    A perspective on HPK1 as a novel immuno-oncology drug target

    Sansana Sawasdikosol, Steven Burakoff
    HPK1 is an important immuno-oncology drug target that may induce superior anti-tumor immunity through the multiple roles HPK1 may play at multiple steps of the cancer immunity cycle.

    Direct reprogramming of human smooth muscle and vascular endothelial cells reveals defects associated with aging and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome

    Simone Bersini, Roberta Schulte ... Martin W Hetzer
    Direct reprogramming of smooth muscle cells from HGPS patients revealed that BMP4 is a key contributor of vascular degeneration and might represent a new therapeutic target.

    Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva mutant ACVR1 signals by multiple modalities in the developing zebrafish

    Robyn S Allen, Benjamin Tajer ... Mary C Mullins
    The human Fibrodysplasia-Ossificans-Progressiva BMP-receptor mutant signals in zebrafish in the absence of ligand-binding, displays BMP ligand-responsive hyperactivity, neither requiring other type-I-BMP receptors, unlike wild-type, challenging views of the pathological mechanism.

    Sensory experience during early sensitive periods shapes cross-modal temporal biases

    Stephanie Badde, Pia Ley ... Brigitte Röder
    Individuals with reversed congenital cataracts perceived visual events as occurring earlier than auditory and tactile events revealing that cross-modal temporal biases depend on sensory experience during an early sensitive period.

    Neural arbitration between social and individual learning systems

    Andreea Oliviana Diaconescu, Madeline Stecy ... Philippe N Tobler
    Arbitration is formalised as the relative precision of predictions afforded by reward and social learning systems and is represented in modality-specific dopaminergic and dopaminoceptive regions, including the midbrain and amygdala.

    Metabolic response of blood vessels to TNFα

    Abidemi Junaid, Johannes Schoeman ... Thomas Hankemeier
    The metabolic readout of endothelial function in the microvessels-on-a-chip facilitates mechanistic studies and detection of biomarkers for microvascular diseases in a physiological relevant environment.

    Underground isoleucine biosynthesis pathways in E. coli

    Charles AR Cotton, Iria Bernhardsgrütter ... Arren Bar-Even
    Upon deletion of threonine deaminases, biosynthesis of isoleucine is rescued by two promiscuous reactions, one emerges under aerobic conditions and the other is naturally active under anaerobic conditions.

    The frequency gradient of human resting-state brain oscillations follows cortical hierarchies

    Keyvan Mahjoory, Jan-Mathijs Schoffelen ... Joachim Gross
    The strongest peak frequency of brain oscillations in a brain area decreases significantly, gradually and robustly along the posterior-anterior axis following the global hierarchy from early sensory to higher order areas.

    HetL, HetR and PatS form a reaction-diffusion system to control pattern formation in the cyanobacterium nostoc PCC 7120

    Xiaomei Xu, Véronique Risoul ... Amel Latifi
    Genetic, biochemistry and modeling approaches reveal elements of a Turing-type reaction-diffusion system to control pattern formation in differentiating cyanobacterial filaments.

    Genomic architecture and evolutionary antagonism drive allelic expression bias in the social supergene of red fire ants

    Carlos Martinez-Ruiz, Rodrigo Pracana ... Yannick Wurm
    Analyses of allelic- and socially-biased gene expression reveal that suppressed recombination causes most of the expression differences in the social supergene, with only few differences due to socially antagonistic selection.
