    TRPML1 gating modulation by allosteric mutations and lipids

    Ninghai Gan, Yan Han ... Youxing Jiang
    Design and characterization of allosteric mutations that recapitulate TRPML1 gating and structural insights into PI(4,5)P2 and sphingomyelin inhibition of TRPML1.

    Lateral/caudal ganglionic eminence makes limited contribution to cortical oligodendrocytes

    Jialin Li, Feihong Yang ... Zhuangzhi Zhang
    The contribution of the lateral/caudal ganglionic eminence to the pool of cortical oligodendrocyte precursor cells is minimal.

    Embryonic origins of forebrain oligodendrocytes revisited by combinatorial genetic fate mapping

    Yuqi Cai, Zhirong Zhao ... Miao He
    Novel genetic fate-mapping strategies enabled re-analysis of cortical oligodendrocytes derived from dorsal pallium, LGE/CGE, and MGE/POA, challenging the canonical view of substantial LGE/CGE contributions and the elimination of MGE/POA-derived populations.

    Female-dominated disciplines have lower evaluated research quality and funding success rates, for men and women

    Alex James, Franca Buelow ... Ann Brower
    There is a systemic bias in research evaluation, i.e., disciplines with a higher proportion of women have lower evaluations and funding success for all researchers, regardless of gender.

    Senescent cells inhibit mouse myoblast differentiation via the SASP-lipid 15d-PGJ2 mediated modification and control of HRas

    Swarang Sachin Pundlik, Alok Barik ... Arvind Ramanathan
    Senescent cells release an arachidonic acid-derived electrophilic oxylipin that inhibits myoblast differentiation by covalent modification and activation of HRas.

    Circulating platelets modulate oligodendrocyte progenitor cell differentiation during remyelination

    Amber R Philp, Carolina R Reyes ... Francisco J Rivera
    Transient platelet accumulation supports oligodendrocyte progenitor cell differentiation during myelin repair, while sustained exposure to elevated platelet numbers hampers the generation of remyelinating cells.

    Decoupling of the onset of anharmonicity between a protein and its surface water around 200 K

    Lirong Zheng, Bingxin Zhou ... Liang Hong
    The dynamical transition between a protein and its surface water is decoupled.

    A kidney-hypothalamus axis promotes compensatory glucose production in response to glycosuria

    Tumininu S Faniyan, Xinyi Zhang ... Kavaljit H Chhabra
    Targeting the interaction between the kidneys and brain may increase the efficiency of SGLT2 inhibitors to better manage type 2 diabetes.

    The scheduling of adolescence with Netrin-1 and UNC5C

    Daniel Hoops, Robert Kyne ... Cecilia Flores
    Adolescent brain development involves dopamine axon growth and a coincident change in UNC5c receptor expression, both of which are responsive, in unison, to an environmental signal.

    Single-molecule analysis reveals the phosphorylation of FLS2 governs its spatiotemporal dynamics and immunity

    Yaning Cui, Hongping Qian ... Jinxing Lin
    The phosphorylation of FLS2 may activate flg22-triggered immunity by facilitating the partitioning of FLS2 into functional AtRem1.3-associated nanodomains.
