    A TOPBP1 allele causing male infertility uncouples XY silencing dynamics from sex body formation

    Carolline Ascenção, Jennie R Sims ... Marcus B Smolka
    A Topbp1 mutant mouse reveals a non-canonical role for the ATR-TOPBP1 signaling axis in meiosis, separating ATR signaling and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation from sex body formation.

    Noncanonical usage of stop codons in ciliates expands proteins with structurally flexible Q-rich motifs

    Chi-Ning Chuang, Hou-Cheng Liu ... Ting-Fang Wang
    Noncanonical usage of stop codons in ciliates expands structurally flexible Q-rich domains and coevolves with codon usage biases to avoid triplet repeat disorders mediated by CAG/GTC replication slippage.

    Delta-dependent Notch activation closes the early neuroblast temporal program to promote lineage progression and neurogenesis termination in Drosophila

    Chhavi Sood, Md Ausrafuggaman Nahid ... Sarah E Siegrist
    Notch signaling regulates the neuroblast intrinsic temporal program to determine when neuroblasts terminate their cell divisions during development.

    The differential regulation of placenta trophoblast bisphosphoglycerate mutase in fetal growth restriction: preclinical study in mice and observational histological study of human placenta

    Sima Stroganov, Talia Harris ... Michal Neeman
    Expression of Bisphosphoglycerate mutase, a key enzyme affecting the release of oxygen from hemoglobin, is augmented in the murine placenta challenged by gestational hypoxia in mice while its expression is attenuated in placenta of human FGR.

    High-resolution kinetics of herbivore-induced plant volatile transfer reveal clocked response patterns in neighboring plants

    Jamie Mitchel Waterman, Tristan Michael Cofer ... Matthias Erb
    Real-time volatile emission kinetics reveal stress volatiles emitted from herbivore-damaged plants can sequentially prime and induce defense responses in undamaged plants following distinct temporal patterns.

    Tailoring Tfh profiles enhances antibody persistence to a clade C HIV-1 vaccine in rhesus macaques

    Anil Verma, Chase E Hawes ... Smita S Iyer
    Strategies to enhance Tfh cells for HIV-vaccine antibody persistence and protection is pivotal for vaccine success.

    Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2

    Simon Desiderio, Frederick Schwaller ... Frederic Marmigere
    Combining mouse genetic, behavioral, and electrophysiological approaches revealed that a transcription factor is required to shape touch neurons' distal projections in the skin while dispensable for their survival and specification.

    Towards biologically plausible phosphene simulation for the differentiable optimization of visual cortical prostheses

    Maureen van der Grinten, Jaap de Ruyter van Steveninck ... Yağmur Güçlütürk
    The provided framework based on biological models and clinical literature can aid in the optimization of visual cortical prostheses through computational or behavioral simulation experiments, serving as a flexible tool for computational, clinical, and behavioral neuroscientists working on visual neuroprosthetics.
