt signaling mediates acquisition of blood–brain barrier properties in naïve endothelium derived from human pluripotent stem cells

    Benjamin D Gastfriend, Hideaki Nishihara ... Eric V Shusta
    Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in endothelial progenitors derived from human pluripotent stem cells partially induces the specialized blood–brain barrier phenotype while the same treatment in matured endothelial cells is less efficacious.

    MELK is not necessary for the proliferation of basal-like breast cancer cells

    Hai-Tsang Huang, Hyuk-Soo Seo ... Nathanael S Gray
    The inhibitory or deletion effect of MELK does not impair the proliferation of basal-like breast cancer cell lines.

    Evolution of multifunctionality through a pleiotropic substitution in the innate immune protein S100A9

    Joseph L Harman, Andrea N Loes ... Michael J Harms
    In the ancestor of mammals, a multifunctional innate immune protein evolved when a mutation enhanced the protein’s pro-inflammatory activity and proteolytic regulation without disrupting the protein’s antimicrobial activity.

    Plant-associated CO2 mediates long-distance host location and foraging behaviour of a root herbivore

    Carla CM Arce, Vanitha Theepan ... Ricardo AR Machado
    The larvae of the western corn rootworm use root-emitted CO2 to successfully locate the most suitable host plant.

    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.

    Structural characterization of NrnC identifies unifying features of dinucleases

    Justin D Lormand, Soo-Kyoung Kim ... Holger Sondermann
    Dinucleases, specialized enzymes that catalyze the final step in RNA degradation, have evolved independently and repeatedly to fulfill essential roles in cell growth.

    Metabolic constraints drive self-organization of specialized cell groups

    Sriram Varahan, Adhish Walvekar ... Sunil Laxman
    In a developing yeast colony, cells go from homogeneous states to spatially organized, specialized metabolic states, and the new metabolic states depend on resources produced by the original state.
