    Control of protein synthesis and memory by GluN3A-NMDA receptors through inhibition of GIT1/mTORC1 assembly

    María J Conde-Dusman, Partha N Dey ... Isabel Perez-Otaño
    Non-conventional NMDA receptors containing GluN3A subunits place constraints on the capacity of the brain to encode lasting memories through regulation of synaptic GIT1/mTOR signaling complexes.

    mTOR-dependent translation drives tumor infiltrating CD8+ effector and CD4+ Treg cells expansion

    Benedetta De Ponte Conti, Annarita Miluzio ... Sara Ricciardi
    In the tumor microenvironment, only specific subsets of cytotoxic and immunosuppressive tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes are endowed with active translation.

    Intestinal goblet cells sample and deliver lumenal antigens by regulated endocytic uptake and transcytosis

    Jenny K Gustafsson, Jazmyne E Davis ... Rodney D Newberry
    Goblet cells use distinct receptors and signaling pathways to independently perform mucus secretion and endocytosis of fluid-phase cargo with atypical trafficking to deliver lumenal substances to the immune system.

    Duox-generated reactive oxygen species activate ATR/Chk1 to induce G2 arrest in Drosophila tracheoblasts

    Amrutha Kizhedathu, Piyush Chhajed ... Arjun Guha
    Reactive oxygen species can activate the ATR/Chk1 pathway in the absence of detectable DNA damage and without a requirement for DNA damage response proteins.

    Sex determination gene transformer regulates the male-female difference in Drosophila fat storage via the adipokinetic hormone pathway

    Lianna W Wat, Zahid S Chowdhury ... Elizabeth J Rideout
    Drosophila females store more fat than males because the presence of a functional Transformer protein in females limits adipokinetic hormone production and pathway activity.

    Growth-dependent signals drive an increase in early G1 cyclin concentration to link cell cycle entry with cell growth

    Robert A Sommer, Jerry T DeWitt ... Douglas R Kellogg
    A G1 cyclin shows key properties expected of a protein that could link cell cycle progression to cell growth.

    Ciliary Hedgehog signaling regulates cell survival to build the facial midline

    Shaun R Abrams, Jeremy F Reiter
    Genetic analysis identifies the origins of midface defects in mouse models of ciliopathies, revealing a role for ciliary Hedgehog signaling in cell survival.

    Surface-associated antigen induces permeabilization of primary mouse B-cells and lysosome exocytosis facilitating antigen uptake and presentation to T-cells

    Fernando Y Maeda, Jurriaan JH van Haaren ... Wenxia Song
    The strength by which mouse B-cells bind surface-associated antigen determines how much their plasma membrane is permeabilized and also the extent of a resealing response involving lysosomal exocytosis, which promotes antigen extraction for intracellular processing and T-cell presentation.

    Human Erbb2-induced Erk activity robustly stimulates cycling and functional remodeling of rat and human cardiomyocytes

    Nicholas Strash, Sophia DeLuca ... Nenad Bursac
    Comparative analysis of cardiac mitogenic pathways identified a potent human gene that is effective at driving in vitro cell cycle activation across species and cell culture systems.
