    Phase-tuned neuronal firing encodes human contextual representations for navigational goals

    Andrew J Watrous, Jonathan Miller ... Joshua Jacobs
    Prospective navigational goals are represented by single neuron firing rates and firing relative to slow oscillatory phase (phase coding) in the human medial temporal lobe.

    TASEP modelling provides a parsimonious explanation for the ability of a single uORF to derepress translation during the integrated stress response

    Dmitry E Andreev, Maxim Arnold ... Pavel V Baranov
    A model reveals how translation of an mRNA leader could provide resistance to global downregulation of translation.

    Host autophagy machinery is diverted to the pathogen interface to mediate focal defense responses against the Irish potato famine pathogen

    Yasin F Dagdas, Pooja Pandey ... Tolga O Bozkurt
    Defense-related selective autophagy mediated by the antimicrobial autophagy cargo receptor NBR1/Joka2 is diverted to pathogen penetration sites to restrict plant colonization by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

    Proteolytic maturation of α2δ controls the probability of synaptic vesicular release

    Laurent Ferron, Ivan Kadurin, Annette C Dolphin
    Proteolytic maturation of auxiliary α2δ subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels increases neuronal communication by controlling the synaptic release of neurotransmitter.

    Predicting the likelihood and intensity of mosquito infection from sex specific Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte density

    John Bradley, Will Stone ... Teun Bousema
    Malaria transmission between human and mosquito depends on the number of male and female gametocytes in the blood.

    Depleting Trim28 in adult mice is well tolerated and reduces levels of α-synuclein and tau

    Maxime WC Rousseaux, Jean-Pierre Revelli ... Huda Y Zoghbi
    Loss of a developmentally essential gene in adulthood is tolerated in mice, thus offering potential therapeutic options for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

    G9a regulates temporal preimplantation developmental program and lineage segregation in blastocyst

    Jan J Zylicz, Maud Borensztein ... M Azim Surani
    Loss of a maternally inherited epigenetic modifier leads to establishment of an aberrant regulatory network in preimplantation embryos, developmental delay and destabilisation of cell-fate choices.

    Directional selectivity of afferent neurons in zebrafish neuromasts is regulated by Emx2 in presynaptic hair cells

    Young Rae Ji, Sunita Warrier ... Katie S Kindt
    Emx2 mediates the directional selectivity of neuromasts by regulating hair bundle orientation in hair cells, and by selecting afferent neuronal targets.

    Fine-tuning of substrate preferences of the Src-family kinase Lck revealed through a high-throughput specificity screen

    Neel H Shah, Mark Löbel ... John Kuriyan
    A high-throughput comparison of substrate specificities of the Src-family kinases Lck and c-Src against a library of proteome-derived phosphorylation sites reveals that Lck has evolved divergent electrostatic features reflecting its involvement in T-cell signaling.

    Shorter cortical adaptation in dyslexia is broadly distributed in the superior temporal lobe and includes the primary auditory cortex

    Sagi Jaffe-Dax, Eva Kimel, Merav Ahissar
    BOLD activity throughout the cortex, including auditory cortex and associative regions, reveals that adaptation is shorter in dyslexia.
