    DNA tensiometer reveals catch-bond detachment kinetics of kinesin-1, -2, and -3

    Crystal R Noell, Tzu-Chen Ma ... William O Hancock
    All three kinesin transport families exhibit unexpectedly slow dissociation under load, explaining robust competition with dynein during bidirectional cargo transport.

    Neural categorization of visual words of alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages

    Guo Zheng, Shihui Han
    Explaining the neural mechanisms underlying language-based, spontaneous categorization of visual words of alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages by combining electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, and a repetition suppression paradigm.

    Serial dependence predicts generalization in perceptual learning

    Noga Pinchuk-Yacobi, Dov Sagi, Yoram S Bonneh
    A single temporal integration process links momentary perceptual biases to the generalization of learned skills, providing a unifying account of specificity versus flexibility in human learning.

    FMRP regulates neuronal RNA granules containing stalled ribosomes, not where ribosomes stall

    Jewel T-Y Li, Mehdi Amiri ... Wayne S Sossin
    The loss of FMRP does not affect how neuronal ribosomes are stalled or where they are stalled, but reduces the number of neuronal RNA granules that contain stalled ribosomes.

    RNA selectively modulates activity of virulent amyloid PSMα3 and host-defense LL-37 via phase separation and aggregation dynamics

    Bader Rayan, Eilon Barnea ... Meytal Landau
    RNA differentially regulates the assembly pathways of bacterial and host α-helical peptides, revealing supramolecular architecture as a tunable determinant of cytotoxic and antimicrobial function.

    DuoHexaBody-CD37 induces direct cytotoxic signaling in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

    Simar Pal Singh, Kumar Mangalam ... Annemiek B van Spriel
    DuoHexaBody‑CD37 triggers complement‑independent cytotoxic signaling in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), revealing therapeutic pathways that can be exploited to enhance tumor cell killing through targeted combination strategies.

    The effect of physical activity on brain structure and cognitive function in the population-based cohort of LIFE-Adult Study

    Polona Kalc, Robert Dahnke ... Christian Gaser
    Although physical exercise could be a beneficial protective factor for brain health in later life, older adults tend to overestimate their actual levels of activity.

    In silico design and validation of high-affinity RNA aptamers for SARS-CoV-2 comparable to neutralizing antibodies

    Yanqing Yang, Lulu Qiao ... Ruhong Zhou
    Computer-Aided Aptamer Modeling and Optimization (CAAMO) enables structure-guided RNA aptamer affinity maturation, producing a SARS-CoV-2 RBD (receptor binding domain) binder that rivals neutralizing antibodies and retains predicted activity across variants.

    A natural experiment in Kenya reveals durable immunosuppressive effects of early childhood malaria: a longitudinal cohort study

    Mercy S Safari, Timothy O Makori ... Charles J Sande
    Early-life malaria exposure leaves a durable immunological imprint associated with reduced antibody responses to unrelated infections and vaccines.

    Linking germline telomere removal to global programmed DNA elimination in Tetrahymena genome differentiation

    Kohei Nagao, Alix Lemoine ... Kazufumi Mochizuki
    Tetrahymena germline chromosome ends contain germline-limited sequences that are removed by chromosome breakage, a critical step for programmed DNA elimination of other germline-limited sequences and successful sexual reproduction.
