BRCA1 is an essential regulator of heart function and survival following myocardial infarction

The tumour suppressor BRCA1 is mutated in familial breast and ovarian cancer. Now, Shuklaet al.demonstrate that mice lacking BRCA1 in cardiomyocytes are more sensitive to ischaemia than control mice, and that BRCA1 is elevated in human tissues exposed to ischaemia, suggesting a cardioprotective role for BRCA1.

Behavioral devaluation by local resistance to dopamine

The dopamine motivating animals to perform a current behavior also desensitizes local D₂ dopamine receptors. Dopamine signaling is less effective in subsequent rounds, resulting in repetition-induced devaluation of behavior.

Neutrophil-induced ferroptosis promotes tumor necrosis in glioblastoma progression

Tumour necrosis is associated with tumour aggressiveness and poor outcomes in patients with glioblastomas, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, the authors show that in a xenograft mouse model of glioblastoma, tumour-infiltrating neutrophils amplify necrosis by promoting myeloperoxidase-induced tumour cell ferroptosis.

Standard assessments of climate forecast skill can be misleading

Many different methods have been developed to forecast climate phenomena like the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) which makes a fair comparison of their capabilities crucial. In this perspective, the authors discuss how choices in the evaluation method can lead to an overestimated perceived skill of ENSO forecasts.

An optogenetic gene expression system with rapid activation and deactivation kinetics

Optogenetic systems permit the temporal and spatial control of gene expression using light. A variant of the LOV domain–containing EL222 protein displays responsive blue light–gated transcriptional control of genes in zebrafish and in mammalian cell lines.
