    Ubiquitination-activated TAB–TAK1–IKK–NF-κB axis modulates gene expression for cell survival in the lysosomal damage response

    Akinori Endo, Chikage Takahashi ... Yukiko Yoshida
    Ubiquitin accumulated on damaged lysosomes activates TAB–TAK1–IKK–NF-κB axis and remodels proteome through gene expression for cell survival and cell-cell communication.

    Maintenance of neuronal TDP-43 expression requires axonal lysosome transport

    Veronica H Ryan, Sydney Lawton ... Michael Emmerson Ward
    Protein, but not mRNA, levels of neurodegenerative disease-associated protein TDP-43 are decreased upon knockdown of BORC, a complex that is required for the anterograde transport of lysosomes.

    Gene regulatory mechanisms guiding bifurcation of inhibitory and excitatory neuron lineages in the mouse anterior brainstem

    Sami Kilpinen, Lassi Virtanen ... Juha Partanen
    Changes of the chromatin structure suggests how the fate selector transcription factors are activated and how they guide differentiation of GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons in the anterior brainstem.

    Cellular characterization of the mouse collecting lymphatic vessels reveals that lymphatic muscle cells are the innate pacemaker cells

    Scott D Zawieja, Grace A Pea ... Michael J Davis
    Lymphatic muscle cells, but not CD34+ adventitial cells, exhibited pacemaker behaviors including pressure-dependent depolarization, pressure-dependent calcium mobilization during diastole, and propagated contraction waves induced by focal, optogenetic depolarization via channel rhodopsin2.
