    1. Chromosomes and Gene Expression

    Oncogene expression from extrachromosomal DNA is driven by copy number amplification and does not require spatial clustering in glioblastoma stem cells

    Karin Purshouse, Elias T Friman ... Wendy A Bickmore
    In glioblastoma stem cells, oncogenes on extrachromosomal DNA do not cluster at distances in keeping with coordinated transcription, with amplified gene expression driven by copy number rather increased transcriptional efficiency.

    Super-resolution microscopy reveals majorly mono- and dimeric presenilin1/γ-secretase at the cell surface

    Abril Angélica Escamilla-Ayala, Ragna Sannerud ... Wim Annaert
    Super-resolution microscopy sets a new strategy to comprehend the membrane organization of γ-secretase at single complex resolution identifying nanodomain associations and its diffusion in situ in the living membrane.

    Vaccination decreases the risk of influenza A virus reassortment but not genetic variation in pigs

    Chong Li, Marie R Culhane ... Montserrat Torremorell
    Vaccination has the potential to decrease swine influenza diversification by restricting influenza virus co-infections and reassortment events in pigs.

    Graded Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent coupling of voltage-gated CaV1.2 channels

    Rose E Dixon, Claudia M Moreno ... Luis F Santana
    The Ca2+-driven functional coupling of CaV1.2 channels is a mechanism of channel memory that may modulate the amplification of Ca2+ influx.

    Labeling proteins inside living cells using external fluorophores for microscopy

    Kai Wen Teng, Yuji Ishitsuka ... Paul R Selvin
    A toxin is used to introduce an otherwise cell-impermeant fluorophore-antibody (or some thing which is equally specific) to bind to an intracellular protein which allows for super resolution imaging and single particle tracking inside the living cell.

    Actin assembly ruptures the nuclear envelope by prying the lamina away from nuclear pores and nuclear membranes in starfish oocytes

    Natalia Wesolowska, Ivan Avilov ... Peter Lenart
    Combined light and electron microscopy reveals a new function for Arp2/3-mediated actin assembly in nuclear envelope rupture, which leads to a separation of nuclear membranes and pores from the lamina.

    Progerin reduces LAP2α-telomere association in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria

    Alexandre Chojnowski, Peh Fern Ong ... Oliver Dreesen
    Expression of the lamina-associated polypeptide α (LAP2α) prevents premature cellular ageing caused by expression of progerin in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.

    bicoid mRNA localises to the Drosophila oocyte anterior by random Dynein-mediated transport and anchoring

    Vítor Trovisco, Katsiaryna Belaya ... Daniel St Johnston
    The localisation of bicoid mRNA depends on its microtubule-independent anchoring at the oocyte anterior.

    A first order phase transition mechanism underlies protein aggregation in mammalian cells

    Arjun Narayanan, Anatoli Meriin ... Ibrahim I Cisse
    Quantitative single molecule and super resolution imaging in mammalian cells reveal a population of precursor aggregates describable by first order phase transition theory.

    Large-scale two-photon imaging revealed super-sparse population codes in the V1 superficial layer of awake monkeys

    Shiming Tang, Yimeng Zhang ... Tai Sing Lee
    Two-photon imaging reveals super-sparse responses to natural images in primate V1, which carry sufficient information for discrimination of the input natural images with high accuracy.
