Fireflies that gather in swarms synchronize their flashing with rhythmic periodicity and provide insights into a new mechanism for the emergence of synchrony and periodicity.
The review proposes a novel mechanistic distinction between first- and second-order traveling waves that subserves a same canonical computation by ordering neuronal processing to impose a computational syntax.
A key finding is that MCAK binds to the proximal region of GTP cap where GDP‧Pi-tubulins accumulate, in addition to curved protofilaments at the distalmost tip.
The path of potassium through an ATP-dependent membrane pump is elucidated with a high-resolution structure within a lipid bilayer together with mutational analysis at key points along this pathway.

A temporal and positional atlas of mouse primordial germ cell (PGC) migration reveals dynamic gene expression and somatic cell interactions that suggest how changing migratory niches regulate PGC development.
