    Autosomal allelic inactivation at loci with variable replication timing and dosage sensitivity

    Michael B Heskett, Athanasios E Vouzas ... Mathew J Thayer
    Stable allele-specific epigenetic regulation creates cellular mosaicism of numerous autosomal dosage-sensitive genes involved in human neurological and developmental disorders.

    Depletion of extracellular asparagine impairs self-reactive T cells and ameliorates autoimmunity in a murine model of multiple sclerosis

    Peter Georgiev, Sheila Johnson ... Arlene H Sharpe
    A comprehensive investigation of extracellular asparagine utilization highlights its role as a critical regulator of murine CD4+ T cell activation, differentiation, and function.

    Visual working memory guides attention rhythmically in humans

    Jiachen Lu, Yaochun Cai, Xilin Zhang
    Working memory alternates between remembered items in a rhythmic theta cycle.

    Proteomic composition and mutual assembly of the C2a projection in vertebrate motile cilia

    Qian Lyu, Qingchao Li ... Huijie Zhao
    Deficiency in any of the interdependent C2a proteins (CCDC108, MYCBPAP, and CFAP70) collapses this central pair microtubule-associated projection, disrupting vertebrate ciliary movement, and causing primary ciliary dyskinesia phenotypes in mice.

    Lenacapavir-induced lattice hyperstabilization is central to HIV-1 capsid failure at the nuclear pore complex and in the cytoplasm

    Arpa Hudait, Ryan C Burdick ... Gregory A Voth
    Lenacapavir disrupts HIV-1 capsid elasticity, inducing mechanical rupture at the nuclear pore, highlighting that altering viral material properties can be a viable antiviral drug design strategy.

    Canonical and phosphoribosyl ubiquitination coordinate to stabilize a proteinaceous structure surrounding the Legionella-containing vacuole

    Adriana Steinbach, Chetan Mokkapati ... Shaeri Mukherjee
    Two families of ubiquitin ligases secreted by the intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila utilize distinct chemistries to form a stable, ubiquitin-rich structure around the vacuole, which is subsequently disassembled as infection progresses.

    Cribriform plate microenvironment assembles a suppressive myeloid network during EAE-induced neuroinflammation

    Collin Laaker, Martin Hsu ... Zsuzsanna Fabry
    Regulatory immune cells accumulate at the nose-to-brain interface during neuroinflammation, potentially dampening damaging immune responses.

    Optimised genome editing for precise DNA insertion and substitution using prime editors in zebrafish

    Yosuke Ono, Martin Peterka ... Steffen Scholpp
    Nickase and nuclease Prime Editors offer complementary routes for precise zebrafish genome editing, balancing accuracy for substitutions with efficiency for short insertions.
    1. Neuroscience

    Multiple event segmentation mechanisms in the human brain

    Tan T Nguyen, Joset A Etzel ... Jeffrey M Zacks
    The brain uses separate prediction error and prediction uncertainty signals to trigger event boundaries.

    Pervasive relaxed selection on spermatogenesis genes coincident with the evolution of polygyny in gorillas

    Jacob D Bowman, Neide Silva ... Vincent J Lynch
    Genes associated with male reproductive biology appear to be under relaxed selective constraint in a primate species with low sperm competition.
