    TLR4 signaling drives tissue inflammation, Claudin-5 internalization, and vascular barrier breakdown in a mouse model of neonatal meningitis

    Philip V Seegren, Amir Rattner ... Jeremy Nathans
    In a mouse model of E. coli meningitis, non-myeloid TLR4 signaling is a key determinant of the inflammatory response in all leptomeningeal cells and of the increase in vascular permeability.

    Latent gene network expression underlies partial re-evolution of a polyphenic trait in the worker caste of ants

    Angelly Vasquez-Correa, Johanna Arnet ... Ehab Abouheif
    Latent developmental potential facilitates trait re-evolution with novel phenotypic patterns, adding a new perspective to understanding of the origins of novel traits in evolutionary and developmental biology.

    Economic and social modulations of innate decision-making in mice exposed to visual threats

    Zhe Li, Jiahui Wang ... Ya-tang Li
    Threat, reward, and social hierarchy jointly shape innate defensive decisions through vigilance-dependent value integration.

    Local inhibitory dynamics underpin temporal integration and functional segregation between barrels and septa in the mouse barrel cortex

    Ali Özgür Argunşah, Tevye Jason Stachniak ... Theofanis Karayannis
    Elfn1-mediated synaptic facilitation onto somatostatin-positive interneurons drives the local lateral inhibition required to functionally segregate cortical barrel and septal processing domains in mice.

    Probing relaxed myosin states in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by second harmonic-generation microscopy

    Giulia Arecchi, Marica Dente ... Chiara Tesi
    Label-free optical imaging provides a direct readout of relaxed myosin conformational states in skeletal and cardiac muscle.

    A behavioral architecture for realistic simulations of Drosophila larva locomotion and foraging

    Panagiotis Parthenios Sakagiannis, Anna-Maria Jürgensen, Martin Paul Nawrot
    A three-layered modular architecture unifies diverse computational models of Drosophila larval behavior, enabling realistic closed-loop simulations from locomotion through chemotaxis to associative learning.

    Cryo-EM structure of the bicarbonate receptor GPR30

    Shota Kaneda, Airi Jo-Watanabe ... Osamu Nureki
    Cryo-electron microscopy structure of human G-protein-coupled receptor 30 in the presence of bicarbonate ions revealed unique extracellular pockets and critical residues for bicarbonate binding and activation.

    Sibling chimerism among microglia in marmosets

    Ricardo CH del Rosario, Fenna M Krienen ... Steven A McCarroll
    Sibling-derived chimerism in marmosets is found only in cells of hematopoietic origin, especially microglia and macrophages in the brain, whose proportions vary widely across individuals and brain regions.

    Nucleation-dependent propagation of Polycomb modifications emerges during the Drosophila maternal to zygotic transition

    Natalie Gonzaga-Saavedra, Eleanor A Degen ... Shelby A Blythe
    Epigenomics and quantitative imaging are used to investigate the re-establishment of histone modifications associated with the Polycomb group of epigenetic regulators during the Drosophila maternal-to-zygotic transition.

    Parkinson’s disease-associated PINK1 loss disrupts ensheathing glia and causes dopaminergic neuron synapse loss

    Lorenzo Ghezzi, Sabine Kuenen ... Patrik Verstreken
    Parkinson’s disease-linked Pink1 loss disrupts protective glial support, and targeting glial vesicle trafficking preserves dopaminergic synapses.
