    Novel protein markers of androgen activity in humans: proteomic study of plasma from young chemically castrated men

    Aleksander Giwercman, K Barbara Sahlin ... Johan Malm
    Three new protein markers of testosterone action identified by us, may prove to be valuable as clinical tools in identifying men with testosterone deficiency and in monitoring androgen replacement therapy.

    Specific depletion of the motor protein KIF5B leads to deficits in dendritic transport, synaptic plasticity and memory

    Junjun Zhao, Albert Hiu Ka Fok ... Kwok-On Lai
    Two homologous kinesin motors, KIF5A and KIF5B, have distinct functions in dendritic spine morphogenesis, and KIF5B plays a role in synaptic plasticity and memory.

    Cytokinin transfer by a free-living mirid to Nicotiana attenuata recapitulates a strategy of endophytic insects

    Christoph Brütting, Cristina Maria Crava ... Ian T Baldwin
    Cytokinin-dependent manipulation of plant metabolism is a strategy employed not only by gallers and leaf-miners but also by a free-living insect, Tupiocoris notatus, which directly transfers cytokinins at feeding sites to manipulate its host plant.

    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.

    Computational and cellular studies reveal structural destabilization and degradation of MLH1 variants in Lynch syndrome

    Amanda B Abildgaard, Amelie Stein ... Rasmus Hartmann-Petersen
    Biophysical modeling, performed in silico, can predict the abundance, metabolic stability, and function of MLH1 inside living cells.

    Methionine restriction breaks obligatory coupling of cell proliferation and death by an oncogene Src in Drosophila

    Hiroshi Nishida, Morihiro Okada ... Sa Kan Yoo
    Src, an oncogene, promotes both cell proliferation and cell death simultaneously, which can be regulated by dietary methionine.

    A role for cerebellum in the hereditary dystonia DYT1

    Rachel Fremont, Ambika Tewari ... Kamran Khodakhah
    The most common inherited dystonia, DYT1, is likely caused primarily by the dysfunction of the cerebellum rather than the basal ganglia.

    Determining the scale at which variation in a single gene changes population yields

    Erica McGale, Henrique Valim ... Ian T Baldwin
    Variation in the gene NaMPK4 in plant populations increases reproductive yield, an effect which appears to be independent of soil water availability, neighbor-scale interactions and associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

    Unraveling the link between neuropathy target esterase NTE/SWS, lysosomal storage diseases, inflammation, abnormal fatty acid metabolism, and leaky brain barrier

    Mariana I Tsap, Andriy S Yatsenko ... Halyna R Shcherbata
    Drosophila model reveals that NTE/SWS-associated neurodegeneration is a lysosomal storage disorder accompanied by a leaky brain permeability barrier, abnormal fatty acid metabolism, and inflammation.
