Focus on Neurovascular Interactions

Blood vessels in the nervous system are not simply neutral bystanders that only support the changing needs of neurons. This Focus from Nature Neuroscience discusses our emerging knowledge of how neurovascular interactions shape neuronal function both in health and disease.

Tight finite-key analysis for quantum cryptography OPEN
Marco Tomamichel, Charles Ci Wen Lim, Nicolas Gisin and Renato Renner
Although they offer significant promise, practical implementations of quantum key distribution are often not as rigorous as theory predicts. This study demonstrates how two instances of such discrepancies can be resolved by taking advantage of an enotropic formulation of the uncertainty principle.

ELL facilitates RNA polymerase II pause site entry and release OPEN
Jung S. Byun, Temesgen D. Fufa, Clay Wakano, Alfonso Fernandez, Cynthia M. Haggerty, Myong-Hee Sung and Kevin Gardner
The super elongation complex, which is involved in transcriptional elongation, contains the Eleven-nineteen Lysine-rich Leukemia protein (ELL). In this study, ELL is shown to stabilize RNA polymerase II prior to recruitment into the super elongation complex, suggesting ELL has a role in early transcription elongation.

Propagation stability of self-reconstructing Bessel beams enables contrast-enhanced imaging in thick media
Florian O. Fahrbach and Alexander Rohrbach
Self-reconstructing laser beams can propagate deep into thick media, making them ideal for light-sheet microscopy of organic matter. By considering the rings of self-reconstructing Bessel beams, Fahrbach and Rohrbach present a technique for improving the contrast and resolution of this approach.

A cobalt complex redox shuttle for dye-sensitized solar cells with high open-circuit potentials OPEN
Jun-Ho Yum, Etienne Baranoff, Florian Kessler, Thomas Moehl, Shahzada Ahmad, Takeru Bessho, Arianna Marchioro, Elham Ghadiri, Jacques-E. Moser, Chenyi Yi, Md. K. Nazeeruddin and Michael Grätzel
Dye-sensitized solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional inorganic semiconductor-based solar cells. Yum et al. use a molecularly engineered cobalt complex as a redox mediator to achieve an open-circuit voltage of over 1,000 mV in a mesoscopic dye-sensitized solar cell.

c-Src and IL-6 inhibit osteoblast differentiation and integrate IGFBP5 signalling
Barbara Peruzzi, Alfredo Cappariello, Andrea Del Fattore, Nadia Rucci, Fabrizio De Benedetti and Anna Teti
Osteoblast maturation is regulated by c-Src and IL-6, but how these signalling pathways are integrated is not known. Here c-Src is shown to induce 1GFBP5 in immature osteoblasts in a STAT3 and IL-6-dependent manner, in mature osteoblasts, which express lower levels of c-Src, this signalling is lost.

Observation of the inverse spin Hall effect in silicon  OPEN
Kazuya Ando and Eiji Saitoh
The spin Hall effect is a spin current induced by an electric current, and its occurrence in semiconductors is a promising route to controlling spins and their transport. Here, the inverse spin Hall effect, in which an electric current is induced by a spin current, is observed in silicon for the first time.

Electrically driven photon antibunching from a single molecule at room temperature
Maximilian Nothaft, Steffen Höhla, Fedor Jelezko, Norbert Frühauf, Jens Pflaum and Jörg Wrachtrup
Single-photon emitters are important for developing quantum technologies, but their integration with existing devices requires them to be driven by electric fields. Here, an organic light-emitting diode is presented that emits single photons from guest molecules in an applied electric field at room temperature.

Evidence for the late formation of hydrous asteroids from young meteoritic carbonates
Wataru Fujiya, Naoji Sugiura, Hideyuki Hotta, Koji Ichimura and Yuji Sano
Dating the age of meteorites can tell us when asteroids formed, but uncertainty remains in the Mn–Cr chronometry. This study presents a method for improving Mn/Cr determination and reports an age of 4,563.4 million years ago for carbonates in CM chondrites, which is younger than previous estimates.

ABL1 regulates spindle orientation in adherent cells and mammalian skin OPEN
Shigeru Matsumura, Mayumi Hamasaki, Takuya Yamamoto, Miki Ebisuya, Mizuho Sato, Eisuke Nishida and Fumiko Toyoshima
A systematic approach for identifying the genes responsible for the regulation of spindle orientation in mammals has been lacking. Now, Matsumura et al. perform a kinase-targeting RNAi screen and identify ABL1, which through the direct phosphorylation of NuMa, is a novel regulator of spindle orientation.
