    Edge-strand of BepA interacts with immature LptD on the β-barrel assembly machine to direct it to on- and off-pathways

    Ryoji Miyazaki, Tetsuro Watanabe ... Yoshinori Akiyama
    In vivo crosslinking approaches revealed that the edge-strand of Escherichia coli metallopeptidase BepA interacts with an assembly intermediate of β-barrel outer membrane protein LptD on the outer membrane protein translocon for its targeting to degradation or maturation.

    Ancient viral genomes reveal introduction of human pathogenic viruses into Mexico during the transatlantic slave trade

    Axel A Guzmán-Solís, Viridiana Villa-Islas ... María C Ávila Arcos
    The characterization of ancient B19V and HBV genotype A4 viruses circulating during Colonial epidemics provides new insights into the pathogens that were introduced to the Americas after the European colonization.

    Contrasting effects of Western vs Mediterranean diets on monocyte inflammatory gene expression and social behavior in a primate model

    Corbin SC Johnson, Carol A Shively ... Noah Snyder-Mackler
    Modern human diet patterns alter primate behavior and monocyte gene expression leading to monocyte polarization–experimental evidence of the evolutionary mismatch hypothesis.

    An engineered transcriptional reporter of protein localization identifies regulators of mitochondrial and ER membrane protein trafficking in high-throughput CRISPRi screens

    Robert Coukos, David Yao ... Alice Y Ting
    HiLITR is a molecular reporter of protein localization that enables straightforward, large-scale, fluorescence-activated cell sorting-based discovery of genes that regulate complex cellular processes, such as mitochondrial and ER tail-anchored protein trafficking.

    Activity-dependent regulation of mitochondrial motility in developing cortical dendrites

    Catia AP Silva, Annik Yalnizyan-Carson ... Christian Lohmann
    Naturally occurring activity in the developing brain regulates mitochondrial motility such that mitochondria stop at active synapses, which is probably a fundamental process in brain wiring.

    The evolution of strategy in bacterial warfare via the regulation of bacteriocins and antibiotics

    Rene Niehus, Nuno M Oliveira ... Kevin R Foster
    Evolutionary game theory identifies reciprocation as a key winning strategy for warring bacteria.

    Ancient role of sulfakinin/cholecystokinin-type signalling in inhibitory regulation of feeding processes revealed in an echinoderm

    Ana B Tinoco, Antón Barreiro-Iglesias ... Maurice R Elphick
    Starfish feed by everting their stomach out of their mouth over prey and, interestingly, this unusual feeding mechanism is inhibited by substances similar to hormones that regulate feeding in humans.

    Separable neural signatures of confidence during perceptual decisions

    Tarryn Balsdon, Pascal Mamassian, Valentin Wyart
    Neural processes for perception and confidence can be separated thanks to computational electroencephalography, thus revealing a neural circuit specific to metacognition.

    Distributed functions of prefrontal and parietal cortices during sequential categorical decisions

    Yang Zhou, Matthew C Rosen ... David J Freedman
    Prefrontal cortex plays a leading role in sequential decisions compared to posterior parietal cortex and relies on nonlinear integration of sensory and mnemonic information for decision formation.

    β-hydroxybutyrate accumulates in the rat heart during low-flow ischaemia with implications for functional recovery

    Ross T Lindsay, Sophie Dieckmann ... Andrew J Murray
    β-Hydroxybutyrate accumulates in the perfused rat heart during ischaemia, driven by flux through both HMGCS and SCOT, with implications for functional recovery.
