    1. Immunology and Inflammation

    Contrasting roles for IKK-regulated inflammatory signalling pathways for development and maintenance of type 1 and adaptive γδ T cells

    Farjana Islam, Cayman Williams ... Benedict Seddon
    Inhibitor of κB kinase signalling differentially controls development and survival of γδ T cell subsets through nuclear factor-κB activation and repression of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1-driven necroptosis, revealing distinct inflammatory signalling requirements from αβ T cells.

    Principles of gamma synchrony predict figure–ground perception in texture stimuli

    Maryam Karimian, Mark Jonathan Roberts ... Mario Senden
    Principles of weakly coupled oscillators capture human figure-ground segregation and its training-induced enhancement, indicating gamma synchrony remains a plausible grouping mechanism.
    1. Neuroscience

    The dominance of large-scale phase dynamics in human cortex, from delta to gamma

    David M Alexander, Laura Dugué
    The phase of cortical activity, measured in the gray matter, is organized at multiple spatial scales, with the largest scales explaining most variance in phase at a given temporal frequency.

    Specialisation of meiotic kinetochores revealed through a synthetic spindle assembly checkpoint strategy

    Lori B Koch, Tiasha Ghosh ... Adèle L Marston
    A system to enrich yeast in metaphase of mitosis, meiosis I, or meiosis II reveals reduced spindle assembly checkpoint robustness in meiosis I and distinct kinetochore composition and phosphorylation states.

    Challenges in replay detection by TDLM in post-encoding resting state

    Simon Kern, Juliane Nagel ... Gordon B Feld
    Detecting replay during longer time periods (e.g. resting state or sleep) with temporally delayed linear modeling (TDLM) requires biologically implausible event densities, and purely synthetic simulations substantially overestimate the method's sensitivity.
    1. Developmental Biology

    Permissive and instructive Hox codes govern limb positioning

    Yajun Wang, Maik Hintze ... Ruijin Huang
    Elucidation of the Hox code defining forelimb positioning provides novel insights into lateral plate mesoderm patterning and the integration of vertebrate column structure and limb positioning.

    Identification and comparison of orthologous cell types from primate embryoid bodies shows limits of marker gene transferability

    Jessica Jocher, Philipp Janssen ... Ines Hellmann
    Analysis of scRNA-seq data from primate embryoid bodies highlights the value of cross-species comparisons for identifying and characterizing cell types, as marker genes can evolve fast.

    Fitness drivers of division of labor in vertebrates

    Irene García-Ruiz, Dustin R Rubenstein
    Direct survival benefits in larger groups rather than kin-selected indirect fitness primarily drive the evolution of division of labor in cooperatively breeding vertebrates, particularly under harsh environmental conditions.
    1. Neuroscience

    Neuropeptidergic circuit modulation of developmental sleep in Drosophila

    Chikayo Hemmi, Kenichi Ishii ... Kazuo Emoto
    Different impacts of the same molecular and circuit mechanisms on sleep–wakefulness control in early-life juveniles and adults.

    A structural code for assembly specificity in GID/CTLH-type E3 ligases

    Pia Maria van gen Hassend, Hermann Schindelin
    Structural characterization of the CTLH-CRA domain-mediated pairing in the CTLH ubiquitin ligase complex enables rational engineering of interfaces with altered binding specificity.
