    Role of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in neurodevelopmental deficits and experience-dependent plasticity in Xenopus laevis

    Sayali V Gore, Eric J James ... Carlos D Aizenman
    Chronic dysregulation of matrix-metalloproteinase 9, which is associated with some neurodevelopmental disorders, leads to local hyperconnectivity in the developing brain, resulting in altered sensory processing and increased seizure susceptibility.

    C. elegans orthologs MUT-7/CeWRN-1 of Werner syndrome protein regulate neuronal plasticity

    Tsung-Yuan Hsu, Bo Zhang ... Bi-Tzen Juang
    The olfactory learning of Caenorhabditis elegans shows that the exonuclease and helicase domains of human Werner syndrome protein (WRN) coordinately regulate the biogenesis of small interfering RNAs to promote neuronal plasticity.

    Uncovering an allosteric mode of action for a selective inhibitor of human Bloom syndrome protein

    Xiangrong Chen, Yusuf I Ali ... Antony W Oliver
    Discovery and characterisation of a novel allosteric inhibitor-binding site in human Bloom syndrome protein.

    DNA damage—how and why we age?

    Matt Yousefzadeh, Chathurika Henpita ... Laura Niedernhofer
    There is now sufficient and diverse evidence to support a cogent argument that DNA damage plays a causal role in aging.

    Functional partitioning of a liquid-like organelle during assembly of axonemal dyneins

    Chanjae Lee, Rachael M Cox ... John B Wallingford
    DynAPs are liquid-like organelles that are partitioned into functional sub-domains.

    ACE2: Evidence of role as entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2 and implications in comorbidities

    Natalia Zamorano Cuervo, Nathalie Grandvaux
    Despite evidence that ACE2 is the receptor for SARS-CoV-2, its limited expression in the respiratory system challenges the uniqueness of this entry route and role in the multifaceted COVID-19.

    LIS1 determines cleavage plane positioning by regulating actomyosin-mediated cell membrane contractility

    Hyang Mi Moon, Simon Hippenmeyer ... Anthony Wynshaw-Boris
    Novel insights into LIS1-dependent regulation of cell membrane contractility and cleavage axis specification identify a key molecular network regulating mitoses of neural progenitors and somatic cells during development.

    The genetic basis of aneuploidy tolerance in wild yeast

    James Hose, Leah E Escalante ... Audrey P Gasch
    A single gene allele underlies differences in aneuploidy tolerance in yeast.

    Genetic interactions of G-quadruplexes in humans

    Katherine G Zyner, Darcie S Mulhearn ... Shankar Balasubramanian
    For the first time, the spectrum of genes and pathways interacting with alternative DNA structures called G-quadruplexes in humans is revealed highlighting new possibilities for the pursuit of cancer therapies.

    Werner syndrome helicase is a selective vulnerability of microsatellite instability-high tumor cells

    Simone Lieb, Silvia Blaha-Ostermann ... Simon Wöhrle
    Targeting Werner syndrome helicase might constitute a novel opportunity for the treatment of a clinically defined subset of patients harboring MSI-H/MMR-deficient tumors.
