The brain computes rapidly and reliably using brief electrical impulses and likely exploits internal memory in nerve cells to achieve this more efficiently than existing computing hardware and neural networks.

Type I and type II inhibitors differentially affect LRRK2 filament formation around microtubules, revealing an important consideration for Parkinson’s disease drug development.
Endosomes operate several exit routes that sort protein cargo and depend on pathway-specific associations of a PROPPIN with the responsible protein coat, such as the here identified CROP2, to support the departure of the cargo carriers.

A unified structural model of IRE1 activation reconciles conflicting sensing theories by characterizing specific peptide-binding sites and the mechanism by which BiP regulates oligomerization during the unfolded protein response.
Invasive Lantana camara exhibits strong genetic structure, unlike many invasive species, likely driven by predominant self-fertilization across its invasive range rather than the presence of multiple species.

Through low levels of extracellular ATP, EPEC induces small, rapid and coordinated Ca2+ responses in epithelial cells, a yet unreported pattern, that down-regulate inflammation at the onset of infection.

Across three global Escherichia coli regulators, identical starting sequences can evolve toward many distinct strong-binding peaks, with chance, historical contingency, and evolutionary bias shaping which outcomes prevail.

High-resolution single-cell transcriptomics reveals the molecular programs and signaling networks driving Schlemm's canal and trabecular meshwork development, establishing a foundation for understanding glaucoma pathogenesis.
