    An open-source, high-performance tool for automated sleep staging

    Raphael Vallat, Matthew P Walker
    A robust automatic sleep-staging algorithm offers a high level of accuracy matching that of typical human interscorer agreement.

    The generation of cortical novelty responses through inhibitory plasticity

    Auguste Schulz, Christoph Miehl ... Julijana Gjorgjieva
    Inhibitory synaptic plasticity provides a flexible and biologically plausible circuit mechanism to detect the novelty of bottom-up stimuli and to generate stimulus-specific adaptation.

    Gut bacterial aggregates as living gels

    Brandon H Schlomann, Raghuveer Parthasarathy
    A theory of gut bacterial aggregation produces a cluster size distribution that matches that of several strains observed in zebrafish, suggesting principles generally applicable to the vertebrate gut.

    Monocyte-derived transcriptome signature indicates antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis as a potential mechanism of vaccine-induced protection against HIV-1

    Shida Shangguan, Philip K Ehrenberg ... Rasmi Thomas
    Using single-cell CITE-seq to implicate monocytes as the cellular origin of a protective HIV vaccine gene signature.

    Human embryo polarization requires PLC signaling to mediate trophectoderm specification

    Meng Zhu, Marta Shahbazi ... Magdalena Zernicka Goetz
    Functional analyses of in vitro fertilized, preimplanation human embryos reveal that the first lineage segregation depends on cell polarization signaling that is regulated by Phospholipase C (PLC) activity.

    The transcription factor Xrp1 is required for PERK-mediated antioxidant gene induction in Drosophila

    Brian Brown, Sahana Mitra ... Hyung Don Ryoo
    The transcription factor Xrp1 mediates a previously unrecognized branch of stress-response signaling, specifically as a downstream effector of eIF2alpha kinases.
    1. Neuroscience

    The cell adhesion molecule Sdk1 shapes assembly of a retinal circuit that detects localized edges

    Pierre-Luc Rochon, Catherine Theriault ... Arjun Krishnaswamy
    A novel retinal ganglion cell requires a cell adhesion molecule to grow its dendrites, collect synaptic inputs, and become selective to edges placed in its receptive field.

    The LRRK2 G2019S mutation alters astrocyte-to-neuron communication via extracellular vesicles and induces neuron atrophy in a human iPSC-derived model of Parkinson’s disease

    Aurelie de Rus Jacquet, Jenna L Tancredi ... Erin K O'Shea
    Extracellular vesicles are proposed as novel, non-cell-autonomous mediators of neuronal atrophy in Parkinson's disease.
    1. Computational and Systems Biology

    Simplifying the development of portable, scalable, and reproducible workflows

    Stephen R Piccolo, Zachary E Ence ... Andrea H Bild
    Descriptions, examples, and tools to enable biologists to use the Common Workflow Language for data processing and to facilitate computational reproducibility.

    Evolution of irreversible somatic differentiation

    Yuanxiao Gao, Hye Jin Park ... Yuriy Pichugin
    Irreversible differentiation into somatic cells is evolutionarily optimal if changing cell phenotype is costly, a few somatic cells already improve the organism's performance, and the organism is large enough.
