    Emergent periodicity in the collective synchronous flashing of fireflies

    Raphael Sarfati, Kunaal Joshi ... Orit Peleg
    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.

    Comprehensive profiling of migratory primordial germ cells reveals niche-specific differences in non-canonical Wnt and Nodal-Lefty signaling in anterior vs posterior migrants

    Rebecca Garrett Jaszczak, Jay W Zussman ... Diana J Laird
    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.

    MCAK recognizes the nucleotide-dependent feature at growing microtubule ends

    Wei Chen, Yin-Long Song ... Xin Liang
    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.

    Quantifying the shape of cells, from Minkowski tensors to p-atic orders

    Lea Happel, Griseldis Oberschelp ... Axel Voigt
    Only rigorous mathematical tools to quantify the shape of cells can guarantee reliable results in coarse-grained descriptions of tissue dynamics.

    Traveling waves across scales: Different mechanisms but same canonical computation?

    Laura Dugué, Frédéric Chavane
    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.

    Conduction pathway for potassium through the Escherichia coli pump KdpFABC

    Adel Hussein, Xihui Zhang ... David L Stokes
    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.

    Life-cycle-related gene expression patterns in the brown algae

    Pélagie Ratchinski, Olivier Godfroy ... J Mark Cock
    Life-cycle- and development-related patterns of gene expression are conserved in diverse brown algae.

    The Mac1 ADP-ribosylhydrolase is a therapeutic target for SARS-CoV-2

    Rahul K Suryawanshi, Priyadarshini Jaishankar ... James S Fraser
    The development of new small molecules demonstrates how pharmacologic inhibition of the coronavirus macrodomain restores innate immunity, leading to reduced viral replication and improved outcomes in severe infection.
