    Landing force reveals new form of motion-induced sound camouflage in a wild predator

    Kim Schalcher, Estelle Milliet ... Emily LC Shepard
    Bio-logging reveals that barn owls enhance hunting success by using man-made poles to silently approach their prey, emphasizing a link between predator-prey interactions and land-use in the agricultural landscape.

    YAP/TAZ enhances P-body formation to promote tumorigenesis

    Xia Shen, Xiang Peng ... Chen-Ying Liu
    P-body is a new downstream effector of YAP/TAZ for tumorigenesis and tumor progression, suggesting disruption of P-bodies as a potential therapeutic strategy for tumors with active YAP.

    Glycan-shielded homodimer structure and dynamical features of the canine distemper virus hemagglutinin relevant for viral entry and efficient vaccination

    Hideo Fukuhara, Kohei Yumoto ... Katsumi Maenaka
    X-ray crystallographic and atomic force microscopic analyses reveal the tilted homodimer structure and unanticipated dynamic characteristics of canine distemper virus-hemagglutinin (CDV-H), providing insights into the molecular and dynamic processes of Morbillivirus for cell entry, effective immunizations, and vaccine/drug design.

    Sex differences in discrimination behavior and orbitofrontal engagement during context-gated reward prediction

    Sophie Peterson, Amanda Maheras ... Ronald Keiflin
    Rodent model of context-dependent discrimination reveals sex-biased tradeoff between speed of acquisition and robustness of contextual control over cue-elicited reward seeking, linked to orbitofrontal cortex activation.

    Targeting plasmid-encoded proteins that contain immunoglobulin-like domains to combat antimicrobial resistance

    Alejandro Prieto, Luïsa Miró ... Antonio Juarez
    A novel strategy to combat antimicrobial resistance has been identified by using vaccines and nanobodies to target specific extracellular proteins located on multiresistant bacterial plasmids.

    Aberrant hippocampal Ca2+ microwaves following synapsin-dependent adeno-associated viral expression of Ca2+ indicators

    Nicola Masala, Manuel Mittag ... Tony Kelly
    Common adeno-associated viral transduction procedures induce artefactual spatially confined Ca2+ waves in the hippocampus.

    The mechanism of mammalian proton-coupled peptide transporters

    Simon M Lichtinger, Joanne L Parker ... Philip C Biggin
    The manner in which protons control the conformational behaviour of mammalian peptide transporters is revealed through state-of-the-art molecular dynamics simulations supported by cell-based assays.

    circHIPK3 nucleates IGF2BP2 and functions as a competing endogenous RNA

    Trine Line Hauge Okholm, Andreas Bjerregaard Kamstrup ... Christian Kroun Damgaard
    A dysregulated circular RNA in bladder cancer controls oncogenic pathways by tethering specific RNA-binding proteins, which in turn inhibits their normal functions.

    Optical mapping of ground reaction force dynamics in freely behaving Drosophila melanogaster larvae

    Jonathan H Booth, Andrew T Meek ... Malte C Gather
    A new optical approach reveals dynamics of ground reaction forces in Drosophila larvae and opens new avenues for studying the biomechanics of movement in small animals.

    Drosophila medulla neuroblast termination via apoptosis, differentiation, and gliogenic switch is scheduled by the depletion of the neuroepithelial stem cell pool

    Phuong-Khanh Nguyen, Louise Y Cheng
    The termination of medulla neuroblasts is specified by the depletion of the neuroepithelium and mediated by apoptosis, differentiation, and gliogenic switch.
