    Fitness landscape of substrate-adaptive mutations in evolved amino acid-polyamine-organocation transporters

    Foteini Karapanagioti, Úlfur Águst Atlason ... Sebastian Obermaier
    Secondary active transporters can evolve to accommodate a broader range of substrates without losing their original substrate specificities.

    Reconfigurations of cortical manifold structure during reward-based motor learning

    Qasem Nick, Daniel J Gale ... Jason Gallivan
    Dimensionality reduction approaches on functional MRI data reveal that human reward-based motor learning emerges from dynamic changes in functional brain network interactions among sensorimotor, attention, and default mode networks.

    Obox4 promotes zygotic genome activation upon loss of Dux

    Youjia Guo, Tomohiro Kitano ... Haruhiko Siomi
    Analysis of mouse zygotic genome activation (ZGA) reveals that a mis-annotated multicopy homeobox gene Obox4 functions redundantly with Dux to promote ZGA.

    The vaginal immunoproteome for the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth: A retrospective longitudinal study

    Zachary Shaffer, Roberto Romero ... Nardhy Gomez-Lopez
    The vaginal immunoproteome in pregnancy is more predictive of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) than maternal characteristics alone, with sPTB cases showing heightened pro-inflammatory profiles accompanied by reduced levels of antimicrobial proteins/peptides.

    Mapping the molecular motions of 5-HT3 serotonin-gated channel by voltage-clamp fluorometry

    Laurie Peverini, Sophie Shi ... Pierre-Jean Corringer
    Conformational motions elicited by antagonists, partial agonists, and agonists in serotonin-gated ion channels 5-HT3AR progressively spread from the extracellular to the transmembrane domain.

    The αC-β4 loop controls the allosteric cooperativity between nucleotide and substrate in the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A

    Cristina Olivieri, Yingjie Wang ... Gianluigi Veglia
    The αC-β4 loop emerges as a hot spot for tuning allosteric cooperativity in the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A.
    1. Neuroscience

    Medial anterior prefrontal cortex stimulation downregulates implicit reactions to threats and prevents the return of fear

    Eugenio Manassero, Giulia Concina ... Benedetto Sacchetti
    Implicit defensive reactions to a learned threat-predictive cue and novel stimuli may be significantly downregulated through a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation procedure over the medial anterior prefrontal cortex in humans.

    Eugenol mimics exercise to promote skeletal muscle fiber remodeling and myokine IL-15 expression by activating TRPV1 channel

    Tengteng Huang, Xiaoling Chen ... Zhiqing Huang
    Eugenol has the potential as a novel exercise mimetic, and TRPV1 may represent a promising target for the development of exercise mimetics.

    Visuo-motor updating in individuals with heightened autistic traits

    Antonella Pomè, Eckart Zimmermann
    Efference copy dysfunctions in heightened autistic traits impair the use of eye movement information for spatial representation and object localization.

    Discovering non-additive heritability using additive GWAS summary statistics

    Samuel Pattillo Smith, Gregory Darnell ... Lorin Crawford
    Computational analysis reveals that additive summary statistics from genome-wide association studies can provide evidence of non-additive heritability in complex traits.
