    Reporting and misreporting of sex differences in the biological sciences

    Yesenia Garcia-Sifuentes, Donna L Maney
    A review of studies in the life sciences shows that inappropriate statistical approaches may distort conclusions on sex differences.

    Impaired HA-specific T follicular helper cell and antibody responses to influenza vaccination are linked to inflammation in humans

    Danika L Hill, Carly E Whyte ... Michelle A Linterman
    Antibody production upon vaccination requires antigen-specific T follicular helper cells whose formation can be suppressed by pro-inflammatory cytokine signalling.

    Spatial modulation of individual behaviors enables an ordered structure of diverse phenotypes during bacterial group migration

    Yang Bai, Caiyun He ... Xiongfei Fu
    Bacterial population can coordinate individuals of different phenotypes by spatial modulation of their run-and-tumble behaviors, resulting in collective group migration with an ordered structure of phenotypes.

    Experimental evidence for delayed post-conflict management behaviour in wild dwarf mongooses

    Amy Morris-Drake, Julie M Kern, Andrew N Radford
    After experimentally simulated within-group conflict, dwarf mongoose bystanders engage in post-conflict management behaviour with a temporal delay.

    Microbiome-pathogen interactions drive epidemiological dynamics of antibiotic resistance: A modeling study applied to nosocomial pathogen control

    David RM Smith, Laura Temime, Lulla Opatowski
    A novel mathematical modeling framework for antibiotic-resistant bacteria combining within-host microbiome-pathogen interactions with population-level pathogen epidemiology, demonstrating how antibiotic consumption and ecological competition come together to drive the spread of resistance.

    Phase response analyses support a relaxation oscillator model of locomotor rhythm generation in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Hongfei Ji, Anthony D Fouad ... Christopher Fang-Yen
    Behavioral, optogenetic, and computational modeling analyses show that the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans uses a relaxation oscillation mechanism to generate rhythmic locomotor patterns.

    Fusion of tethered membranes can be driven by Sec18/NSF and Sec17/αSNAP without HOPS

    Hongki Song, William T Wickner
    The coordinate activity of Sec17/SNAP and Sec18/NSF for membrane fusion is not limited to systems with homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting (HOPS), the lysosomal/vacuolar tethering, and SNARE assembly complex.
