A new role for nephronectin and integrin α8 signaling during neural crest cell migration in the developing cornea has been identified.

TADR (torn and diminished rhabdomeres)-dependent histidine transporting is required for de novo synthesis of histamine and for maintaining synaptic transmission of photoreceptor neurons in Drosophila.

Stimulus-induced causal interactions in the gamma range can flow in direction opposite to the canonical microcircuit, violating the notion that they are signatures of feedforward communication.

When oligodendrocytes lack expression of the low-abundant myelin protein CMTM5, central nervous system axons are myelinated normally but subsequently degenerate involving a Wallerian-like pathomechanism.

Deep mutagenesis experiments demonstrate that while cancer-causing mutations in Ras selectively alter regulatory interactions with GTPase-activating proteins, Ras is also activated by many mutations that decrease protein stability.

Parallel evolutionary dynamics were found in vivo and in vitro, showing that laboratory studies can be predictive of certain phenotypic outcomes of clinical phage therapy (phage-mediated decolonization).

SPRRs are bactericidal proteins, stimulated in the sebaceous gland by lipopolysaccharide, that defend the host against infection through bacterial membrane binding and disruption.

Humans perseverate on previously instructed goals in a novel multigoal reinforcement learning task, and do this to a greater extent for punishment avoidance goals.

A 'phyloregulatory' approach reveals how human endogenous retrovirus type-H, a family of human endogenous retroviruses, diversified its regulatory sequences through multiple mutational mechanisms to partition its transcriptional activity spatially and temporally within the human embryo.

Advanced data analysis of molecular dynamics simulations of complex lipid membranes provides a quantitative and predictive model of the molecular features that control electroporation.
