    The MODY-associated KCNK16 L114P mutation increases islet glucagon secretion and limits insulin secretion resulting in transient neonatal diabetes and glucose dyshomeostasis in adults

    Arya Y Nakhe, Prasanna K Dadi ... David A Jacobson
    A mouse model of maturity-onset diabetes of the young illuminates that overactive TALK-1 channels limit β-cell calcium influx through membrane potential hyperpolarization, which blunts insulin secretion and causes glucose intolerance.

    N-cadherin directs the collective Schwann cell migration required for nerve regeneration through Slit2/3-mediated contact inhibition of locomotion

    Julian JA Hoving, Elizabeth Harford-Wright ... Alison C Lloyd
    N-cadherin and Slit2/3/Robo interactions provide the outward force to drive collective Schwann cell migration during nerve regeneration, identifying a dual role for N-cadherin in both adhesion and repulsion processes during Schwann cell collective migration.

    Structural insights into the GTP-driven monomerization and activation of a bacterial LRRK2 homolog using allosteric nanobodies

    Christian Galicia, Giambattista Guaitoli ... Wim Versées
    Conformation-specific nanobodies enable to capture and solve the first GTP-bound active structure of a bacterial homolog of the Parkinson-associated LRRK2 protein, providing insights into the activation mechanism of these proteins.

    Current perspectives on the multiple roles of osteoclasts: Mechanisms of osteoclast–osteoblast communication and potential clinical implications

    Valentina Daponte, Katrin Henke, Hicham Drissi
    A comprehensive review focusing on the role of osteoclasts as active regulators of bone homeostasis by influencing osteoblast function explores the currently known mechanisms and coupling factors involved in osteoclast–osteoblast communication and their potential as treatments for bone diseases.

    The neuronal calcium sensor NCS-1 regulates the phosphorylation state and activity of the Gα chaperone and GEF Ric-8A

    Daniel Muñoz-Reyes, Levi J McClelland ... Maria Jose Sanchez-Barrena
    Biochemical, biophysical, and structural approach to determine the molecular basis of the calcium-sensitive regulation of the Gα chaperone and guanine exchange factor Ric-8A by the neuronal calcium sensor NCS-1.

    Molecular portraits of colorectal cancer morphological regions

    Eva Budinská, Martina Hrivňáková ... Vlad Popovici
    Tumor morphological patterns are linked to distinct transcriptional profiles and may indicate the need for a multi-site tumor sampling in gene expression-based studies.

    The chemorepellent, SLIT2, bolsters innate immunity against Staphylococcus aureus

    Vikrant K Bhosle, Chunxiang Sun ... Lisa A Robinson
    SLIT2, a prototypic neuro-repellent, spatiotemporally coordinates host defense against Staphylococcus aureus infection by priming neutrophils and stimulating release of reactive oxygen species and secondary and tertiary granules, potently enhancing bactericidal actions of neutrophils.

    Coordination between ECM and cell-cell adhesion regulates the development of islet aggregation, architecture, and functional maturation

    Wilma Tixi, Maricela Maldonado ... Hung Ping Shih
    ECM-Itgb1 signaling and cell-cell adhesion are pivotal and coordinate together to regulate pancreatic islet aggregation, architecture, and functional maturation during development.
