    Criticality supports cross-frequency cortical-thalamic information transfer during conscious states

    Daniel Toker, Eli Müller ... Martin M Monti
    Cross-frequency communication between the cortex and thalamus is linked to consciousness and changes in unconscious and psychedelic states, possibly due to shifts in brain dynamics between stability and chaos.

    Cis-regulatory modes of Ultrabithorax inactivation in butterfly forewings

    Amruta Tendolkar, Anyi Mazo-Vargas ... Arnaud Martin
    CRISPR knock-outs and functional genomic approaches probe the regulatory mechanism restricting the Hox gene Ubx to butterfly hindwings, explaining color pattern differentiation from forewings.

    β-cell intrinsic dynamics rather than gap junction structure dictates subpopulations in the islet functional network

    Jennifer K Briggs, Anne Gresch ... Richard KP Benninger
    The functional network of β-cells in the pancreatic islet, which has been used to identify important subpopulations of β-cells implicated in diabetes progression, is indicative of intrinsic dynamics rather than structural communication, implying islet robustness.

    Reprogramming of cardiac phosphoproteome, proteome, and transcriptome confers resilience to chronic adenylyl cyclase-driven stress

    Jia-Hua Qu, Khalid Chakir ... Edward G Lakatta
    Numerous pathways/function predictions were identified via gene sets, phosphopeptides, and phosphoproteins, which may point to potential novel therapeutic targets to enhance heart adaptivity, maintaining heart performance while avoiding cardiac dysfunction.

    Disulfide bridge-dependent dimerization triggers FGF2 membrane translocation into the extracellular space

    Fabio Lolicato, Julia P Steringer ... Walter Nickel
    Disulfide-bridged fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) dimerization at the inner plasma membrane leaflet produces the building block for higher FGF2 oligomers that drive FGF2 membrane translocation into the extracellular space.
