Rather than complex decisions, it is the motion of individuals that allows for collective foraging regulation in ant colonies.

A brain chart database, containing functional and structural normative models, was tested to compare normative modeling features to raw features across three benchmarking tasks including group difference testing, classification, and regression.

A highly sophisticated and adaptive interplay between modulation of myosin II function by light chain phosphorylation and environmentally controlled formin availability, is critical for a successful cytokinesis during respiratory carbohydrate metabolism in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

A new screening strategy for divergent homologs of insect odorant and gustatory receptors, based upon predicted three-dimensional structural similarity, unexpectedly identifies candidates in humans.

Loss of myelin integrity in the mouse forebrain perturbs executive functions, assessed by tests requiring normal motor performance.

Many small-molecule fragments bind differently to the allosteric protein PTP1B in room-temperature instead of cryogenic crystal structures, which may be relevant for structure-based drug design.

Biallelic variants in MCAT are associated with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency in humans and a clinical presentation that includes hypotonia, developmental delay, failure to thrive, and nystagmus.

Longstanding eco-evolutionary theories are tested using shotgun metagenomic data from the human gut microbiome, showing links between community diversity and the evolutionary trajectory of a focal species within the community.

Discovery of new Snf1/AMPK targets in the TORC1 pathway highlights the complex, multilayered crosstalk between major signaling pathways in the regulation of nutrient deprivation sensing.

Mutations conferring resistance to Escherichia coli against the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine can have opposite effects on bacterial drug degradation and therefore can increase or decrease the chemotherapy load on neighboring cancer cells.
