    Discrete GPCR-triggered endocytic modes enable β-arrestins to flexibly regulate cell signaling

    Benjamin Barsi-Rhyne, Aashish Manglik, Mark von Zastrow
    Two modes of GPCR endocytosis by β-arrestin are differentially coupled to downstream signaling.

    Osteocytes regulate senescence of bone and bone marrow

    Peng Ding, Chuan Gao ... Junjie Gao
    Partial ablation of osteocytes alters lineage cell specifications in bone and bone marrow, resulting in the acceleration of skeletal aging.

    Modeling single-cell phenotypes links yeast stress acclimation to transcriptional repression and pre-stress cellular states

    Andrew C Bergen, Rachel A Kocik ... Audrey P Gasch
    Counterintuitively, activation of the transcriptional repressor of growth-promoting genes is important for yeast cell acclimation to salt stress, such that cells with larger activation of the repressor tend to have faster growth acclimation after stress.

    LRG1 is an adipokine that promotes insulin sensitivity and suppresses inflammation

    Chan Hee J Choi, William Barr ... Paul Cohen
    Profiling the adipocyte secretome reveals LRG1 as a novel adipokine that promotes insulin sensitivity and modulates inflammation triggered by release of cytochrome c from dead/dying cells, describing a new pathway at the intersection of obesity and its systemic sequelae.

    Super-resolution imaging uncovers the nanoscopic segregation of polarity proteins in epithelia

    Pierre Mangeol, Dominique Massey-Harroche ... André Le Bivic
    Proteins pivotal to epithelial polarization organize in separated clusters, simplifying the current view by showing that a small fraction of the many protein–protein interactions proposed are prominent in mature epithelia.

    Mettl3-mediated m6A modification of Fgf16 restricts cardiomyocyte proliferation during heart regeneration

    Fu-Qing Jiang, Kun Liu ... Xu-Feng Qi
    Mettl3 post-transcriptionally reduces Fgf16 mRNA levels through an m6A-Ythdf2-dependen pathway, thereby controlling cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration.

    A role for the centrosome in regulating the rate of neuronal efferocytosis by microglia in vivo

    Katrin Möller, Max Brambach ... Francesca Peri
    High-resolution imaging of microglia in zebrafish reveals a rate-limiting role for the centrosome in the engulfment of apoptotic neurons during brain development.

    High-resolution secretory timeline from vesicle formation at the Golgi to fusion at the plasma membrane in S. cerevisiae

    Robert M Gingras, Abigail M Sulpizio ... Anthony Bretscher
    The first quantitative live-cell microscopy this work shows depicting the order of events preceding secretion in budding yeast.

    Kap-β2/Transportin mediates β-catenin nuclear transport in Wnt signaling

    Woong Y Hwang, Valentyna Kostiuk ... Mustafa K Khokha
    β-catenin, a key effector of the Wnt signaling pathway, is transported into the nucleus via a direct interaction between its PY-NLS and TNPO1 offering new potential targets for cancer therapeutics.

    Crosshair, semi-automated targeting for electron microscopy with a motorised ultramicrotome

    Kimberly Meechan, Wei Guan ... Yannick Schwab
    A new method using a motorised ultramicrotome and open-source software allows semi-automatic targeting of regions of interest for electron microscopy.
