    Bile salt receptor complex activates a pathogenic type III secretion system

    Peng Li, Giomar Rivera-Cancel ... Kim Orth
    Microbial genetics and biophysical analyses provide insight into an evolutionarily conserved bile salt receptor complex used by pathogenic bacteria to sense their environment.

    Strip1 regulates retinal ganglion cell survival by suppressing Jun-mediated apoptosis to promote retinal neural circuit formation

    Mai Ahmed, Yutaka Kojima, Ichiro Masai
    A neuroprotective role mediated by Strip1 maintains retinal ganglion cells during development, which ensures proper positioning of inner retinal neurons and preserves the laminar architecture of the inner retina.

    Fatty acid β-oxidation is required for the differentiation of larval hematopoietic progenitors in Drosophila

    Satish Kumar Tiwari, Ashish Ganeshlalji Toshniwal ... Lolitika Mandal
    Genetic and molecular analyses reveal the decisive role of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) acting downstream to the ROS-JNK circuit essential for hemocyte progenitor differentiation in Drosophila..

    Tribbles1 is host protective during in vivo mycobacterial infection

    Ffion R Hammond, Amy Lewis ... Philip M Elks
    The pseudokinase Tribbles1 is expressed in human monocytes after mycobacterial challenge and can be manipulated to be host protective against mycobacterial infection, due to control of innate immune cell function, in a zebrafish tuberculosis model.

    Hox genes control vertebrate body elongation by collinear Wnt repression

    Nicolas Denans, Tadahiro Iimura, Olivier Pourquié
    The collinear activation of a subset of posterior Hox genes is responsible for establishing a Wnt/T activity gradient that is required to generate the complete body axis, and hence the full set of segments within a vertebrate embryo.

    GFPT2/GFAT2 and AMDHD2 act in tandem to control the hexosamine pathway

    Virginia Kroef, Sabine Ruegenberg ... Martin Sebastian Denzel
    AMDHD2 restricts the activity of the essential hexosamine pathway in mouse embryonic stem cells where GFPT2/GFAT2 instead of the common paralog GFPT1/GFAT1 controls metabolite entry.

    Single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals distinct patterns of cell state heterogeneity in mouse models of breast cancer

    Syn Kok Yeo, Xiaoting Zhu ... Jun-Lin Guan
    The unraveling of distinct mammary tumor hierarchies in various mouse models of breast cancer emphasizes the need to account for specific cell states with potentially varying therapeutic vulnerabilities in tumors.

    A population of innate myelolymphoblastoid effector cell expanded by inactivation of mTOR complex 1 in mice

    Fei Tang, Peng Zhang ... Pan Zheng
    A novel population of hematopoietic cells unmasked by mTORC1 inactivation reveals a new mechanism of innate immune tolerance and a new consequence of defective hematopoiesis.

    LRRC8A is essential for hypotonicity-, but not for DAMP-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation

    Jack P Green, Tessa Swanton ... David Brough
    Depletion of LRRC8A provides genetic evidence for the importance of Cl- channels in NLRP3 activation.

    SynGAP isoforms differentially regulate synaptic plasticity and dendritic development

    Yoichi Araki, Ingie Hong ... Richard L Huganir
    Detailed SYNGAP1 splice variant characterization uncovers distinct isoform functions and biochemical properties contributing to critical aspects of neurodevelopment, providing previously unknown isoform-level insight into SYNGAP1-related cognitive disorders.
