    Are interphylum spiralian relationships resolvable?

    Ana Serra Silva, Maximilian J Telford
    Analyses of two independent phylogenomic datasets suggest an explosive radiation at the origin of Spiralia, with implications for understanding the group's evolutionary history.

    Faroese whole genomes provide insight into ancestry and recent selection

    Iman Hamid, Ólavur Mortensen ... Noomi O Gregersen
    Present-day Faroese genomes reveal ancestry, bottleneck history, and signatures of selection, and offer a foundation for understanding the genetic architecture of health and disease in this North Atlantic founder population.

    Genome reorganization and its functional impact during breast cancer progression

    Kathleen S Metz Reed, Andrew Fritz ... Tom Misteli
    Genome-wide maps of chromatin structure in a cell-based model of breast cancer reveal chromatin reorganization accompanied by changes in transcription and epigenetic marks.

    The DBD-α4 helix of EWSR1::FLI1 is required for GGAA microsatellite binding that underlies genome regulation in Ewing sarcoma

    Ariunaa Bayanjargal, Cenny Taslim ... Emily Rose Theisen
    A discrete helix in the fusion oncoprotein DNA binding domain shifts binding preferences toward long and dense GGAA repeats, which promotes transcriptional hub formation and drives EWSR1::FLI1-mediated gene regulation.

    Nuclear CK1δ as a critical determinant of PER:CRY complex dynamics and circadian period

    Fidel Emmanuel Serrano, Daniela Marzoll ... Michael Brunner
    Repressive PER2:CRY1:CK1δ complexes assembling in the cytosol enter the nucleus, where PER2 hyperphosphorylation eventually disrupts the complex, causing PER2 to relocalize to the cytoplasm, allowing nuclear accumulation of CRY1.

    Exposure to false cardiac feedback alters pain perception and anticipatory cardiac frequency

    Eleonora Parrotta, Patric Bach ... Francesca Ferri
    Interoceptive predictions can bias both the subjective experience of pain and physiological preparation.

    Starvation of the bacterium Vibrio atlanticus induces simultaneous attacks on the dinoflagellate Alexandrium pacificum

    Jean-Luc Rolland, Estelle Masseret ... Raphael Lami
    Vibrio bacteria act as predators of ecologically significant algae that contribute to harmful blooms.

    Disrupted hippocampal theta-gamma coupling and spike-field coherence following experimental traumatic brain injury

    Christopher D Adam, Ehsan Mirzakhalili ... John A Wolf
    Experimental TBI results in distinct patterns of network-level pathophysiology in the hippocampus that may contribute to TBI-associated cognitive deficits.

    Tactile localization of the breast, areola, and nipple

    Katie H Long, Emily E Fitzgerald ... Charles M Greenspon
    The breast, despite its importance in sexual and affective touch, exhibits poor tactile localization and demonstrates a relationship between size and innervation density.

    Contractile perinuclear actomyosin network promotes peripheral and polar chromosome interaction with the mitotic spindle

    Nooshin Sheidaei, John K Eykelenboom ... Tomoyuki U Tanaka
    An actomyosin network (PANEM) forms around the nucleus in prophase, and its contraction repositions peripheral and polar chromosomes to facilitate their interaction with the mitotic spindle, ensuring their correct segregation.
