    Identification of functionally distinct macrophage subpopulations in Drosophila

    Jonathon Alexis Coates, Elliot Brooks ... Iwan Robert Evans
    Drosophila macrophages are a heterogeneous population of cells containing subpopulations with enhanced responses to injury that display considerable variation in their abundance across development.

    Stapled Golgi cisternae remain in place as cargo passes through the stack

    Gregory Lavieu, Hong Zheng, James E Rothman
    The cisternae of the Golgi contain two functionally distinct domains: the central areas, which remain stationary, and the edges or rims, which are mobile.

    The interplay of stiffness and force anisotropies drives embryo elongation

    Thanh Thi Kim Vuong-Brender, Martine Ben Amar ... Michel Labouesse
    Elongation of C. elegans embryos requires stiffness and force to be specifically oriented in a coordinated manner in different cells.

    Insights into the molecular architecture and histone H3-H4 deposition mechanism of yeast Chromatin assembly factor 1

    Paul Victor Sauer, Jennifer Timm ... Daniel Panne
    The CAF1 complex binds single histone H3-H4 dimers, and two such complexes associate with extended DNA elements to ensure the deposition of H3-H4 tetramers, the first step in the assembly of nucleosomes.

    Neuropeptide Bursicon and its receptor-mediated the transition from summer-form to winter-form of Cacopsylla chinensis

    Zhixian Zhang, Jianying Li ... Songdou Zhang
    Integrated ecological and genetic methods show that Bursicon signaling pathway and miR-6012 regulate the transition from summer-form to winter-form in Cacopsylla chinensis through affecting cuticle pigment and cuticle thickness.

    Naked mole-rat mortality rates defy Gompertzian laws by not increasing with age

    J Graham Ruby, Megan Smith, Rochelle Buffenstein
    Unlike all other mammals studied to date, the age-specific risk of mortality for naked mole-rats did not increase over decades of life, identifying this species as a non-aging mammal.

    ESCRT-III-dependent adhesive and mechanical changes are triggered by a mechanism detecting alteration of septate junction integrity in Drosophila epithelial cells

    Thomas Esmangart de Bournonville, Mariusz K Jaglarz ... Roland Le Borgne
    In response to disruption of barrier functions mediated by septate junctions, Drosophila epithelial cells restrict endosomal degradation of transmembrane cell adhesion proteins to promote their recycling in order to maintain tissue integrity.

    Engineering vanilloid-sensitivity into the rat TRPV2 channel

    Feng Zhang, Sonya M Hanson ... Kenton J Swartz
    Vanilloid sensitivity has been introduced into the TRPV2 channel, revealing that the gating and permeation properties of this enigmatic TRP channel are remarkably similar to the capsaicin receptor.

    Inflammation drives alternative first exon usage to regulate immune genes including a novel iron-regulated isoform of Aim2

    Elektra K Robinson, Pratibha Jagannatha ... Susan Carpenter
    Alternative first exon usage was the major event observed in macrophages during inflammation, which resulted in the elucidation of a novel isoform and regulatory mechanism of the protein-coding gene, Aim2.
