    Are single-peaked tuning curves tuned for speed rather than accuracy?

    Movitz Lenninger, Mikael Skoglund ... Arvind Kumar
    Single-peaked tuning curves found in early sensory areas are more optimized for quick decoding than accuracy, while multi-peaked tuning curves (e.g. grid cells) give higher accuracy but only at longer time scales.

    Tau polarizes an aging transcriptional signature to excitatory neurons and glia

    Timothy Wu, Jennifer M Deger ... Joshua M Shulman
    While tau and aging have highly overlapping differential gene expression signatures, they diverge in the affected cell types, with aging having a wide-ranging impact and tau-triggered changes instead polarized to excitatory neurons and glia.

    Substrate stiffness impacts early biofilm formation by modulating Pseudomonas aeruginosa twitching motility

    Sofia Gomez, Lionel Bureau ... Sigolene Lecuyer
    The spatial organization of pathogenic bacteria into microcolonies can be shaped by the stiffness of the substrate that they colonize, via modifications of the bacterial motility.

    Global analysis of contact-dependent human-to-mouse intercellular mRNA and lncRNA transfer in cell culture

    Sandipan Dasgupta, Daniella Y Dayagi ... Jeffrey E Gerst
    The RNA transferome comprises full-length mRNAs and lncRNAs that undergo non-selective and expression-dependent transfer between mammalian cells in culture via actin-based tunneling nanotubes.

    Changes in transmission of Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) in England inferred from seroprevalence data

    Margarita Pons-Salort, Ben Lambert ... Nicholas C Grassly
    Serocatalytic models applied to seroprevalence data from England reveal an increase in Enterovirus D68 transmission that occurred before 2011.

    Repair of noise-induced damage to stereocilia F-actin cores is facilitated by XIRP2 and its novel mechanosensor domain

    Elizabeth L Wagner, Jun-Sub Im ... Jung-Bum Shin
    A novel mechanism for F-actin repair is involved in the maintenance of sensory hair cells and hearing function.

    Homeostatic control of an iron repressor in a GI tract resident

    Yuanyuan Wang, Yinhe Mao ... Changbin Chen
    Post-translational modifications of an iron-responsive regulator drive Candida albicans commensalism in gastrointestinal tract.

    Robust membrane protein tweezers reveal the folding speed limit of helical membrane proteins

    Seoyoon Kim, Daehyo Lee ... Duyoung Min
    An exceedingly low speed limit was estimated for a helical hairpin formation by analyzing hours-long, incessant structural transitions.

    Identification of epigenetic modulators as determinants of nuclear size and shape

    Andria C Schibler, Predrag Jevtic ... Tom Misteli
    Chromatin modifiers shape nuclear morphology.

    The CD73 immune checkpoint promotes tumor cell metabolic fitness

    David Allard, Isabelle Cousineau ... John Stagg
    Targeting CD73 not only enhances anti-tumor immunity but also disrupts tumor cell metabolism and hinders poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) activity, thus unveiling novel opportunities for combination cancer treatments.
