    Sub-minute prediction of brain temperature based on sleep–wake state in the mouse

    Yaniv Sela, Marieke MB Hoekstra, Paul Franken
    The sleep–wake state sequence explains almost all of the variance in brain temperature in the mouse, and its detailed dynamics can be accurately predicted only using sleep–wake information.

    Identifying molecular features that are associated with biological function of intrinsically disordered protein regions

    Taraneh Zarin, Bob Strome ... Alan M Moses
    A statistical model systematically associates functions of intrinsically disordered regions with sequence-distributed molecular features such as charge, residue composition, or repeat content.

    The temporal and spectral characteristics of expectations and prediction errors in pain and thermoception

    Andreas Strube, Michael Rose ... Christian Büchel
    Key variables required for pain perception in the context of a predictive coding model are correlated with distinct oscillatory profiles.

    Antagonism of PP2A is an independent and conserved function of HIV-1 Vif and causes cell cycle arrest

    Sara Marelli, James C Williamson ... Nicholas J Matheson
    Systematic screen of HIV-1 Vif mutants identifies synthetic and naturally occurring amino acid polymorphisms separating PPP2R5 and APOBEC3 family protein depletion and uncovers the mechanism of Vif-dependent cell cycle arrest.

    Surprising phenotypic diversity of cancer-associated mutations of Gly 34 in the histone H3 tail

    Brandon R Lowe, Rajesh K Yadav ... Janet F Partridge
    H3-G34R, V, and W oncohistonesin fission yeast cause differential K36 modification, DNA damage sensitivity and genome stability outcomes, highlighting the need for a thorough evaluation of distinct mutations.

    Tripartite suppression of fission yeast TORC1 signaling by the GATOR1-Sea3 complex, the TSC complex, and Gcn2 kinase

    Tomoyuki Fukuda, Fajar Sofyantoro ... Kazuhiro Shiozaki
    Sea3, a presumed subunit of the GATOR2 complex in fission yeast, is required for the GATOR1 function that attenuates TORC1 in parallel with the TSC complex and Gcn2 kinase.

    Emx2 regulates hair cell rearrangement but not positional identity within neuromasts

    Sho Ohta, Young Rae Ji ... Doris K Wu
    Emx2 is not required for sibling HCs to acquire their designated locations within the neuromast, inferring that Emx2 mediates opposite HC orientation by changing location of hair bundle establishment.

    The interplay between asymmetric and symmetric DNA loop extrusion

    Edward J Banigan, Leonid A Mirny
    Models of chromosome compaction by condensins demonstrate that two-sided loop extrusion and long residence times are required for high compaction, suggesting a tight coupling between these two properties in vivo.

    Cardiac endothelial cells maintain open chromatin and expression of cardiomyocyte myofibrillar genes

    Nora Yucel, Jessie Axsom ... Zoltan Arany
    Endothelial cells in the heart have transcriptional and epigenetic signatures of cardiomyocytes.

    Ultrastructural comparison of dendritic spine morphology preserved with cryo and chemical fixation

    Hiromi Tamada, Jerome Blanc ... Graham W Knott
    Cryo preservation of brain tissue reveals dendritic spines with thinner necks compared to those prepared with chemical fixation.
