    Live imaging and biophysical modeling support a button-based mechanism of somatic homolog pairing in Drosophila

    Myron Barber Child VI, Jack R Bateman ... Hernan G Garcia
    Biophysical modeling and quantitative live-cell imaging converge to show that the century-old puzzle of somatic homolog pairing in Drosophila operates via a button model.

    Place-cell capacity and volatility with grid-like inputs

    Man Yi Yim, Lorenzo A Sadun ... Thibaud Taillefumier
    A very large number of place-field maps can be robustly learned by association of external cues with the grid-driven response, however plasticity in the grid-cell inputs renders the place-cell responses volatile.

    Two NLR immune receptors acquired high-affinity binding to a fungal effector through convergent evolution of their integrated domain

    Aleksandra Białas, Thorsten Langner ... Sophien Kamoun
    The HMA domains of Pikp-1 and Pikm-1 NLR receptors have convergently evolved to bind AVR-PikD with high affinity through distinct evolutionary and biochemical paths.

    Pioneer neutrophils release chromatin within in vivo swarms

    Hannah M Isles, Catherine A Loynes ... Philip M Elks
    Neutrophil swarms form around a single endogenous pioneer neutrophil in vivo, mediated by DNA release from pioneer neutrophils.

    Somatic aging pathways regulate reproductive plasticity in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Maria C Ow, Alexandra M Nichitean, Sarah E Hall
    Somatic aging and germline RNAi pathways promote inheritance of ancestral starvation memory through reallocation of fat storage in Caenorhabditis elegans.

    Cortico-autonomic local arousals and heightened somatosensory arousability during NREMS of mice in neuropathic pain

    Romain Cardis, Sandro Lecci ... Anita Lüthi
    Neuropathic pain preserves mouse sleep in architecture and characteristic spectral bands but perturbs arousability in ways reminiscent of insomnia disorders, in which hyperarousal and hyperalertness to environmental stimuli are prevalent.
    1. Neuroscience

    GluA4 facilitates cerebellar expansion coding and enables associative memory formation

    Katarzyna Kita, Catarina Albergaria ... Igor Delvendahl
    GluA4-containing AMPA receptors are required for effective excitation of cerebellar granule cells and enable expansion coding and associative learning.

    Mechanisms underlying neonate-specific metabolic effects of volatile anesthetics

    Julia Stokes, Arielle Freed ... Simon C Johnson
    Volatile anesthetics impair hepatic tricarboxylic acid cycle function in adult and neonatal mice, with citrate accumulation driving a neonate-specific inhibition of beta-oxidation and ketosis through their increased relative sensitivity to malonyl-CoA.

    Targeting an anchored phosphatase-deacetylase unit restores renal ciliary homeostasis

    Janani Gopalan, Mitchell H Omar ... John D Scott
    An anchored phosphatase-deacetylase complex participates in primary cilia development.

    Matriptase activation of Gq drives epithelial disruption and inflammation via RSK and DUOX

    Jiajia Ma, Claire A Scott ... Tom J Carney
    The serine protease Matriptase orchestrates simultaneous epithelial cell motility and inflammation in pathological states through respective activation of the MAPK pathway and generation of hydrogen peroxide.
