    A causal role for the right frontal eye fields in value comparison

    Ian Krajbich, Andres Mitsumasu ... Ernst Fehr
    Inhibition of activity in the right frontal eye fields reduces the amplifying effect of gaze in value-based choice.

    Ssl2/TFIIH function in transcription start site scanning by RNA polymerase II in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Tingting Zhao, Irina O Vvedenskaya ... Craig D Kaplan
    Ssl2 processivity determines the window for transcription start site selection during promoter scanning by RNA polymerase II in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

    Surface-associated antigen induces permeabilization of primary mouse B-cells and lysosome exocytosis facilitating antigen uptake and presentation to T-cells

    Fernando Y Maeda, Jurriaan JH van Haaren ... Wenxia Song
    The strength by which mouse B-cells bind surface-associated antigen determines how much their plasma membrane is permeabilized and also the extent of a resealing response involving lysosomal exocytosis, which promotes antigen extraction for intracellular processing and T-cell presentation.

    Human Erbb2-induced Erk activity robustly stimulates cycling and functional remodeling of rat and human cardiomyocytes

    Nicholas Strash, Sophia DeLuca ... Nenad Bursac
    Comparative analysis of cardiac mitogenic pathways identified a potent human gene that is effective at driving in vitro cell cycle activation across species and cell culture systems.

    Sepsis leads to lasting changes in phenotype and function of memory CD8 T cells

    Isaac J Jensen, Xiang Li ... Vladimir P Badovinac
    Sepsis leads to lasting changes in the composition of the pre-existing memory CD8 T cell compartment leading to altered localization, changes in their transcriptional landscape and chromatin accessibility, differential function, and reduced capacity to control infection.

    Epigenome-wide analysis of DNA methylation and coronary heart disease: a nested case-control study

    Jiahui Si, Songchun Yang ... China Kadoorie Biobank Collaborative Group
    Epigenetic regulations in the smoking- and blood pressure-related pathways to the future risk of coronary heart disease may reveal novel pathways or therapeutic targets.

    Modality-specific tracking of attention and sensory statistics in the human electrophysiological spectral exponent

    Leonhard Waschke, Thomas Donoghue ... Jonas Obleser
    Waschke and colleagues demonstrate that aperiodic EEG activity not only captures subtle attention-related changes in brain signals but also tracks 1/f-like sensory input.

    Short-chain fatty acids activate acetyltransferase p300

    Sydney P Thomas, John M Denu
    At most physiological concentrations, the short-chain fatty acids propionate and butyrate affect histone acetylation by modifying and activating the acetyltransferase p300/CBP, rather than by inhibiting histone deacetylases.

    Protein allocation and utilization in the versatile chemolithoautotroph Cupriavidus necator

    Michael Jahn, Nick Crang ... Elton Paul Hudson
    Proteomics and metabolic modeling revealed that the 'knallgas' bacterium Cupriavidus necator utilizes only a fraction of its proteome and keeps large enzyme reserves as an adaption to variable environments.

    Disturbed retinoid metabolism upon loss of rlbp1a impairs cone function and leads to subretinal lipid deposits and photoreceptor degeneration in the zebrafish retina

    Domino K Schlegel, Srinivasagan Ramkumar ... Stephan CF Neuhauss
    The retinoid-binding protein RLBP1 in the retinal pigment epithelium is crucially involved in cone photoreceptor visual pigment recycling and mimics the human eye disease with retinal lipid deposits when mutated.
