    Calcium dependence of neurotransmitter release at a high fidelity synapse

    Abdelmoneim Eshra, Hartmut Schmidt ... Stefan Hallermann
    The Ca2+-dependence of vesicle priming, fusion, and replenishment at cerebellar mossy fiber boutons show a prominent Ca2+-dependent priming step, a shallow non-saturating dose-response curve up to 50 µM, and little Ca2+-dependence of sustained vesicle replenishment.

    Bayesian inference of population prevalence

    Robin AA Ince, Angus T Paton ... Philippe G Schyns
    Bayesian estimation of the proportion of the population that would show an effect in an experiment provides a broadly applicable alternative to standard null hypothesis tests on the population mean with several advantages.

    End-of-life targeted degradation of DAF-2 insulin/IGF-1 receptor promotes longevity free from growth-related pathologies

    Richard Venz, Tina Pekec ... Collin Yvès Ewald
    Inducible degradation of the insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor shows that a doubling in lifespan is possible even at extremely old ages in an organism.

    Variation in human herpesvirus 6B telomeric integration, excision, and transmission between tissues and individuals

    Michael L Wood, Colin D Veal ... Nicola J Royle
    Human herpesvirus 6B can transition between telomere-integrated and free viral forms, and frequent telomere-loop-driven partial or complete viral genome excision events create mosaicism in germline carriers of inherited chromosomally integrated HHV-6B.

    Ectocytosis prevents accumulation of ciliary cargo in C. elegans sensory neurons

    Adria Razzauti, Patrick Laurent
    Disposal of ciliary proteins via ectosomes budding from cilia tip or cilia base acts as a safeguard mechanism when cilia trafficking functions are impaired.

    Modeling spinal locomotor circuits for movements in developing zebrafish

    Yann Roussel, Stephanie F Gaudreau ... Tuan V Bui
    Computational models of spinal locomotor circuits in developing zebrafish reveal how new movements can emerge during development through the integration of new spinal neurons and new connections.

    Structural characterization of NrnC identifies unifying features of dinucleases

    Justin D Lormand, Soo-Kyoung Kim ... Holger Sondermann
    Dinucleases, specialized enzymes that catalyze the final step in RNA degradation, have evolved independently and repeatedly to fulfill essential roles in cell growth.

    Local adaptation and archaic introgression shape global diversity at human structural variant loci

    Stephanie M Yan, Rachel M Sherman ... Rajiv C McCoy
    Graph genotyping of structural variation in diverse human populations reveals functional associations and signatures of local adaptation within poorly resolved regions of the genome.

    Information content differentiates enhancers from silencers in mouse photoreceptors

    Ryan Z Friedman, David M Granas ... Michael A White
    Silencers and enhancers targeted by a common transcription factor in photoreceptors are distinguished by the number and diversity of binding transcription factor binding sites they contain.

    Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in Sox2 and Bra expression guides progenitor motility and destiny

    Michèle Romanos, Guillaume Allio ... Bertrand Bénazéraf
    Spatial variations of transcription factor expression regulate the choice of progenitors to stay in their niche or to migrate into neural and mesodermal tissues.
