    Homozygous YME1L1 mutation causes mitochondriopathy with optic atrophy and mitochondrial network fragmentation

    Bianca Hartmann, Timothy Wai ... Angela M Kaindl
    Mutations affecting a nuclear encoded metalloprotease cause of a new form of mitochondriopathy, highlighting the importance of this protease for mitochondrial function in humans.

    Optogenetic control shows that kinetic proofreading regulates the activity of the T cell receptor

    O Sascha Yousefi, Matthias Günther ... Wolfgang WA Schamel
    Controlling the duration of ligand binding to the T cell receptor by light shows that T cells discriminate stimulatory from non-stimulatory ligands by measuring the dynamics of ligand binding.

    How oscillating aerodynamic forces explain the timbre of the hummingbird’s hum and other animals in flapping flight

    Ben J Hightower, Patrick WA Wijnings ... David Lentink
    A first-principles acoustics model reveals how the acoustic spectrum generated by flapping wings originates from oscillating aerodynamic forces, and is validated by in vivo aerodynamic force measurements and acoustic holography.

    Larger but younger fish when growth outpaces mortality in heated ecosystem

    Max Lindmark, Malin Karlsson, Anna Gårdmark
    Elevated growth rates and increased size-at-age leads to a larger population size structure, despite higher mortality and a younger population after three decades of exposure to 5–10°C higher temperatures in a large-scale natural climate change experiment.

    Macrophage PPARγ inhibits Gpr132 to mediate the anti-tumor effects of rosiglitazone

    Wing Yin Cheng, HoangDinh Huynh ... Yihong Wan
    The PPARγ protein acts in macrophages to inhibit breast cancer progression and mediate the anti-tumor effects of rosiglitazone by suppressing Gpr132 – a pro-tumor and pro-inflammatory factor in macrophages.

    Genome-wide CRISPR screens of oral squamous cell carcinoma reveal fitness genes in the Hippo pathway

    Annie Wai Yeeng Chai, Pei San Yee ... Sok Ching Cheong
    Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screens enable the identification of actionable vulnerabilities of oral squamous cell carcinoma, and their unique dependencies on YAP1 and WWTR1 of the Hippo pathway.

    Site-directed MT1-MMP trafficking and surface insertion regulate AChR clustering and remodeling at developing NMJs

    Zora Chui-Kuen Chan, Hiu-Lam Rachel Kwan ... Chi Wai Lee
    Postsynaptic MT1-MMP serves as a molecular switch to synaptogenesis by clearing the surrounding ECM environment that allows effective deposition of nerve-derived synaptogenic factors to induce postsynaptic differentiation at developing NMJs.

    Chromatin is an ancient innovation conserved between Archaea and Eukarya

    Ron Ammar, Dax Torti ... Corey Nislow
    Similarities in the way that nucleosomes are organized into chromatin in archaea and eukaryotes suggest that chromatin might have been involved in gene regulation before its role in DNA packaging evolved.

    Impact of a human gut microbe on Vibrio cholerae host colonization through biofilm enhancement

    Kelsey Barrasso, Denise Chac ... Wai-Leung Ng
    A specific gut microbe Paracoccus aminovorans enhances host colonization of the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae by forming dual-species biofilm structures.

    Functional exploration of heterotrimeric kinesin-II in IFT and ciliary length control in Chlamydomonas

    Shufen Li, Kirsty Y Wan ... Junmin Pan
    Experimental and modelling analyses suggest a non-linear scaling relationship between IFT velocity and ciliary length that can be accounted for by limitation of the motors.
