Dynamic relocalization of MinD in Bacillus subtilis arises from membrane binding of monomers and dimers with membrane-triggered ATP hydrolysis, suggesting MinE-like activators are unnecessary for Min system dynamics.

In Gambian infants, positive growth from 0 to 5 months of age predicted more mature brain networks, which in turn predicted cognitive outcomes at 3-5 years.
Transcriptome-wide profiling of bacterial RNA pseudouridylation maps modification landscapes and nominates candidate regulatory sites, offering a resource and foundation for future mechanistic studies of Ψ function in bacteria.

Connexin43 is the most ubiquitously expressed connexin in the human body, and the CO2-dependent opening of Connexin43 hemichannels implies that CO2 may influence many physiological processes.
A range of biophysical techniques is used in combination with computational analysis to understand whether glutamine-binding protein binds its ligand via the induced-fit or conformational selection mechanism.

A cognitive adaptation in Heliconius butterflies, accompanied by strikingly divergent changes in two principal insect integration centres, reveals that neural circuits can differ strongly in their propensity for evolutionary change.
A conserved kinase network links nutrient sensing to chromosome segregation and gene regulation by modulating cohesin dynamics through phosphorylation.
