    Lytic transglycosylases mitigate periplasmic crowding by degrading soluble cell wall turnover products

    Anna Isabell Weaver, Laura Alvarez ... Tobias Dörr
    A critical role for bacterial lytic transglycosylases in the clearance of novel, toxic cell wall turnover products that accumulate during vegetative growth is identified through genetic approaches and compositional analysis of solubilized peptidoglycan released from the bacterial cell wall.

    Nonlinear transient amplification in recurrent neural networks with short-term plasticity

    Yue Kris Wu, Friedemann Zenke
    The interplay of recurrent excitation and short-term plasticity enables nonlinear transient amplification, an ideal mechanism for selective amplification, pattern completion, and pattern separation in recurrent neural networks.

    FMRP regulates mRNAs encoding distinct functions in the cell body and dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons

    Caryn R Hale, Kirsty Sawicka ... Robert B Darnell
    Combining compartment- and cell-type specific transcriptomic approaches reveals FMRP regulation of synaptic regulators in the dendrites and chromatin regulators in the cell bodies of CA1 neurons.

    A δ-cell subpopulation with a pro-β-cell identity contributes to efficient age-independent recovery in a zebrafish model of diabetes

    Claudio Andrés Carril Pardo, Laura Massoz ... Isabelle Manfroid
    Most regenerated cells after β-cell damage in zebrafish are Insulin+ Somatostatin+ bihormonal cells that are functional and able to restore glucose control.

    Clp protease and antisense RNA jointly regulate the global regulator CarD to mediate mycobacterial starvation response

    Xinfeng Li, Fang Chen ... Jin He
    Under starvation conditions, anti-carD antisense RNA and Clp protease work together to decrease the CarD level to mediate the adaptation and survival of mycobacterial cells.

    Fluorescence activation mechanism and imaging of drug permeation with new sensors for smoking-cessation ligands

    Aaron L Nichols, Zack Blumenfeld ... Henry A Lester
    Pharmacokinetics, the venerable science that measures the dynamics and concentrations an administered drug attains in organs, has been extended to the subcellular level – organelles – by a generalizable new paradigm.

    Legionella pneumophila modulates host energy metabolism by ADP-ribosylation of ADP/ATP translocases

    Jiaqi Fu, Mowei Zhou ... Zhao-Qing Luo
    Legionella pneumophila modulates host energy metabolism by targeting the ADP/ATP translocase carrier proteins with an effector of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity.

    Judgments of agency are affected by sensory noise without recruiting metacognitive processing

    Marika Constant, Roy Salomon, Elisa Filevich
    Explicit judgments of agency incorporate uncertainty by reflecting first-order measures of a noisy signal, but they do not correspond to second-order metacognitive measures of the noise in a signal.

    Telomere length regulation by Rif1 protein from Hansenula polymorpha

    Alexander N Malyavko, Olga A Petrova ... Olga A Dontsova
    Novel mechanistic aspects of function of the important DNA metabolism regulator Rif1 are uncovered in an alternative model organism.

    Transcriptional regulation of neural stem cell expansion in the adult hippocampus

    Nannan Guo, Kelsey D McDermott ... Amar Sahay
    Kruppel-like factor 9 (Klf9) is a transcriptional regulator of neural stem cell expansion in the adult hippocampus.
