    Somatosensory neurons integrate the geometry of skin deformation and mechanotransduction channels to shape touch sensing

    Alessandro Sanzeni, Samata Katta ... Massimo Vergassola
    Nonlinear elasticity of skin tissues and somatosensory neural responses are combined to predict and test C. elegans processing of touch stimuli and modifications due to changes in the body mechanics.

    Robust manipulation of the behavior of Drosophila melanogaster by a fungal pathogen in the laboratory

    Carolyn Elya, Tin Ching Lok ... Michael Eisen
    A newly described isolate of the behavior-manipulating fly pathogen Entomophthora muscae that naturally infects fruit flies can be cultured in the lab, enabling molecular investigation of how microbes induce behavior changes in animal hosts.

    Human immunocompetent Organ-on-Chip platforms allow safety profiling of tumor-targeted T-cell bispecific antibodies

    S Jordan Kerns, Chaitra Belgur ... Lauriane Cabon
    Novel human models of the lung and intestine are described and validated as preclinical in vitro tools for predictive profiling of T-cell-bispecific antibodies with expected on-target off-tumor risk.

    Neuronal regulated ire-1-dependent mRNA decay controls germline differentiation in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Mor Levi-Ferber, Rewayd Shalash ... Sivan Henis-Korenblit
    Neuronal circuits can be disrupted by ire-1-dependent mRNA decay to affect germline tumor cell identity by regulating cross-tissue communication in Caenorhabditis elegans.

    Effective dynamics of nucleosome configurations at the yeast PHO5 promoter

    Michael Roland Wolff, Andrea Schmid ... Ulrich Gerland
    The integration of multi-nucleosome configuration data with histone turnover and new chromatin accessibility data by systematically investigated 'regulated on-off-slide' models reveals promoter state transitions regulated by just one assembly process.
    1. Plant Biology

    Computational modeling of cambium activity provides a regulatory framework for simulating radial plant growth

    Ivan Lebovka, Bruno Hay Mele ... Thomas Greb
    Radial plant growth produces large parts of terrestrial biomass and can be computationally simulated with the help of an instructive framework of intercellular communication loops.

    Limited inhibition of multiple nodes in a driver network blocks metastasis

    Ali Ekrem Yesilkanal, Dongbo Yang ... Marsha R Rosner
    Low-dose treatment targeting multiple pathways of a pro-metastatic signaling network reduces the metastatic output of heterogeneous tumors while minimizing compensatory network activation.

    Endocytic recycling is central to circadian collagen fibrillogenesis and disrupted in fibrosis

    Joan Chang, Adam Pickard ... Karl E Kadler
    Secretion and fibrillogenesis of collagen-I are separately controlled molecular pathways in the fibroblast, where surprisingly endocytic recycling is required for fibril formation and is increased in fibrotic fibroblasts.

    Systematic identification of cancer cell vulnerabilities to natural killer cell-mediated immune surveillance

    Matthew F Pech, Linda E Fong ... Jeffrey Settleman
    CRISPR/Cas9 screens reveal a role for the ubiquitin ligase substrate adaptor DCAF15 in the immune surveillance of cancer cells by natural killer cells.

    Intrinsic and extrinsic cues time somite progenitor contribution to the vertebrate primary body axis

    Lara Busby, Guillermo Serrano Nájera, Benjamin John Steventon
    Cells know when to contribute to the maturing embryonic body axis by adjusting an internal timer to the conditions around them.
