     S6K1 phosphorylates Cdk1 and MSH6 to regulate DNA repair

     Adi Amar-Schwartz, Vered Ben Hur ... Rotem Karni

     Unbiased proteomics and molecular analysis revealed a new role for S6K1 in regulating DNA repair through the orchestrated phosphorylation of CDK1 and MSH6. The findings may explain why RPS6KB1 gene amplification contributed to breast cancer drug resistance.

     A visual sense of number emerges from divisive normalization in a simple center-surround convolutional network

     Joonkoo Park, David E Huber

     A set of canonical computational principles implemented in a simple feedforward neural network naturally gives rise to the network's sensitivity to numerosity and its illusory effects, providing an explanation for the ubiquity of the number sense in the animal kingdom.
