    Novel regulators of islet function identified from genetic variation in mouse islet Ca2+ oscillations

    Christopher H Emfinger, Lauren E Clark ... Alan D Attie
    Analysis of islet calcium oscillation responses will provide the field with a resource with which to determine the strain of interest for their specific islet biology questions.

    Regulation of defective mitochondrial DNA accumulation and transmission in C. elegans by the programmed cell death and aging pathways

    Sagen Flowers, Rushali Kothari ... Joel H Rothman
    Mitochondrial quality control in the germline is mediated by regulators of both programmed cell death and the aging program.

    Genetically engineered mesenchymal stem cells as a nitric oxide reservoir for acute kidney injury therapy

    Haoyan Huang, Meng Qian ... Zongjin Li
    Engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could produce mutant β-galactosidase and trigger nitric oxide (NO) release when the NO prodrug is systemically administered, which can achieve NO release in a precise spatiotemporal manner and augment the therapeutic efficiency of MSCs.

    The FAM104 proteins VCF1/2 promote the nuclear localization of p97/VCP

    Maria Körner, Susanne R Meyer ... Alexander Buchberger
    The previously uncharacterized, evolutionarily conserved FAM104 proteins VCF1/2 stimulate the nuclear import of p97/VCP, with their absence causing reduced nuclear p97/VCP levels, slow growth, and hypersensitivity to pharmacological inhibition of p97/VCP.

    Removal of extracellular human amyloid beta aggregates by extracellular proteases in C. elegans

    Elisabeth Jongsma, Anita Goyala ... Collin Yvès Ewald
    A novel Caenorhabditis elegans model that secretes human amyloid beta forms aggregates in the extracellular matrix, which are removed by activation of extracellular matrix dynamics.

    The chemorepellent, SLIT2, bolsters innate immunity against Staphylococcus aureus

    Vikrant K Bhosle, Chunxiang Sun ... Lisa A Robinson
    SLIT2, a prototypic neuro-repellent, spatiotemporally coordinates host defense against Staphylococcus aureus infection by priming neutrophils and stimulating release of reactive oxygen species and secondary and tertiary granules, potently enhancing bactericidal actions of neutrophils.
