    The chromatin remodeller CHD4 regulates transcription factor binding to both prevent activation of silent enhancers and maintain active regulatory elements

    Andria Koulle, Oluwaseun Ogundele ... Brian Hendrich
    CHD4 directly limits transcription factor binding to chromatin, which prevents activation of silent or cryptic enhancers but facilitates activity of active enhancers.

    Information, certainty, and learning

    Justin A Harris, Charles Randy Gallistel
    The acquisition and expression of Pavlovian conditioned responding are shown to be lawfully related to objectively specifiable temporal properties of the events the animal is learning about.

    Polymorphisms in intron 1 of HLA-DRA differentially associate with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease and implicate involvement of complement system genes C4A and C4B

    Ozkan Aydemir, Jeffrey A Bailey ... TEDDY Study Group
    HLA-DRA intronic haplotype associates with opposite effects on type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, refining genetic risk prediction and implicating complement genes C4A and C4B in divergent autoimmune pathways.

    Single-nucleus transcriptional and chromatin accessibility analyses of maturing mouse Achilles tendon uncover the molecular landscape of tendon stem/progenitor cells

    Hiroki Tsutsumi, Tomoki Chiba ... Hiroshi Asahara
    Single-cell profiling reveals CD55+CD248+ tendon stem/progenitor cells.

    The representation of facial emotion expands from sensory to prefrontal cortex with development

    Xiaoxu Fan, Abhishek Tripathi, Kelly Bijanki
    Facial emotion representations expand from sensory cortex to prefrontal regions across development, suggesting that the prefrontal cortex matures with development to enable a full understanding of facial emotion.

    Causal evidence for a domain-specific role of left superior frontal sulcus in human perceptual decision-making

    Miguel Barretto-Garcia, Marcus Grueschow ... Christian C Ruff
    Disrupting left superior frontal sulcus selectively impaired perceptual but not value-based decisions, revealing segregated prefrontal circuits for integrating sensory evidence versus subjective preferences in human choice behaviour.
    1. Neuroscience

    A forebrain hub for cautious actions via the midbrain

    Ji Zhou, Muhammad Sarmad Sajid ... Manuel A Castro-Alamancos
    Cautious action timing under threat depends on glutamatergic signaling from the subthalamic nucleus to the midbrain, revealing a circuit mechanism for adaptive goal-directed behavior.

    Feeding rates in sessile versus motile ciliates are hydrodynamically equivalent

    Jingyi Liu, Yi Man ... Eva Kanso
    Fluid flow analysis reveals that both swimming and sessile ciliates achieve competitive nutrient uptake, resolving the long-standing debate over the hydrodynamic advantage of either strategy.

    Human brain dynamics and spatiotemporal trajectories during threat processing

    Joyneel Misra, Luiz Pessoa
    Intrinsic neural attractors and extrinsic environmental inputs jointly steer the dynamic trajectories of brain activity during threat processing.

    Mitochondrial protein carboxyl-terminal alanine-threonine tailing promotes human glioblastoma growth by regulating mitochondrial function

    Bei Zhang, Ting Cai ... Zhihao Wu
    The carboxyl-terminal alanine-threonine-tailed protein ATP5α helps glioblastoma mitochondria maintain a high membrane potential and keep the permeability transition pore closed, thereby promoting tumor growth and increasing resistance to apoptosis.
