  • Insulin signaling plays a crucial role in coordinating skeletal development with whole‑body energy metabolism. Here, the authors use phosphoproteomics to show insulin-signaling rewiring in aged, insulin-resistant bone and identify defective phosphorylation of AFF4 as a key mechanism for regulating gene-specific transcriptional activation.

  • Elevated levels of interleukin-33 have been associated with poor prognosis in patients with glioma. Here the authors show that glioma-derived IL-33 modulates a pro-tumorigenic immune microenvironment by activating resident and recruiting peripheral innate immune cells.

  • In a GWAS study of 32,438 adults, the authors discovered five novel loci for intracranial volume and confirmed two known signals. Variants for intracranial volume were also related to childhood and adult cognitive function and to Parkinson's disease, and enriched near genes involved in growth pathways, including PI3K-AKT signaling.

  • Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein serine/threonine kinase (ATR) is a mediator of the cellular replication stress response that, upon activation, initiates a cascade of coordinated reactions that ultimately enables DNA repair. This biological function makes ATR an attractive therapeutic target in cancers with elevated replication stress or DNA-repair deficiency. This Review discusses the currently available results from clinical trials testing ATR inhibitors as well as challenges and solutions in the development of this therapeutic class.

  • The hippocampus in mammalian brain varies in size across individuals. Here, Hibar and colleagues perform a genome-wide association meta-analysis to find six genetic loci with significant association to hippocampus volume.

  • The authors defined a roadmap for investigating the genetic covariance between structural or functional brain phenotypes and risk for psychiatric disorders. Their proof-of-concept study using the largest available common variant data sets for schizophrenia and volumes of several (mainly subcortical) brain structures did not find evidence of genetic overlap.
