    Cystathionine-β-synthase is essential for AKT-induced senescence and suppresses the development of gastric cancers with PI3K/AKT activation

    Haoran Zhu, Keefe T Chan ... Jian Kang
    Cystathionine-β-synthase is a novel metabolic regulator of AKT-induced senescence and a potential tumor suppressor in gastric cancer pathogenesis which can be harnessed to target PI3K/AKT-driven cancers.

    Tongue immune compartment analysis reveals spatial macrophage heterogeneity

    Ekaterini Maria Lyras, Karin Zimmermann ... Alexander Mildner
    The tongue is a unique barrier organ, which is constantly exposed to environmental pathogens, and therefore is expected to host an immune cell network ensuring local immune defence, which we characterised during development, health, and disease.

    Oscillatory movement of a dynein-microtubule complex crosslinked with DNA origami

    Shimaa A Abdellatef, Hisashi Tadakuma ... Keiko Hirose
    A pair of microtubules, ensembles of oppositely oriented axonemal dyneins, and inter-microtubule crosslinkers are the minimum components needed for oscillation and repetitive bending motions.

    Live imaging of the co-translational recruitment of XBP1 mRNA to the ER and its processing by diffuse, non-polarized IRE1α

    Silvia Gómez-Puerta, Roberto Ferrero ... Franka Voigt
    Development of a live single-molecule imaging approach to visualize XBP1 mRNAs, which are recruited for translation on the ER and efficiently spliced in the absence of large IRE1α foci.

    Activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 is involved in pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy

    Yan Zou, Miaomiao Zhang ... Bing Han
    Activation of TRPV4 induced increases in Ca2+ influx, activated CaMKII, enhanced pro-inflammatory NFκB-NLRP3 signaling, and promoted inflammation response, thus contributing to pathological cardiac remodeling.

    Endoplasmic reticulum stress activates human IRE1α through reversible assembly of inactive dimers into small oligomers

    Vladislav Belyy, Iratxe Zuazo-Gaztelu ... Peter Walter
    Stress sensors in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum respond to the accumulation of unfolded proteins by briefly forming small phosphorylation-competent oligomers and dissolving back into active dimers.

    MAF1, a repressor of RNA polymerase III-dependent transcription, regulates bone mass

    Ellen Phillips, Naseer Ahmad ... Deborah L Johnson
    Identification of a novel role for the transcriptional repressor, MAF1, and RNA polymerase III-dependent transcription, in osteoblast differentiation, mineralization, and bone biology.

    On demand expression control of endogenous genes with DExCon, DExogron and LUXon reveals differential dynamics of Rab11 family members

    Jakub Gemperle, Thomas S Harrison ... Patrick T Caswell
    DExCon, LUXon, and DExogron approaches simultaneously block endogenous gene expression and permit tuning of re-expression levels in time and space; proof-of-principle reveals unforeseen differences in protein kinetics, cargo handling, and cell migration regulation between closely related Rab11 family members.

    Intrinsic excitability mechanisms of neuronal ensemble formation

    Tzitzitlini Alejandre-García, Samuel Kim ... Rafael Yuste
    Optogenetic and electrical stimulation of primary visual cortex neurons reveals synaptic and cell-intrinsic mechanisms that underlie neuronal ensemble formation.
