    RETRACTED: Alcohol drinking alters stress response to predator odor via BNST kappa opioid receptor signaling in male mice

    Lara S Hwa, Sofia Neira ... Thomas L Kash
    Heavy alcohol drinking primes dynorphin /kappa opioid systems in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis to alter stress responses in mice.

    Differentiating Drosophila female germ cells initiate Polycomb silencing by regulating PRC2-interacting proteins

    Steven Z DeLuca, Megha Ghildiyal ... Allan C Spradling
    Characterization of Drosophila female germ cell differentiation shows that nurse cells initiate Polycomb silencing by regulating Pcl and Scm levels to alter the biochemical properties of the PRC2 H3K27 methylase.

    A community-maintained standard library of population genetic models

    Jeffrey R Adrion, Christopher B Cole ... Andrew D Kern
    The stdpopsim library, a community-driven open source project, is presented which provides easy access to a standard catalog of published simulation models for population genetics aimed at field-wide standardization.

    NuRD subunit CHD4 regulates super-enhancer accessibility in rhabdomyosarcoma and represents a general tumor dependency

    Joana G Marques, Berkley E Gryder ... Beat W Schäfer
    In fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma, CHD4 positively regulates super-enhancer-mediated gene expression by allowing a chromatin architecture at these cis-regulatory regions, which is permissive to the binding of the transcription factor PAX3-FOXO1.

    Human Fcγ-receptor IIb modulates pathogen-specific versus self-reactive antibody responses in lyme arthritis

    Heike Danzer, Joachim Glaesner ... Falk Nimmerjahn
    In the absence of human FcgRIIb function, an infection with Borrelia burgdorferi triggers enhanced autoreactive immune responses in humanized mice in vivo.

    The structural determinants of PH domain-mediated regulation of Akt revealed by segmental labeling

    Nam Chu, Thibault Viennet ... Philip A Cole
    NMR and biochemical analysis reveal new insights into how the critical protein kinase Akt is regulated by phosphorylation and is inhibited by an experimental therapeutic.

    Dynamics of gaze control during prey capture in freely moving mice

    Angie M Michaiel, Elliott TT Abe, Cristopher M Niell
    During natural visual behavior in mice, orienting towards a target is driven by head movements, during which the eyes stabilize and shift the visual input.

    Modular output circuits of the fastigial nucleus for diverse motor and nonmotor functions of the cerebellar vermis

    Hirofumi Fujita, Takashi Kodama, Sascha du Lac
    Medial cerebellar nucleus comprises five major types of excitatory projection neurons differentially connected with specific subsets of inferior olive neurons, Purkinje cells, and somatomotor, oromotor, positional-autonomic, orienting and arousal circuits.

    Structural basis of mitochondrial translation

    Shintaro Aibara, Vivek Singh ... Alexey Amunts
    Structural analysis of translating human mitoribosome illustrates elemental steps of translation in mitochondria.

    A machine-vision approach for automated pain measurement at millisecond timescales

    Jessica M Jones, William Foster ... Ishmail Abdus-Saboor
    Development of a fully automated pain scale using machine learning tools in computational neuroethology and creation of new software, reveals a robust circuit-dissection compatible platform for objective pain measurement.
