    Intraflagellar transport protein IFT172 contains a C-terminal ubiquitin-binding U-box-like domain involved in ciliary signaling

    Nevin K Zacharia, Stefanie Kuhns ... Esben Lorentzen
    The IFT172 C-terminus bridges IFT-A and IFT-B complexes through mutually exclusive interactions with IFT140 and IFT144, and harbors a U-box-like domain linking intraflagellar transport to ubiquitin-dependent ciliary signaling.

    From multiplicity of infection to force of infection in sparsely sampled high-transmission Plasmodium falciparum populations

    Qi Zhan, Kathryn E Tiedje ... Mercedes Pascual
    Queuing theory links multiplicity of infection (MOI) to force of infection (FOI), enabling the estimation of transmission intensity for falciparum malaria (and other infectious diseases) from sparsely sampled surveys.

    Dopamine and its receptor DcDop2 are involved in the coevolution between ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ and Diaphorina citri

    Xiaoge Nian, Jiayun Li ... Songdou Zhang
    CLas hijacks the DA/DcDop2-miR-31a-AKH-JH signaling cascade to improve D. citri lipid metabolism and fecundity, while simultaneously promoting its replication.

    Paraventricular thalamus hyperactivity mediates stress-induced sensitization of unlearned fear but not stress-enhanced fear learning (SEFL)

    Kenji J Nishimura, Denisse Paredes ... Michael R Drew
    Chemogenetic and in vivo recording approaches reveal how persistent hyperactivity in the posterior paraventricular thalamus promotes sensitization of fear responses to unlearned threats after stress exposure.

    Exploration of precision coregulator TR-FRET identifies diverse signatures for LXR ligands relevant to discovery of nonlipogenic ABCA1 inducers

    Megan S Laham, Martha S Ackerman-Berrier ... Gregory RJ Thatcher
    Coregulator TR-FRET profiling reveals ligand-specific LXR signaling signatures that can guide the therapeutic design of ABCA1-inducing LXR agonists with attenuated risk of hepatic lipogenesis.
    1. Neuroscience

    Neural signatures of model-based and model-free reinforcement learning across prefrontal cortex and striatum

    Bruno Miranda, James L Butler ... Steven W Kennerley
    Single-neuron recordings reveal that anterior cingulate cortex and caudate nucleus encode the interaction between rewards, state transitions, and choices that underlies flexible, goal-directed decision-making.

    Esr1-dependent signaling and transcriptional maturation in the medial preoptic area of the hypothalamus shape the development of mating behavior during adolescence

    Koichi Hashikawa, Yoshiko Hashikawa ... Garret D Stuber
    Esr1 directs adolescent transcriptional maturation of medial preoptic GABAergic neurons, enabling the normal development of mating behavior in male and female mice.

    Tunable Bessel beam two-photon fluorescence microscopy for high-speed volumetric imaging of brain dynamics

    Mengyang Jacky Li, Jinghui Wang ... Tian-Ming Fu
    Tunable Bessel beam two-photon fluorescence microscopy enables high-speed volumetric intravital imaging of subcellular dynamics within living mouse brains with fully tunable spatial resolution and volume coverage, allowing flexible sampling and measurements of vascular, neuronal, and immune dynamics.

    Multi-timescale neural adaptation underlying long-term musculoskeletal reorganization

    Roland Philipp, Yuki Hara ... Kazuhiko Seki
    Long-term motor recovery after musculoskeletal alteration relies on gradually developing novel compensatory movements to overcome the rigid, maladaptive timing of stable muscle synergies.

    Enterovirus D68 2A protease causes nuclear pore complex dysfunction and independently contributes to motor neuron toxicity

    Katrina M Zinn, Mathew W McLaren ... Matthew J Elrick
    Enterovirus D68, a cause of acute flaccid myelitis, disrupts the composition and function of the nuclear pore complex primarily through its 2A protease, which is also toxic to motor neurons.
