    The microtubule-binding protein EML3 is required for mammalian embryonic growth and cerebral cortical development, and Eml3 null mice are a model of cobblestone brain malformation

    Isabelle Carrier, Eduardo Diez ... Roderick McInnes
    Absence of EML3 in mice leads to delayed embryonic development, small size, perinatal lethality, and the over-migration of neuroblasts due to a defective pial basement membrane.

    Comparing the outputs of intramural and extramural grants funded by National Institutes of Health

    Xiang Zheng, Qiyao Yang ... B Ian Hutchins
    Funding mechanisms impact the cost effectiveness of the science conducted, as extramural NIH grants to universities excel at producing papers and citations, while intramural NIH hiring more effectively translates to clinical impact.

    Inferring variant-specific effective reproduction numbers from combined case and sequencing data

    Marlin D Figgins, Trevor Bedford
    Integrating case counts with genomic sequences quantifies real-time transmission advantages of viral variants.

    The targeted cytosolic degradation of class I histone deacetylases is essential for efficient alphaherpesvirus replication

    Sheng-Li Ming, Meng-Hua Du ... Bei-Bei Chu
    Alphaherpesviruses hijack host epigenetic regulation by promoting HDAC1/2 nuclear export and degradation to activate the DNA damage response, revealing new antiviral therapeutic targets.

    Theta beta ratio in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder using a multiverse analysis

    Dawid Strzelczyk, Andrea Vetsch, Nicolas Langer
    Individual alpha peak frequency and aperiodic neural activity shape theta-beta ratio estimates, limiting their value as an ADHD biomarker.

    Proteomic composition and mutual assembly of the C2a projection in vertebrate motile cilia

    Qian Lyu, Qingchao Li ... Huijie Zhao
    Deficiency in any of the interdependent C2a proteins (CCDC108, MYCBPAP, and CFAP70) collapses this central pair microtubule-associated projection, disrupting vertebrate ciliary movement, and causing primary ciliary dyskinesia phenotypes in mice.

    TGF-β drives the conversion of conventional NK cells into uterine tissue-resident NK cells to support murine pregnancy

    Josselyn D Barahona, Liping Yang ... Wayne M Yokoyama
    Uterine natural killer (NK) cells require TGF-β to be derived from conventional NK cells and contribute to successful pregnancy.

    Lenacapavir-induced lattice hyperstabilization is central to HIV-1 capsid failure at the nuclear pore complex and in the cytoplasm

    Arpa Hudait, Ryan C Burdick ... Gregory A Voth
    Lenacapavir disrupts HIV-1 capsid elasticity, inducing mechanical rupture at the nuclear pore, highlighting that altering viral material properties can be a viable antiviral drug design strategy.

    Cribriform plate microenvironment assembles a suppressive myeloid network during EAE-induced neuroinflammation

    Collin Laaker, Martin Hsu ... Zsuzsanna Fabry
    Regulatory immune cells accumulate at the nose-to-brain interface during neuroinflammation, potentially dampening damaging immune responses.

    Medial prefrontal cortex encodes but is not required to generate goal-directed actions under threat

    Muhammad S Sajid, Ji Zhou, Manuel A Castro-Alamancos
    Medial prefrontal cortex activity is not required for learning or execution of adaptive avoidance behavior, despite encoding select task features.
