    Boosting hyperalignment performance with age-specific templates

    Yuqi Zhang, Maria Ida Gobbini ... Ma Feilong
    Age-specific templates improve the quality of functional alignment using hyperalignment algorithms, and the improvement is consistent across age groups, validation analyses, and datasets.

    Microenvironmental arginine restriction sensitizes pancreatic cancers to polyunsaturated fatty acids by suppression of lipid synthesis

    Patrick B Jonker, Mumina Sadullozoda ... Alexander Muir
    Modeling the metabolic microenvironment of pancreatic tumors leads to the identification of polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism as a vulnerability of pancreatic cancer.

    Apparent cooperativity between human CMV virions introduces errors in conventional methods of calculating multiplicity of infection

    Christopher Peterson, Joshua Miller ... Vitaly V Ganusov
    Cooperation between individual virions of human cytomegalovirus at infecting cells leads to nonlinear scaling of cell infection probability with virion concentration.

    Methylation clocks fail to generalize across genetically admixed individuals

    Sebastián Cruz-Gonzalez, Ogechukwu Okpala ... John A Capra
    DNA-methylation-based predictors of biological age often fail to generalize across human populations, limiting their utility as biomarkers of aging and disease.

    Proteome dynamics reveal Leiomodin 1 as a key regulator of myogenic differentiation

    Ellen Späth, Svenja C Schüler ... Alessandro Ori
    Leiomodin 1 acts as a critical molecular switch during early muscle stem cell differentiation by sequestering the deacetylase SIRT1 in the cytoplasm to initiate the myogenic program.

    Concurrent category-selective neural activity across the ventral occipito-temporal cortex supports a non-hierarchical view of human visual recognition

    Corentin Jacques, Jacques Jonas ... Bruno Rossion
    Face-selective neural activity occurs concurrently across the human ventral occipito-temporal cortex, challenging traditional hierarchical models of visual object recognition where response latencies increase along the cortical hierarchy.
    1. Neuroscience

    Pupil size reveals the perceptual quality and effortless nature of synesthesia

    Christoph Strauch, Casper Leenaars, Romke Rouw
    Synesthetes' pupils reflect the brightness of colors that they only see internally, making their hidden perceptual experience objectively measurable.

    Analysis of cancer mutations introduced into the Drosophila melanogaster Notch negative regulatory region uncovers a diversity of regulatory outcomes

    Hideyuki Shimizu, Martin Baron
    Heterogeneity in outcomes of differently located activating mutations of Notch indicates the need and potential for mutant specific targeting of Notch in cancer.

    Niche exclusion of a lung pathogen in mice with designed probiotic communities

    Kelsey E Hern, Ashlee M Phillips ... Adam P Arkin
    Probiotic communities designed to inhibit a lung pathogen through niche exclusion show promise as a novel method of preventing respiratory infection.
    1. Neuroscience

    Heritability of movie-evoked brain activity and connectivity

    David C Gruskin, Daniel J Vieira ... Gaurav H Patel
    Genetic influences on how the brain processes complex naturalistic stimuli can be traced back to inherited control over stable spatial and temporal features of brain function.
