    Plasticity and evolutionary convergence in the locomotor skeleton of Greater Antillean Anolis lizards

    Nathalie Feiner, Illiam SC Jackson ... Tobias Uller
    A comparative and experimental research refutes the controversial hypothesis that plasticity played a major role in the convergent evolution of Anolis ecomorphs.

    Spectral clustering of risk score trajectories stratifies sepsis patients by clinical outcome and interventions received

    Ran Liu, Joseph L Greenstein ... Raimond L Winslow
    Spectral clustering applied to risk trajectories of sepsis patients discovered four distinct clusters stratified by risk of septic shock, mortality, and treatments received prior to an abrupt physiological transition.

    Nutrient status shapes selfish mitochondrial genome dynamics across different levels of selection

    Bryan L Gitschlag, Ann T Tate, Maulik R Patel
    Food supply and nutrient stress tolerance coordinately shape the multilevel selection dynamics of a mitochondrial cheater by promoting cheater persistence at both within-host and between-host levels of selection.

    Tuning movement for sensing in an uncertain world

    Chen Chen, Todd D Murphey, Malcolm A MacIver
    Animals work in a world full of surprises, where using energy to position sensors proportional to the location's expected information avoids the pitfalls of positioning them at the information maxima.

    Empathic pain evoked by sensory and emotional-communicative cues share common and process-specific neural representations

    Feng Zhou, Jialin Li ... Benjamin Becker
    Machine learning analyses reveal that the observation of acute pain inflictions and facial expressions of pain evoke shared pain-specific neural representations.

    An ER translocon for multi-pass membrane protein biogenesis

    Philip T McGilvray, S Andrei Anghel ... Robert J Keenan
    A set of ER-localized membrane proteins whose loss causes developmental diseases in humans, assemble with Sec61 into a translocon that facilitates the biogenesis of hundreds of different multi-pass membrane proteins.

    Activation of astrocytes in hippocampus decreases fear memory through adenosine A1 receptors

    Yulan Li, Lixuan Li ... Yan-Qin Yu
    A new strategy of memory consolidation disruption based on astrocyte and purinergic signaling, which leads to persistent fear memory attenuation accompanied by reduced fear-related anxiety behavior.

    The flagellar motor of Vibrio alginolyticus undergoes major structural remodeling during rotational switching

    Brittany L Carroll, Tatsuro Nishikino ... Jun Liu
    In situ structures of the flagellar motors genetically docked in CCW and CW rotational states reveal major rearrangement that facilitates rotational switch in Vibrio alginolyticus..

    Multiple Wnts act synergistically to induce Chk1/Grapes expression and mediate G2 arrest in Drosophila tracheoblasts

    Amrutha Kizhedathu, Rose Sebastian Kunnappallil ... Arjun Guha
    Wnts can act synergistically to affect G2 arrest via transcriptional upregulation of a Checkpoint Kinase in the absence of any detectable DNA damage.

    Poultry farmer response to disease outbreaks in smallholder farming systems in southern Vietnam

    Alexis Delabouglise, Nguyen Thi Le Thanh ... Maciej F Boni
    Longitudinal monitoring of poultry farms in southern Vietnam reveals that when outbreaks occur with symptoms similar to highly pathogenic avian influenza, farmers respond by sending their chickens to market early.
