    Class-A penicillin binding proteins do not contribute to cell shape but repair cell-wall defects

    Antoine Vigouroux, Baptiste Cordier ... Sven van Teeffelen
    Class-A penicillin-binding proteins are dispensable for rod-like cell-shape but essential for mechanical integrity by sensing and repairing cell-wall defects locally, as investigated in the model system Escherichia coli.

    Membrane-partitioned cell wall synthesis in mycobacteria

    Alam García-Heredia, Takehiro Kado ... M Sloan Siegrist
    Mycobacteria employ plasma membrane compartments to organize their cell wall synthesis, and the finalized cell wall compartmentalizes the plasma membrane to promote an environment conducive to its own synthesis.

    Cerebral chemoarchitecture shares organizational traits with brain structure and function

    Benjamin Hänisch, Justine Y Hansen ... Sofie Louise Valk
    Dimensionality reduction techniques reveal how the organization of neurotransmitter receptor and transporter co-expression in the human brain may bridge the gap between brain structure and function.

    Heritability and cross-species comparisons of human cortical functional organization asymmetry

    Bin Wan, Şeyma Bayrak ... Sofie L Valk
    Human brain suggests an asymmetric organization along a functional cortical axis describing a hierarchical functional trajectory from perceptual/action to abstract cognition, which is heritable and comparable with macaque brain, suggesting (phylo)genetic conservation and adaptation.

    Global change in brain state during spontaneous and forced walk in Drosophila is composed of combined activity patterns of different neuron classes

    Sophie Aimon, Karen Y Cheng ... Ilona C Grunwald Kadow
    Major neuron classes are activated when the fly walks, whether it chooses or is forced to do so.

    The flow responsive transcription factor Klf2 is required for myocardial wall integrity by modulating Fgf signaling

    Seyed Javad Rasouli, Mohamed El-Brolosy ... Didier Y Stainier
    Endocardial Klf2 regulates cardiomyocyte adhesion and myocardial wall integrity by modulating FGF signaling in zebrafish.

    Tumor-infiltrating nerves functionally alter brain circuits and modulate behavior in a mouse model of head-and-neck cancer

    Jeffrey Barr, Austin Walz ... Paola D Vermeer
    Nerve tracing and behavioral studies in tumor-bearing mice together with transcriptional and functional analysis reveal cancer-induced central and peripheral neuronal alterations that influence behavior.

    Switch-like and persistent memory formation in individual Drosophila larvae

    Amanda Lesar, Javan Tahir ... Marc Gershow
    A new computer controlled behavioral assay and integrated training chamber for individual Drosophila larvae shows that larvae learn all at once and create long-term memories that last overnight.

    Framework for rapid comparison of extracellular vesicle isolation methods

    Dmitry Ter-Ovanesyan, Maia Norman ... David R Walt
    Measuring surface proteins on extracellular vesicles enables quantitative comparison of different isolation methods and optimization of size exclusion chromatography.

    New approach for membrane protein reconstitution into peptidiscs and basis for their adaptability to different proteins

    Gabriella Angiulli, Harveer Singh Dhupar ... Thomas Walz
    Cryo-EM structures reveal how the peptidisc scaffold can adapt to different membrane proteins, establishing it as a universal membrane mimetic to stabilize membrane proteins in solution.
