When used to capture fluid cognition, Brain Age likely fails to add substantially more information over and above chronological age and could miss up to around one-third of the variation.

A novel behavioural pipeline enables the quantitative analysis of the onset of movement in Drosophila embryos revealing that a microRNA modulates this process through regulatory effects in the sensory system.
Amyloid-beta aggregates and lipopolysaccharide differ in their kinetics of Myddosome formation and size of Myddosome formed, providing an explanation for the less efficient triggering of TLR4 observed with aggregates.
Viral evolution can lead to mutations that render specific glycosylation sites dispensable for folding and for supporting the protein's function, allowing changes in the shield, and in the immunogenic profile.

The self-buckling behavior of filamentous cyanobacteria allowed a quantification of their propulsion forces, indicating that adhesion plays an important role in gliding motility.
Scaffolding protein RAPSYN can exert its NEDD8 E3 ligase activity to neddylate and stabilize oncogenic BCR-ABL by competing proteasomal degradation in Ph+ leukemia.
Direct inhibition of pyridoxal phosphatase activity by 7,8-dihydroxyflavone indicates a pharmacological entry point into brain disorders associated with vitamin B6 deficiency.

DNA gyrase, a regulator of bacterial genomes topology, is shown to undergo rearrangements while functioning on DNA in vitro, with important potential consequences for gyrase-targeted antibiotics activity and bacterial evolution.
Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of diabetic mouse cavernous tissue revealed that LBH is a novel pericyte marker and may interact with Crystallin Alpha B and Vimentin to promote neurovascular regeneration.
