    Machine learning-assisted discovery of growth decision elements by relating bacterial population dynamics to environmental diversity

    Honoka Aida, Takamasa Hashizume ... Bei-Wen Ying
    A smart combination of machine learning and high-throughput data generation of bacterial population dynamics successfully leads to an intriguing finding of the differentiation in decision-making components for bacterial growth.

    Prolonged β-adrenergic stimulation disperses ryanodine receptor clusters in cardiomyocytes and has implications for heart failure

    Xin Shen, Jonas van den Brink ... William E Louch
    Prolonged β-adrenergic stimulation causes ryanodine receptor clusters to disperse, drastically altering the frequency and kinetics of Ca2+ release events called ‘Ca2+ sparks’ in a process that is dependent on CaMKII and PKA.

    Control of nuclear size by osmotic forces in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

    Joël Lemière, Paula Real-Calderon ... Fred Chang
    The volume of the nucleus is dictated by a balance of colloid osmotic forces from the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm.

    Decomposing the role of alpha oscillations during brain maturation

    Marius Tröndle, Tzvetan Popov ... Nicolas Langer
    Applying decomposition of oscillatory and aperiodic signal components to developmental EEG data provides a solution for the problems in the investigation of alpha power during brain maturation.

    Mechanism of the cadherin–catenin F-actin catch bond interaction

    Amy Wang, Alexander R Dunn, William I Weis
    Deleting the first helix of the α-catenin actin-binding domain results in a slip bond interaction between the cadherin–catenin complex and F-actin, such that the binding interaction is stable at low force.

    Soluble MAC is primarily released from MAC-resistant bacteria that potently convert complement component C5

    Dennis J Doorduijn, Marie V Lukassen ... Suzan HM Rooijakkers
    Bacteria that resist direct complement-mediated killing by pores can still potently activate the complement system and trigger release of incomplete pores into human serum.

    SMAD4 and TGFβ are architects of inverse genetic programs during fate determination of antiviral CTLs

    Karthik Chandiran, Jenny E Suarez-Ramirez ... Linda S Cauley
    Pathogen-specific CTLs are programmed to provide customized responses against infection, by inflammatory molecules that promote localization in peripheral and lymphoid tissues using alternative signaling mechanisms.

    Developmental stage-specific spontaneous activity contributes to callosal axon projections

    Yuta Tezuka, Kenta M Hagihara ... Yoshiaki Tagawa
    The developing neocortex exhibits spontaneous network activity with various synchrony levels, and such activity is selectively required during a critical developmental time window for the formation of long-range axonal projections connecting the two cortical hemispheres.

    An amphipathic helix in Brl1 is required for nuclear pore complex biogenesis in S. cerevisiae

    Annemarie Kralt, Matthias Wojtynek ... Karsten Weis
    Genetic, proteomic, and structural analyses provide insight into the role of Brl1 during nuclear pore complex biogenesis, suggesting a function in the fusion of outer and inner nuclear membranes.

    Temporal analysis of enhancers during mouse cerebellar development reveals dynamic and novel regulatory functions

    Miguel Ramirez, Yuliya Badayeva ... Daniel Goldowitz
    An analysis of enhancer activity during mouse cerebellar development provides an invaluable resource for studying gene expression regulation by enhancers in the developing cerebellum and delivers a rich dataset of novel gene-enhancer associations providing a basis for future in-depth studies.
