    Adaptation in cone photoreceptors contributes to an unexpected insensitivity of primate On parasol retinal ganglion cells to spatial structure in natural images

    Zhou Yu, Maxwell H Turner ... Fred Rieke
    A combination of electrophysiology and quantitative modeling shows that subtle changes in input due to adaptation in cone phototransduction control the linearity or nonlinearity of how ganglion cells integrate spatial inputs.

    Coil-to-α-helix transition at the Nup358-BicD2 interface activates BicD2 for dynein recruitment

    James M Gibson, Heying Cui ... Chunyu Wang
    A cargo recognition α-helix was identified in Nup358, which is required for activation of a dynein-dependent transport pathway that is essential for brain development.

    The TFIIH complex is required to establish and maintain mitotic chromosome structure

    Julian Haase, Richard Chen ... Alexander E Kelly
    The general transcription factor TFIIH complex promotes the establishment and maintenance of chromosome structure during mitosis by altering the chromatin environment to allow for proper loading and function of the condensin complexes on chromatin.

    Cortical microtubule pulling forces contribute to the union of the parental genomes in the Caenorhabditis elegans zygote

    Griselda Velez-Aguilera, Batool Ossareh-Nazari ... Lionel Pintard
    Cortical microtubule pulling forces influence nuclear envelope breakdown, while nuclear envelope remodeling, particularly lamina depolymerization, impacts mitotic spindle length during mitosis.

    Effect of cancer on outcome of COVID-19 patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies of unvaccinated patients

    Giulia Di Felice, Giovanni Visci ... Paolo Boffetta
    A twofold increased risk of adverse outcomes (mortality, ICU admission, and severity of COVID-19) has been demonstrated in unvaccinated COVID-19 patients with cancer compared to COVID-19 patients without cancer.

    Particle foraging strategies promote microbial diversity in marine environments

    Ali Ebrahimi, Akshit Goyal, Otto X Cordero
    An ecological trade-off between growth and death enables microbes with different dispersal strategies to coexist on particulate matter in the oceans.

    Improvement of muscle strength in a mouse model for congenital myopathy treated with HDAC and DNA methyltransferase inhibitors

    Alexis Ruiz, Sofia Benucci ... Francesco Zorzato
    Physiological and biochemical studies show that the treatment of a transgenic mouse model carrying recessive Ryr1 mutations with a combination of class II histone deacetylase inhibitors and DNA methyl transferase inhibitors significantly improves skeletal muscle function.

    Associative learning drives longitudinally graded presynaptic plasticity of neurotransmitter release along axonal compartments

    Aaron Stahl, Nathaniel C Noyes ... Seth M Tomchik
    Experience alters neurotransmitter release from different axonal compartments in different ways, allowing a set of neurons to coherently modulate behavior through diverse actions on multiple downstream circuits.

    Diversification of multipotential postmitotic mouse retinal ganglion cell precursors into discrete types

    Karthik Shekhar, Irene E Whitney ... Joshua R Sanes
    Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of developing retinal ganglion cells in mice suggests that their diversification into 45 discrete types occurs via the gradual restriction of multipotential precursors.

    STIM1-dependent peripheral coupling governs the contractility of vascular smooth muscle cells

    Vivek Krishnan, Sher Ali ... Scott Earley
    STIM1 regulates the contractility of blood vessels and blood pressure by organizing membrane contact sites and ion channel activity in vascular smooth muscle cells in a manner that is independent of its canonical function in store-operated Ca2+entry.
