    Accessibility of the unstructured α-tubulin C-terminal tail is controlled by microtubule lattice conformation

    Takashi Hotta, Morgan L Pimm ... Kristen J Verhey
    Three newly developed biosensors demonstrate that the C-terminal tail of α-tubulin does not freely extend from the microtubule surface as widely thought, but rather is inaccessible along most microtubules in cells.

    In vivo autofluorescence lifetime imaging of spatial metabolic heterogeneities and learning-induced changes in the Drosophila mushroom body

    Philémon Roussel, Mingyi Zhou ... Auguste Genovesio
    Metabolic imaging of the Drosophila mushroom body reveals distinct profiles among Kenyon cell subtypes and detects a subtle learning-associated metabolic change.

    Heterochronic transcription factor expression drives cone-dominant retina development in 13-lined ground squirrels

    Kurt Weir, Pin Lyu ... Seth Blackshaw
    Upregulated expression of transcription factors promoting cone identity in late-stage retinal progenitors drives development of the cone-dominant retina of 13-lined ground squirrels.

    Glycolysis-dependent sulfur metabolism orchestrates morphological plasticity and virulence in fungi

    Dhrumi Shah, Nikita Rewatkar ... Sriram Varahan
    A multidisciplinary approach demonstrates that glycolysis orchestrates fungal morphogenesis and virulence by regulating the de novo biosynthesis of sulfur-containing amino acids, thereby establishing a novel metabolic paradigm.

    A single microRNA miR-195 rescues the arrested B cell development induced by EBF1 deficiency

    Yuji Miyatake, Takeshi Kamakura ... Ai Kotani
    Mir195 enables Ebf1-deficient hematopoietic progenitor cells to mature into B cells, suggesting some miRNA can substitute for transcription factors in differentiation.

    Suppression of interferon signaling via small-molecule modulation of TFAM

    Dionisia Sideris, Husan Lee ... Lin Lyu
    Small-molecule mitochondrial transcription factor A modulators stabilize mtDNA, preventing cytosolic escape and suppressing cGAS-STING interferon signaling, while improving bioenergetics and fibrosis markers in disease models.

    Dorsoventral-mediated Shh induction is required for axolotl limb regeneration

    Sakiya Yamamoto, Saya Furukawa ... Akira Satoh
    Dorsoventral contact in axolotl limb blastemas induces Shh, showing how positional identities cooperate to drive the regeneration process.

    Ly6G+ granulocytes-derived IL-17 limits protective host responses and promotes tuberculosis pathogenesis

    Priya Sharma, Raman Deep Sharma ... Dhiraj Kumar
    The IL-17–Ly6G⁺ granulocyte axis is a key driver and correlate of tuberculosis pathology and represents a potential target for improving vaccine-induced protection and therapeutic outcomes.

    ZFT is the major iron and zinc transporter in Toxoplasma gondii

    Dana Aghabi, Cecilia Gallego Rubio ... Clare R Harding
    Identification of the mechanism of iron and zinc uptake by Toxoplasma gondii to support parasite replication and metabolism.

    Single-cell transcriptomics of X-ray irradiated Drosophila wing discs reveals heterogeneity related to cell-cycle status and cell location

    Joyner Cruz, William Y Sun ... Iswar K Hariharan
    Even in a simple epithelial tissue that is exposed uniformly to X-ray irradiation, cells show marked differences in their transcriptional response based on their location and cell-cycle status.
