    Dynamic localization of the chromosomal passenger complex in trypanosomes is controlled by the orphan kinesins KIN-A and KIN-B

    Daniel Ballmer, Bungo Akiyoshi
    The kinetoplastid parasite Trypanosoma brucei employs a unique mechanism to target the conserved Aurora B kinase to kinetochores and the central spindle.

    SDR enzymes oxidize specific lipidic alkynylcarbinols into cytotoxic protein-reactive species

    Pascal Demange, Etienne Joly ... Sébastien Britton
    Deciphering the mechanism of action of a large family of natural and synthetic cytotoxic lipids bioactivated by enantiospecific oxidation into protein-reactive species inspires the development of enzyme-specific prodrugs.
    1. Neuroscience

    Mechanical overstimulation causes acute injury and synapse loss followed by fast recovery in lateral-line neuromasts of larval zebrafish

    Melanie Holmgren, Michael E Ravicz ... Lavinia Sheets
    Mechanically induced injury of zebrafish lateral-line organs shares key features of damage observed in noise-exposed mammalian ears, such as inflammation and synapse loss, yet, unlike mammals, rapidly repairs following damage.
    1. Neuroscience

    Gjd2b-mediated gap junctions promote glutamatergic synapse formation and dendritic elaboration in Purkinje neurons

    Sahana Sitaraman, Gnaneshwar Yadav ... Vatsala Thirumalai
    A protein that is a building block of intercellular bridges between neurons promotes their ability to grow dendrites and make synapses.
    1. Cell Biology

    A stable microtubule bundle formed through an orchestrated multistep process controls quiescence exit

    Damien Laporte, Aurelie Massoni-Laporte ... Isabelle Sagot
    In quiescent yeast, a stable bundle of parallel microtubules is assembled from the centrosome by an original multistep mechanism that follows a precise temporality and involves Aurora B and various kinesins.

    Bleaching causes loss of disease resistance within the threatened coral species Acropora cervicornis

    Erinn M Muller, Erich Bartels, Iliana B Baums
    Standing genetic variation for disease resistance may be continuously lost during recurring warm water episodes because of widespread susceptibility of disease-resistant genotypes to bleaching and the independence between these two traits.

    Cannabinoid combination targets NOTCH1-mutated T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia through the integrated stress response pathway

    Elazar Besser, Anat Gelfand ... David Meiri
    The cannabinoids cannabidiol, cannabidivarin, and the newly identified 331-18A demonstrate antitumoral effects in Notch1-mutated leukemia, underscoring the potential and complexity of Cannabis as a novel treatment for cancer.
    1. Neuroscience

    Acute disruption of the synaptic vesicle membrane protein synaptotagmin 1 using knockoff in mouse hippocampal neurons

    Jason D Vevea, Edwin R Chapman
    Knockoff is a tool for researchers who wish to acutely disrupt a membrane protein.

    Quantitative transportomics identifies Kif5a as a major regulator of neurodegeneration

    Sahil H Shah, Lucio M Schiapparelli ... Jeffrey L Goldberg
    Transportomic analysis of the changes underlying neurodegeneration reveals the importance of Kif5a for neuronal survival and highlights the need to restore specific anterograde cargo transport to for regeneration.

    Bedrock radioactivity influences the rate and spectrum of mutation

    Nathanaëlle Saclier, Patrick Chardon ... Christophe J Douady
    Subterranean isopods endemic to regions with large igneous rock formations have a higher mutation rate and display an excess of mutations that are typical of an oxidative stress.
